Version 1.33 of ufdbGuard was released to introduce various new features and fixes.
New Functionality
- ufdbGenTable and ufdbguardd support URLs with UTF8 characters in the domain, path and parameters
- new keywords ipv6 and ipv6list can be used in source definitions,
- new keywords ipv4 and ipv4list replace the existing keywords ip and iplist but for backward compatibility the keywords ip and iplist remain functional,
- the certificate of sites used by the ucweb browser (which circumvents URL filters) are detected,
- ufdbgclient has a new -m parameter to use multithreading and improve performance considerably,
- the file ufdbguardd.pid is made world-readable,
- the new keyword ufdb-log-url-details controls if URLs in the log file have parameters or not.
Fixes for Issues
- for URL tables with over 2000 URLs and more than one URL with the same (sub)domain, ufdbGenTable may produce an incorrect URL table,
- on the ARM platform generated URL tables were corrupt,
- sometimes ufdbguardd had false positives with Tor proxy detection on port 443,
- failed probes for :443 were not properly cached and resulted in too many probes for IP,
- when reverse IP lookups are used, the URL category was not logged correctly,
- implicitly allowed URLs were logged with category "any" instead of the correct category ID,
- ufdbGenTable uses less memory,
- the feature "block-bumped-connect on" never blocked a CONNECT request.
New URL categories
The URL database has the following new URL categories:
- webradio
- webtv
- searchengine
- youtube
- vimeo
