In the newly released Turris OS 5.2 version, you can find Overview after logging in to web interface reForis. It provides you easily recognized status about the activated services for automatic updates, data collection, dynamic firewall, test for Internet connectivity, speed test using Netmetr.cz, and added list of OpenVPN clients to any OpenVPN servers. Based on the community feedback, we prepared for you the requested missing features in reForis. Since this release, you can see the Storage tab, the possibility of doing a factory reset from the UI and adding a registration token to use Honeypot as a Service. Some of these features were missing from an old web interface or fur previous major version of Turris OS.

More details can be found on the blog of CZ.NIC employees.

Turris OS 5.1 is based on top of OpenWrt 19.07 with our feed and few patches. It supports Turris Omnia, Turris MOX and Turris Shield. There is also an experimental support for Turris 1.x routers.

This release contains new configuration frontend named reForis and several tabs in Foris were deprecated in favor of reForis. In reForis you can find more detailed package selection as well as basic integration of Turris Sentinel.

New features:

• Introduced new data collection system Sentinel
• reForis (future default web interface)
  • Now installed by default
  • Added NetMetr, OpenVPN client and remote devices plugins
• Package lists
  • Expanded with labels and additional options
  • Added option to select alternative WiFi drivers
• Nextcloud updated to version 18

We have released a new version of Turris OS – 5.0, which is based on the Linux distribution OpenWrt 19.07.3. The latest release of the operating system provides basic support for the WPA3 standard, which is, however, not set by default and requires the installation of additional packages. The big news is the gradual redesign of the Foris website (reForis). Currently, it is possible to set the snaphost integration in the graphical interface or redirection to a custom DNS server, which we have not set either.

With the release of Turris OS 5.0, we also prepared an experimental guide for migration from Turris OS 3.x. You can find the specific instructions in the manual available in our documentation.

On 5th of October on biggest Czech open source conference, we released an important milestone in our Turris OS development – Turris OS 4.0. This release based on OpenWrt 18.06 spent quite some time in various forms of testing. It completely changes how we make our releases and we are now much closer to the upstream then we’ve ever been. Everything had to be rebuilt from scratch so it was a huge task to move away from the old way of doing stuff and we took the opportunity to get rid of some of the skeletons in our closets.

Because of that, some of the features available in 3.x might still not present in 4.0. But because 4.0 is the new main development branch, it also has some features not present in 3.x like Storage plugin with support for multiple drives and Nextcloud.

It is the system that is already available on Turris MOX and will be available on newly sold Turris Omnia as well. We are still working on automatic migration path from Turris OS 3.x, but we already have a pretty easy way how to reflash your router manually to Turris OS 4.0.

List of news:

• Simple dashboard of available web applications (WebApps)
• New Foris guide for initial setup of a router
• First components of new system for network attacks detection Turris Sentinel
• Turris 1.x factory image update
• Experimental support for Samba version 4
• Complete migration of Foris to Python 3
• Other packages update

We are coming to you with great news about the just-released Turris OS 3.10, which is available as part of the automatic updates of Turris 1.x and Turris Omnia routers.

Cloud Backups – keep your configuration safe!

A second exciting new feature is the option to easily save your router’s configuration to our servers. Sure, you could also make a local backup using Schnapps, but thanks to Cloud backups you can now safely back up to our servers and restore any time you need to without having to search your computer for configuration files. As with Pakon, you can install and start using Cloud Backups inside the Foris user interface. Everything is, of course, encrypted and we cannot access your data – an emphasis on your privacy is our unshakable habit. You just need to be careful about one thing and that is not to forget the password. Without it, not even you will be able to access your backups.

Storage plugin - set a safe storage space with just one click!

And finally, our third novelty is the Storage plugin. This service takes care of moving data from the eMMC flash memory, which is susceptible to frequent writing and …

Turris OS 3.8 is here at last! It took us slightly longer to release it, but we worked hard on it and we think the wait was worth it, because 3.8 has lots of new cool features. Many thanks go to our devoted community for helping us test all the new functions – thanks for being with us!

This time the main changes and improvements include:

• Foris now gives you the option to set bandwidth limits for the Guest network.

• Userlists changes include trimmed down dependencies.

• Suricata has been updated to a new version with more modular configuration and helper packages.

• Php7 is now supported!

• …
