The release of Lanemu P2P VPN 0.11.6 has taken place — a decentralized virtual private network that operates on a Peer-To-Peer principle, wherein participants connect directly to each other rather than through a central server. Network members can discover each other via a BitTorrent tracker or BitTorrent DHT, or through other network participants (peer exchange). The application is a free and open-source alternative to VPN Hamachi, written in Java (with some components in C) and licensed under GNU LGPL 3.0.
Changes in versions 0.11.5 and 0.11.6:
- Initial support for running the application on FreeBSD has been added. To achieve feature parity with the tap driver, it may be necessary to build the kernel with experimental patches.
- The ability to use the newer tap driver 'Windows TAP adapter v9' has been added. To utilize it, the option must be enabled in the Windows registry.
- Improved the functionality of the native tray library for Linux/FreeBSD.
- The default send buffer size has been increased from 10 to 100 packets.
- The code for saving invitations to a file has been improved.
- The environment variable MAKEROOT_BIN has been implemented to specify the privilege escalation tool (e.g., sudo or pkexec).
- The handlePeers code in DHT has been improved along with other enhancements in the DHT implementation.
- A bug in the Connector class has been fixed, which caused a reconnection to an already connected peer every 5 minutes.
- Updated the WaifUPnP library to a fixed version that sets the correct application name and applies the patch.
