What's new in Your Freedom 20190221-01

Feb 21, 2019
  • Backport from Android. Mostly new domains.

New in Your Freedom 20190109-01 (Feb 21, 2019)

  • Fixed OpenVPN UDP mode in DNS tunnel mode.
  • Updated built-in server data.

New in Your Freedom 20181028-01 (Oct 30, 2018)

  • Backport from Android version.

New in Your Freedom 20180405-01 (Apr 5, 2018)

  • Fixed a bug that would break local authentication for both SOCKS and HTTP proxy port. For HTTP proxy port, the YF client incorrectly shut down the connection if no authentication was received in the first request; this is fixed. However, that wasn't the main issue. The main problem is a bug in the java standard library that we have reported to Oracle years ago, and it is still not fixed. We should have known!

New in Your Freedom 20180121-01 (Jan 22, 2018)

  • Better, more memory friendly implementation of DNS encoding.

New in Your Freedom 20171221-01 (Dec 22, 2017)

If you have one of these, next time you run the client a scaling factor will be selected for you. If you don't like it, change it in the config (General Settings).

New in Your Freedom 20151111-01 (Nov 19, 2015)

If that actually made your connection work better, configure "UDP srcport change rate" instead (try for example 10 or 5, but you may go down to 1 if you have to, and this will imitate the buggy behavior).

New in Your Freedom 20140130-01 (Mar 26, 2014)
