Looks like firewall firmware v22 at the earliest from what I can tell. Technically you can currently jump through some hoops using Azure ADDS and possibly a virtual server, but native support would be much better.

Hi Quallensaft, thanks for asking! I have two updates for you on coming fixes.

1) I The IPv6 issue you referenced didn't make it into this set of releases but IS almost ready for release. I expect it to be included in the next client update.
2) I hope it's noticeable that there's been an increase in client releases recently. Development on the client has ramped up a bit, and you should expect to see issues fixed much faster, but also look out for some new features on EntraID support, SSL VPN for MacOS, and others in coming months.

When will bugs fixed that are known for years?

-> SSL VPN with OTP code when provisioning -> connect is direct connecting with the OTP code already used for provisioning login -> error because OTP code can not used 2x

-> NCL-1845?
