New features and enhancements in SNS version 4.8.10 LTSB

New DNS servers

Servers from the European provider dns0 are added to firewalls' host objects, under the names dns1.dns0.eu and dns2.dns0.eu. If factory settings are restored on the firewall after an update to SNS version 4.8.10, dns0 servers will be used by default. Objects corresponding to Google's DNS service will not be removed.

The CLI/Serverd command LIST now provides the full user ID (UID) in the form username@domain.

Changes to the hosting of the Bitdefender URL classification service

URL classification requests are now sent to a Bitdefender service that is hosted by Stormshield, instead of directly on Bitdefender infrastructure. Currently in a transitional stage until December 31, 2025, requests will switch to the service hosted by Bitdefender after five unsuccessful requests on Stormshield infrastructure.
