[Beta 2.0.0]: "First Impressions"

Took a wild shot with this new release as the previous one was practically unusable on my tower consistently with build — decided to go with a full and clean install.

You have defaulted to the good old redistributable installer . . . . . . nice — the online installers were such a PITA. :thumbsup :thumbsup

The protocol has been changed from UDP to TCP. :thumbsup

The remote port has been changed from 8080 to 1080. :|

The whole apparatus being minimalist — notwithstanding, the internet speed displays encouraging speeds with a very reduced hit. :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

The naming of the HideAway directory is not intuitive:—
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Firetrust\HideAway2.0 :thumbsdown :thumbsdown
Looking forward to the introduction of the bells and whistles — bring it on.

Bottom line: HideAway (for me) has become usable, once again. :mrgreen:

Great, it's definitely seeming to integrate better, once we have the actual rules in place it will be nicer to test with.

Went for the beta since the various versions of 1.4 now seem to crash after a few minutes. Seems a lot more stable. Any idea when it will be formally released.

No I've got no definitive timeline just yet. We did just post an updated 1.4 that may be more stable too http://forum.firetrust.com/viewtopic.ph ... 51#p108651

Thanks,

but as with the other versions a pop up now appears during install asking to "insert the disc labelled Hideaway Lightweight Filter into drive D:"
I point it to the driver store on C: and it seems to accept it.

It also crashed after a couple of minutes. I've tried a complete uninstall and re install to no effect ....

Mine is shouting for the user Key Gang. Chris has been advised and hopefully will be sorted soon.

Bugger.
We've got some work to do still on some TCP aspects of the new HideAway, then we'll be adding encryption and releasing another build. Time wise I wasn't given any details, but hopefully not too far off.

Rustic, just to clarify the crash was with the updated version you pointed me to not the v2 beta.

V2 beta seems to hang on in there! :-)

For the past couple of days of trying the beta, I have not been able to get through the system.

Tried several different servers but when I try GRC to check if shields are up I get a secure connection failed message. (screen grab attached)

Showing the page above again for the past couple of days on all servers in the list. (on two machines)
Tried setting up different DNS to no avail.

Secure connection failed

Is this working for anyone?

Sorry about this, we don't currently have notifications or auto-restart on these but I've restarted them now so they're working again. Also, we'll have a new beta version out shortly

Here's a new version

http://cdn.firetrust.com/downloads/hide ... 3Setup.exe

Old version won't work anymore cos of new server software. All locations working.

This vesion should be waaaay faster :) Seeing 2-3x increase on downloads and upto 10x on uploads. (New Zealand --> LA on 100/20mbit fibre connection)

UDP is next to do, then improvements to the client as this version only includes improvements to the server. We should see more improvements with a new client.

Testing with a 500m/b connection, speeds were a bit slower but that should be resolved with new client code when it comes.
