We've made significant improvements to traffic flow over MQ, resulting in more efficient data transmission and reduced latency.

4. Improved Validation for Internet Gateways

The validation checks for Internet Gateways have been enhanced, ensuring more reliable configurations and reducing the likelihood of misconfigurations.

Known Issues 🐞

While we've made significant improvements, there are a few known issues we're actively working on:

  1. Erratic traffic data in metrics
  2. Propagation issues with custom private/public keys for Remote Access Gateway clients
  3. IPv6 DNS entries not functioning correctly
  4. Potential stale peer issues when forcibly removing from multiple networks simultaneously
  5. DNS toggle functionality inconsistencies
  6. WireGuard DNS issues on Ubuntu 24.04 and some newer Linux distributions (affecting Remote Access Client and plain WireGuard external clients)

For the WireGuard DNS issue, we've provided a workaround in our help center: ExtClient/RAC DNS Issue on Ubuntu 24.04

Upgrading to v0.24.3

We recommend all users upgrade to this latest version to benefit from the new features and improvements. As always, please back up your configurations before upgrading and test the new version in a non-production environment first.

Happy networking!
