Release Notes v3.4.3

Release Date: March, 2024

Important: If your current Conductor is v3.4.2, then you cannot install Conductor v3.4.3 firmware directly from the Conductor Settings page. To resolve this issue, download and install the hotfix hf-AWDEV-1664, then install v3.4.3 from the Conductor Settings page. Alternatively, download Conductor firmware from 3.4.3 firmware and software and install manually. If your current Conductor is v3.4.1 or earlier, you can install v3.4.3 directly from the Conductor Settings page without the hotfix.

If you fix a conflict in a smart device group by changing the IP of one of the conflicted devices, sometimes the change in IP does not result in the device being removed from the group and the change is not propagated to the Airwall Gateway.

Workaround – Fully remove the device from the smart device group and then add it back again.
DEV-16503 macOS Airwall Agent Deleting a profile does not immediately delete the associated private key.

Workaround - After deleting a profile, switch to a different profile before creating a new profile. If you have already created the new profile, delete it, switch, and then re-create it.
DEV-16431 Conductor When specifying a port mirror destination IP address, ensure that it doesn't conflict with any of the Airwall Gateway's local device IPs
DEV-16397 Conductor If you change the LSI prefix and have port mirroring configured, you need to either reboot the Conductor, or go to Settings > Diagnostics and select Restart metadata cache to update the LSI prefix.
DEV-16068 Amazon Web Services Conductor To enable enhanced networking for a cloud Amazon Web Services Airwall Gateway or Conductor, use the custom images instead of the marketplace image.
DEV-16067 Cloud, Conductor, Airwall Gateways If you are adding a new interface to an existing cloud Airwall Gateway, you must set the source and destination check to false (see your cloud provider for the terminology they use for source and destination checks).
DEV-16059 Airwall Gateways When HA-pairing two Airwall Gateways that do not have the HA link plugged in correctly, the Conductor displays no actionable error message and the HA setup never completes.
DEV-15982 Conductor Traffic stats reporting graphs generally show a smooth curve between data points. However, over time the graph can show up with sharper angles. The data is still correct, but this is a known issue with the graphing library used by the Conductor.
DEV-15945 Airwall Gateways If you configure port mirroring using a remote destination local device, GRE/ERSPAN traffic from remote Airwall Gateways will arrive with a source IP in the LSI prefix (defaults to 1.0.0.0/8).
DEV-15923 Airwall Gateways When you run Check secure tunnels on a v3.0 Airwall Gateway, the check falsely reports a bad tunnel status for any peer airwall running a firmware version that is v2.2.8 or lower.
DEV-15808 Google Cloud Airwall Gateways Google Cloud Airwall Gateways with the same VM name have the same device serial number, which can result in a failure when you make a license request in the Conductor.

Workaround – In Google Cloud, use unique deployment names (VM names) for Airwall Gateways.
DEV-15791 Airwall Gateway On the Airwall Gateway 100, Port 2 might be inactive after a factory-reset.

Workaround - After a factory reset, manually reboot the Airwall Gateway 100.

Workaround - Establish the tunnel FROM the mobile Airwall Agent.
DEV-15572 Airwall Gateways If you do not specify a gateway in the DHCP server configuration, the DHCP client cannot configure a default gateway.

Workaround – Unless you want to configure a single isolated subnet, always specify a gateway. For example, a subnet for networked PDUs that should not have any outside connectivity aside from remote access through an Airwall Gateway, and used in conjunction with SNAT over the overlay port group. See DHCP server is not serving as a gateway
DEV-15489 Windows Airwall Agent Windows 7 sends an extra Windows system popup when the Windows Airwall Agent UserAuth prompt appears. You can safely ignore this popup.
DEV-15357 macOS Airwall Agent If you update the macOS Airwall Agent to a release later than v2.2.11 on macOS Mojave using a Conductor-based update package, it may not report the updated version to the Conductor.

Workaround - Restart the Airwall Agent or reapply the update.
DEV-15302 macOS Airwall Agent The profile for a macOS Airwall Agent does not work correctly when restored to a new computer using Time Machine.

Workaround - Create a new profile on the Airwall Agent, and then on the Conductor, replace the old profile with the new one.
DEV-15219 Cellular 110g Airwall Gateways The Airwall Gateway 110g does not work on the Bell Mobility (Canada) cellular provider because they require the use of a http/https proxy.
DEV-15031 Airwall Gateways Remote syslog over TLS does not work when using keys stored in TPM.
DEV-14860 Conductor Airwall Gateways on older firmware (pre v2.2.0) may send passively-discovered device events to the Conductor even when the feature is off.

DEV-14736 Cellular Airwall Gateways Cellular details may display as "unavailable" on the first boot after you update anAirwall Gateway. The cellular connections are not affected.

Workaround – Reboot the Airwall Gateway again to correctly display the cellular details.
DEV-14726 Conductor If you are viewing an Android Airwall Agent Ports tab and the Airwall Agent changes how it is connected to the Conductor (for example, from WiFi to cellular), the display does not update correctly.

Workaround – Refresh the page.
DEV-14610 Conductor After changing the Reporting traffic stats reporting time, the CPU graph does not display.

Workaround – Refresh your browser page.
DEV-14584 Cellular Airwall Gateways Hot-swapping the SIM on an Airwall Gateway 110 with firmware version v2.2.11 may not work.

DEV-14015 OpenHIP If an Airwall Relay is also used as a bypass gateway, Airwall Edge Services behind the relay are not able to use that relay.

Workaround – Deploy multiple relays so at least one relay is usable by each pair of Airwall Edge Services that need to communicate.
DEV-13775 Azure Cloud Airwall Gateways The Conductor might rarely give a "Net::ReadTimeout" error when you try to deploy an Azure Airwall Gateway 300v or server. This error does not indicate that the deployment has failed. If you get this error message, go to Azure portal and check the actual deployment result.
DEV-13650 Conductor SoIP device activity is not being reported on an Airwall Gateway Local Devices tab.
DEV-13640 Conductor Airwall Relay diagnostics do not work on a Standby Conductor.
DEV-13633 Conductor A standby Conductor shows available firmware downloads, but they cannot be downloaded.

DEV-13531 Cloud Conductor Automatically creating Cloud HA Conductors only works if you use the same cloud provider for both active and standby Conductors. For example, AWS HA Active and AWS HA Standby.

Workaround – You can manually set up different cloud providers as HA pair Conductors.
DEV-13474 Airwall Gateways If you configure multiple overlay port groups with the same overlay IP subnet (same or different IP addresses) and then create a local device equal to the entire subnet with port affinity set, it may not lead to the expected result.
DEV-13331 Alibaba Cloud Airwall Gateways The Alibaba Cloud Conductor system time is incorrect.

Workaround – Change the Conductor system time to browser time: In Conductor Settings, under System time, select Edit Settings, select Set browser time, and then select Update Settings.
DEV-13195 Conductor, Airwall Gateways When you upgrade a Cellular Airwall Gateway-150 from 2.2.3 to 2.2.5, the cellular details all become "Unavailable."

Workaround – Reboot and the details return.
DEV-12852 Windows Airwall Agent Windows by default does not allow multiple 'active' interfaces. It prefers ethernet over cellular whenever possible.
