Implemented brute-force protection for remote access to the device via the KeenDNS domain name in the Cloud access mode. [NDM-1804]
The KeeneticOS update process is optimized to run in the background to minimize system downtime. Keenetic has dual flash memory with active and backup KeeneticOS images to ensure fail-free automatic upgrades. When a new version of the operating system is released, the device will download, store and check the integrity of the software image in the backup partition first, without interrupting the main operation. Then the Keenetic device reboots, running the updated KeeneticOS version. Internet access will be briefly interrupted only during the device reboot. [NDM-1861]
The hostname value is added to the Syslog message's payload when sending records to a server to simplify log analysis from multiple Keenetic devices. [NDM-1872]
Fixed

Improved security: After changing user credentials, KeeneticOS cleans up active management sessions via the Web Interface and the Keenetic mobile application. [NDM-1860]
Fixed
Disabled requests from the Extenders to the Mesh Wi‑Fi Controller DNS proxy in additional segments. The Extenders now use Home segment only for system DNS requests. [NDM-976]
The availability checking for the SafeDNS® service now operates correctly when no additional DNS servers are configured. [NDM-1761]
The IKEv2 VPN tunnel now operates properly as a primary Internet connection along with the logic of automatic IKEv2 tunnel source selection. [NDM-1855]
KeeneticOS 3.7 Beta 2
02/09/2021
Improved
When a wired Ethernet backhaul link is used to attach a Wi‑Fi System Extender to a Wi‑Fi System Controller, setting up custom Wi‑Fi channels on the Extender is now possible. Setting non-overlapping Wi‑Fi channels on different Wi‑Fi System nodes will maximize wireless clients' performance. If a wired Ethernet backhaul link disconnects, the Extender will automatically switch to a Mesh wireless backhaul link to resume operation. In this case, depending on the Mesh wireless backhaul interface, the corresponding Wi‑Fi channel on the Extender will follow the backhaul link. Once a wired Ethernet backhaul link is restored, the Extender will automatically use wired backhaul and preset Wi‑Fi channels. [NDM-1801]
Fixed
The Wi‑Fi roaming setting synchronization between the Wi‑Fi System Controller and Extenders now operates properly. [NDM-1668]
KeeneticOS 3.7 Beta 1
12/08/2021
New
The Traffic classification engine (NTCE) now offers prioritization for a comprehensive set of application categories via the service classes. The new CLI commands are listed below. [NDM-1683]
ntce qos priority {category} {priority}— assign certain priority for certain categoriesntce qos enable— enable QoS processing for thentce(network traffic classification engine)
The Traffic classification engine and IntelliQoS system component is replaced by the Traffic classification engine system component of the KeeneticOS. It implements the detection and classification of applications and protocols.
Categories and Applications diagrams appeared in the Host traffic monitor menu of the Web Interface. Also, a new item, Application Traffic Analyzer, appeared in the Status section. Currently, new sections become visible after the component is installed and the service is enabled via the
service ntceCLI command. The component operates autonomously and does not depend on any external services. [NDMS-1476, NDW-2109]
The KeeneticOS build system is now available on GitHub. You can use the Keenetic Software Development Kit (SDK) to build a customized Keenetic firmware image with your own services and scripts. [NDMS-1398]
Improved

ICMP - Host unreachablereplaces theDROPaction for the internal firewall rule of KeeneticOS when the user's device is accessing a blocked DNS over HTTPS (DoH) / DNS over TLS (DoT) DNS server. This change helps to speed up fallback to allowed DoT/DoH DNS servers on the Keenetic device. [NDMS-1470]It is now possible to use
%and^characters in the Username field of a DDNS profile. [NDMS-1255]
The KeenDNS settings now allow specifying an IP address and FQDN as the HTTP proxy destination address in the Access to web applications running on your network section of the Domain name page. [NDW-2201]
Removed Wi‑Fi extenders from the list of devices that can be assigned a DNS filtering policy profile on the Internet safety page. [NDW-2108]
The firmware image build with the Keenetic SDK is now compatible with the Keenetic Recovery Utility for Windows OS. You can use this utility to upload a firmware image to your Keenetic device. [NDMS-1530]
Implemented a new smart queue management algorithm — NDM Fast Queue (NFQ). NFQ is CAKE-based, and optimized for speeds above 24 Mbit/s. When you limit the Internet connection speed for a host or network segment at a rate above 24 Mbit/s, the NFQ algorithm performs shaping. For rates below 24 Mbit/s, the CAKE algorithm does the job. [NDMS-1247]
DHCP server options 121 and 249 now allow configuration of routes with destination
0.0.0.0/0. [NDMS-1222]The CLI command for adjusting the TTL value of incoming IP packets has a new syntax: [NDMS-1419]
