Hello everyone,
 
Web Safety 9.4 - web filter and secure web gateway for Linux is now released. The following changes are included into this version:

• Added support for Squid 6.13 just as in Debian Testing.
• Fixed error with sometimes hanging connections when eCAP Anti-Virus is enabled.
• Added support for third party block lists.
• Added support for custom application lists which can be used in Global Exclusions and Application Blocking rules in polices.
• Added domain regular expression matching rule to Advanced ACLs.
• Added blocking by domain name regular expression to policy rules.
• Added management of HTTP options to Squid settings.
• Fixed non working per policy settings of Safe Browsing module (issue first appeared in version 9.2).

Please note, license key scheme updated to version 6, old license keys version 5 will stop working on 30 October 2027, it is advisable to start phasing out old existing installations of Web Safety and move to version 9.4+ with license scheme valid till 24 January 2035. You can contact sup...@diladele.com to convert your existing license key to the new scheme.

The virtual appliance images can be downloaded from here:

• for VMware ESXi/vSphere

• for Microsoft Hyper-V

• for Proxmox VE

Upgrade steps required are described in the Admin Guide, but ideally you would just deploy a new virtual appliance and import settings from the old one.

As always list of open issues is available on GitHub. Please do not hesitate to add more if something is missing or needs to be improved.

Hope you will find this useful.
 
Best regards,
Rafael
