What's new in Your Freedom 20180405-01

May 6, 2018
  • (Client) 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.

New in Your Freedom 20160121-01 (Jan 29, 2016)

New in Your Freedom 20140225-01 (Mar 26, 2014)

  • (Client) Fixed a bug in UDP mode that would cause endless source port changes if you click on "restart". 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).
