Peter Müller announced today the release and general availability of IPFire 2.27 Core Update 168 as the latest stable version of this hardened open-source Linux firewall distribution targeted at routers and firewalls.

IPFire 2.27 Core Update 168 is here one and a half months after the Core Update 167 release to further improve the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) of the Linux firewall distro by allowing users to individually enable the monitoring mode for each ruleset provider, making parsing and restructuring of changed or updated rulesets faster, as well as support for the downloader to automatically check if a ruleset was updated or not on its providers’ server.
