New in this version

System Management: Linux kernel 5.10.98 and Hyper-V module

With version 7.2 a new kernel was introduced (5.10). This no longer had the modules for Microsoft Hyper-V guest support loaded. When running Collax C-Server as a virtual machine on a Windows server, this resulted in the hard disk no longer being recognized and an infinite loop during booting. With this update this is now fixed by installing the new Linux kernel 5.10.98.

VPN: Fix for IKEv2 with Microsoft Windows breaks after 7.6 hours.

VPN connections with IKEv2 and Microsoft Windows’ on-board means are interrupted after exactly 7.6 hours. The error occurs because Microsoft Windows proposes different algorithms during the IKE re-encryption than during the first connection. The problem can be solved with a registry fix by changing changing the value “NegotiateDH2048_AES256” under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\Parameters to 1 is set.

At the following link you can find a REG file (registry entry) that adds the registry key. Collax assumes no liability for system errors resulting from this.
