The release of Lanemu P2P VPN 0.12 has occurred — a decentralized virtual private network operating on a Peer-To-Peer basis, where participants connect directly to each other rather than through a central server. Network participants can find each other via BitTorrent trackers or BitTorrent DHT, or through other participants in the network (peer exchange). The application is a free and open-source alternative to VPN Hamachi, written in Java (with some components in C) and distributed under the GNU LGPL 3.0 license. It supports running on Windows, GNU/Linux, and FreeBSD.
Changes in version 0.12:
- For peer-to-peer encryption, the AES-128-GCM algorithm is utilized. Due to the change in the encryption algorithm, the new version of the application will not be able to interact with previous versions. No changes in invitations are required.
- The ability to obtain IPv6 addresses from BitTorrent trackers has been added.
- Bouncy Castle has been updated to version jdk18on-1.79.
- The issue with loading the 32-bit library libTunTapWindows.dll has been partially fixed.
- The algorithm for finding the network device in Windows has been improved.
- The ability to manually remove (the key to connect to is specified, and iroh finds the associated host and establishes an encrypted connection using the QUIC protocol). Direct P2P connections are established whenever possible, but if not, it falls back to using relays, which are also employed for host discovery by keys. You can run your own relay or connect to public relays supported by the community. from the list of known IP addresses shown when right-clicking on an entry has been added.
- The internal behavior of the system tray module for Linux and FreeBSD has been redesigned.
- An OpenJDK loader has been added, which downloads the OpenJDK archive and installs it in the ‘jdk’ directory next to the program's executable file.
- The calendar now uses the system language when creating invitations, affecting the order of the days of the week.
- The default network settings applied when the BitTorrent tracker is not working have been updated.
