KeeneticOS 4.2

What’s new?

Welcome to KeeneticOS version 4.2! As usual, we have several performance improvements and bug fixes, but our main focus for this update is to introduce the new Web Interface and further improve support for the IPv6 protocol in various KeeneticOS services.

The new Web Interface has a refreshed look, with light and dark themes to choose from, and carefully selected usability enhancements. We've moved to an updated framework that supports modern security enhancements.
It is now possible to update KeeneticOS on all devices in the Wi-Fi system with a single click. In addition, the Autoupdate function automatically manages the updates of the connected extenders according to the schedule of the main router.
Clients connecting to the Home segment of the network are now automatically registered by default, improving security and ease of management.
The new Segment Default Policy option improves Internet access management for network clients. By default, a registered client will follow the connection policy associated with the network segment it is connecting to. For example, you can set up a separate Wi-Fi network at home with the same name as your office network and route its traffic to a VPN connection to your office. Then, when working from home, simply switch to the office Wi-Fi network to teleport immediately.
The new OpenConnect VPN server and client are now available. Connect networks or access your network remotely using free applications available for Android or iOS.

We value your support and participation in our community. Your valuable feedback helps us to continually improve Keenetic. If you have any questions, want to discuss the beta, report issues, or contact our development team, please visit our forum. Thank you for choosing Keenetic!
