Collax Advanced Networking: Policy-Routing in Network and of local System Services

From this update on it is possible to policy-route local generated traffic. With that individual routing of local services it is for example possible to route the web-traffic or the update of virus scanner thru a seperate route. Thus the bandwidth of other routes may be used for more important stuff. Also special source nets or hosts groups can be routed individually.

Issues Fixed in this Version

Collax Web Security: Squid 3.1

Squid has been updated to the new version 3.1 which allows the usage of Single-Sign-On for the webproxy via Kerberos.

Collax Advanced Networking: Multiple Links into one Target Network (Multi Wan)

If multiple routes to a network has the same priority the network traffic can be shared between multiple connections. With configured port-forwarding or access to these connections problems like wrong sent network packets may occured. Thus, port-forwarding did not work with Multi WAN. With this update this problem has been solved. The usage of multiple connections to a destination network may be used with port forwarding without any problems.

Notes

Collax Advanced Networking: Multiple Links into one Target Network (Multi Wan)

With this update all functions of the modul will be installed and can be used on the server. In the list of additional modules in the “License and modules” formular the module will be shown as not installed. To solve this you have to run the Install action.

Collax Advanced Networking: Multi Wan Links for fallback

If the HTTP-Traffic of the web proxy should be routed thru a special link and the traffic is scanned by the Avira-Web scanner the subsystem Filter must be used.

Add-on Software: New Licensing of Avira Antivir

The Anti Virus product Avira Antivir will now be identically licensed like all Collax Modules. With this method a higher handling comfort is reached.

Add-on Software: Download Progress Bar when using Avira Antivir Web-Virus-Filter

The anti virus product Avira Antivir displayed a special progress bar while scanning downloaded files. With the new anti virus technology within this update this progress bar becomes superfluous. From this update the progress bar of Avira Antivir is going to be removed.
