LogonBox VPN 2.4.9 – Now Available

Windows two-factor authentication

Introduction

LogonBox is pleased to announce the immediate availability of LogonBox VPN 2.4.9.

This release includes another round of performance improvements to some database calls as well as some changes to SSL Certificate imports.

Performance improvements

A full sync/reconcile can take a long time if you’re removing a set of users from the sync when there are already a large number of users.
With these improvements, this particular reconcile is now about 3 times faster.

Replacing existing SSL Certificate

Previously, if you wanted to replace your existing SSL certificate, you needed to click the appropriate action next to the existing certificate.
This was often misunderstood, therefore if you click one of the big green buttons on the SSL Certificates page, in the popup that appears there is now a new option.

You can opt here to replace the existing certificate, or don’t replace and create this as an additional certificate.

 

Upgrade Instructions

You can directly upgrade from the web UI or the operating system.

To upgrade from the web UI, log on to your admin account, navigate to Server Status from the main dashboard, and click Update. If you have Updates, Features & Licensing->Update Prompt turned on, you may also be prompted automatically upon login.

 

To upgrade from the operating system:

On Windows – download the new installer, run the installer, and follow the prompts.

 

On a LogonBox VM – from a shell, type in:

apt update
apt upgrade

 

If you are still running a version before 2.3, you will need to perform some extra steps from the OS, as detailed here:

Our support team will upgrade Cloud customers over the coming week.
