Download IPCop 1.4.11

Version 1.4.11 of IPCop was released yesterday. IPCop is a Linux firewall distribution that mainly targets home users and the SoHo environment. For the installation, one can use an update that can be installed over any 1.4.x release or one can use an ISO file for a clean installation. After the update, the connection will have to be restarted for the new dnsmasq to take effect. It changelog of this release is too long to list here, as version 1.4.10 is already from November of last year. We therefore conclude with a small excerpt from the release notes:

IPCop v1.4.11 has been released with small changes in ids.cgi and vpnmain.cgi from 1.4.11rc1.

As usual, this version can be installed as an update from previous v1.4.10 versions or with a ready-to-go ISO for a fresh install. What is newer is that it could now be installed from usb key (or usb-zib) or from a pxe package.

To install the update, it is necessary that kernel 2.4.31 is running. Kernel 2.4.29 is suppressed during the update to let free space for a new kernel on next release. Reboot is necessary after the update to use a patched 2.4.31 kernel.[break]
