Desktop client v2.7: Public IPv4 WireGuard, bug fixes and improvements

Maximilian Holm, about Products & features
The focus of this version has been to implement Public IPv4 with WireGuard. When connecting with Public IPv4 using WireGuard in this version, the WireGuard key the client uses will be replaced with one for Public IPv4 and vice-versa.

Do note that since only one client can be connected with Public IPv4 at a time, any other devices that might be configured with Public IPv4 will lose their configuration if connected this way.

To have Public IPv4 as an option for WireGuard in the client, Public IPv4 need to be configured to use WireGuard through our website.


List of changes in v2.7

    • New: Added Public IPv4 as an add-on for WireGuard connections
    • Bug fix: Fixed an issue where WireGuard connections would time out
    • Bug fix: Fixed an issue where the client would only display a transparent window on Windows 11
    • Bug fix: The client will no longer try to register a new key even when the number of registered keys is full
    • Bug fix: The client will no longer send multiple WireGuard key registrations to the website when a subscription has expired
    • Improvement: Clarified the message that is displayed when the client is unable to communicate with the website
    • Improvement: Protocol name (TCP or UDP) will now be displayed for OpenVPN connections
    • Improvement: The client will now periodically check for new versions rather than only when launched
    • Improvement: If no servers are available in a country due to maintenance, the entire region will be disabled in the client rather than just the individual servers
