    Currently, I'm keeping 4.64 as a fallback. After 2/3 weeks of uninterrupted working time, i'll upgrade also the standby image.
    Hoping that soon the FragAttack fix will come...
  • Is there a link to download the firmware?  Cloud upgrade is failing checksum on my device.

    Hi @SunglassesGuy
    You can download the firmware from the Myzyxel, here it is the link. Then you can upgrade the firmware locally.

    Hello,
    why in secuReporter not add the alert when an admin user is created ?
    Simple add but important to monitoring many firewalls if someone create an admin user .

    Hi @CoreSG

    Thanks for your valuable suggestions. Currently we support Google Authentication for VPN access when the device is controlled by NCC. As well as ATP series in near future.
