  • Now, the user can choose to proceed or not (knowing that software activation might fail right after installation).

Bug fixing

  • Reception of fragmented packets in reverse order is not working properly.
  • Bad DPD handling when DPD reply from the gateway is lost, and the VPN Client resend a new DPD sequence.
  • IKE process (TgbIke) might crash when the IP address is changing.
  • Packets with DF flag (i.e. Don't Fragment) are not handled properly in some specific circumstances.
  • The button 'Add WINS' server stays enabled after VPN tunnel opens in Mode-Config.
  • Alternate WINS server addresses are not applied to the Virtual Interface, and not showed in the VPN Client > 'Phase2 IPsec' > 'Advanced' tab after the VPN tunnel opens in Mode-Config.
  • Wrong DNS server IP address format displayed after the VPN tunnel opens in Mode-Config.
  • No connectivity to the DNS server when setting up an Alternative DNS in some very rare Windows configuration.
  • Crash when using 'easyVPN' module in some circumstances. 'easyVPN' module allows to fetch a VPN Configuration on a VPN configuration server making VPN configuration update very easy for IT managers and users.
  • License agreement is displayed in Spanish when choosing Italian during setup.
  • IKE port and NAT ports not updated correctly upon VPN Configuration changes by user.
  • Unable to open tunnel (Phase 2 not completed) when forcing NAT-T in Transport Mode in the VPN Configuration.
  • DIR command (FTP protocol) doesn't work when trying to access a FTP server within a VPN tunnel, in some network circumstances.
  • No systray icon (taskbar) when Windows starts or after sleep mode, in some Windows configurations.
  • Multiple Phase1 with the same remote gateway addresses would not work properly.

Known issues

  • The VPN Client virtual network interface appears in "Unidentified network" list in Windows Control Panel (Network).
  • In VPN Configuration with two VPN Tunnels with the same virtual IP address, DNS/WINS server address of the first VPN tunnel only is used. Workaround: use 2 different virtual IP addresses if DNS/WINS server addresses must be different for each VPN tunnel.
  • Impossibility to join several networks at the same time when using vpn ssl feature.
