VyOS 1.4.3 release

daniil@sentrium.io (Daniil Baturin) — Thu, 17 Jul 2025 13:46:44 GMT

Hello, Community!

Customers and holders of contributor subscriptions can now download VyOS 1.4.3 release images and the corresponding source tarball.

This release includes fixes for CVE-2024-3596 (BlastRADIUS) — a vulnerability in the RADIUS PAM module that made it possible (even if not easy) for an attacker capable of active MitM to forge a server response and log in to a vulnerable system without valid credentials. It also fixes over seventy bugs and adds a few new features. Those features include container improvements such as options to add custom container image registries, set name servers for containers, and allow running containers in privileged mode; an option to import routes from a non-default table into the system RIB; an option to explicitly configure traffic selectors for VTI tunnels, and more.

Introducing VyOS Stream — a next step in the VyOS project evolution

daniil@sentrium.io (Daniil Baturin) — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 18:29:02 GMT

Hello, Community!

Historically, we had two types of branches — rolling (current) and LTS branches. When we started working on a new LTS release, its branch would be branched off directly from the current one, but it wouldn’t be frozen for experimental changes until very late in the development process. Only when the upcoming LTS release came to a full freeze would any new features be limited to occasional, knowingly safe backports.
However, that approach created significant problems, both technical and social. Now, we are going to present our solution to both.

Community, Contributors, User Base and LTS builds

Hello, Сommunity!

Recently, there have been a lot of questions about LTS release-building procedures. We are making changes in that area — not least due to specific patterns in user behavior, and now it's a good time to discuss that.

VyOS 1.4.0 (Sagitta) LTS release

daniil@sentrium.io (Daniil Baturin) — Thu, 22 Feb 2024 21:37:37 GMT

Hello, Community!

We are happy to announce that the VyOS 1.4.0-epa1 image is now available to customers and contributors (and everyone can build it from the sagitta branch of vyos-build, of course)! If you are new to VyOS, the "EPA" part means "early production access" — that's the final stage when the release is already used in production by a subset of users and on our proper infrastructure. We declare it as a new Long Term Support release. This release has been in development since early 2022 and offers a large number of new features, plus some redesigns and removals.

VyOS LTS Support Policy

yuriy@sentrium.io (Yuriy Andamasov) — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 05:20:54 GMT

Hello, Community!

Now that the 1.3.4 LTS release is over and the upcoming 1.4.0 release is on its path to the first early production access release, we'd like to clarify the support policy for our LTS releases to help support customers plan their updates. In short, the three latest minor versions in each LTS release line are supported unconditionally, but if your version is older, we will likely ask you to upgrade before we can take further steps to help you with your issues.

VyOS 1.3.3 LTS release

daniil@sentrium.io (Daniil Baturin) — Thu, 22 Jun 2023 16:33:28 GMT

Hello, Community!

VyOS 1.3.3 (Equuleus) LTS release is now available for download to subscribers and contributors. The interval between 1.3.2 (released in the past September) and 1.3.3 was unusually long. Still, it's finally out, with significant feature backports, multiple minor improvements, and of course, bug fixes — read on for details!

VyOS 1.2.9-S1 maintenance release

daniil@sentrium.io (Daniil Baturin) — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 20:54:08 GMT

Hello, community!

VyOS 1.2.9-S1 maintenance and security release is now available for download to everyone. We planned 1.2.9 to become the last 1.2.x release unless a remotely exploitable vulnerability was discovered. Thankfully, that hasn’t happened yet, but we found that Freexian extended LTS repositories had updates to the base packages that weren't in 1.2.9, including OpenSSL and sudo, so we decided to bring those updates to the community.

VyOS 1.3.2 LTS release

daniil@sentrium.io (Daniil Baturin) — Wed, 07 Sep 2022 15:34:23 GMT

Hello, community!

VyOS 1.3.2 LTS release is now available for subscribers to download and for everyone to build. It features over a dozen improvements and about fifty fixes for bugs and other issues. Among them is a command to remove DHCP leases, IP pools and multiplier options in BRAS features, and more. Read on for details!

VyOS 1.3.1 release

daniil@sentrium.io (Daniil Baturin) — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 19:48:22 GMT

Hello, Community

VyOS 1.3.1 release is now available:

subscribers (customers and contributors) can download binary images from the support portal, and everyone can build it from the source.

The driving force for this release is CVE-2022-0778, but it features a whole bunch of bug fixes and a few new features in addition to it.

VyOS 1.3.0 LTS release

daniil@sentrium.io (Daniil Baturin) — Tue, 21 Dec 2021 16:02:42 GMT

VyOS 1.3.0 (Equuleus) is now GA, and images are available to our customers and contributors.

After three years in development and an extended-release candidate/early production access period that lasted almost a year, it's finally time to call it the new LTS release.

VyOS 1.2.7 release

yuriy@sentrium.io (Yuriy Andamasov) — Wed, 24 Mar 2021 10:47:12 GMT

Hello!

VyOS 1.2.7 LTS release is now available to subscribers, and everyone can build an equivalent image from our repositories. This release took a while to complete, but it isn't a small maintenance release either: it includes multiple bug fixes (41 resolved issues in total) and some feature backports from the upcoming 1.3/equuleus branch. The highlights include a kernel mode L2TP implementation that makes L2TP 2x faster, a command to export a part of the configuration to JSON, Linux kernel updated to 4.19.176 and more. This is also the first release that officially supports container guest mode.

Images for labs, geeks and other non-production use

daniil@sentrium.io (Daniil Baturin) — Tue, 12 May 2020 16:33:34 GMT

You might have noticed Patreon and BuyMeACoffee donate buttons. We introduced them silently, and we are happy to see people donating just because they want to support the project. However, there are benefits for those who donates—you asked us for a new way to contribute and get access to LTS images, and now it's here.

VyOS 1.2.5 maintenance release

yuriy@sentrium.io (Yuriy Andamasov) — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 20:04:25 GMT

VyOS 1.2.5 maintenance release is finally available. Subscribers can download it from the support portal, and everyone can build it from the Crux branch and cloud images currently under marketplace reviews. It’s a rather big release, with 46 resolved issues.

As always, we are very grateful to everyone who sent us patches, reported bugs and supported us financially. Without you, the continued development of VyOS wouldn’t be possible! Thank you!

VyOS Project March 2020 Update

daniil@sentrium.io (Daniil Baturin) — Mon, 23 Mar 2020 04:45:45 GMT

As usual, we’ve been busy working on the 1.2.x LTS release and on the future 1.3.0 version. One important update is that VyOS 1.2.5-epa2 (early production access) image is now available to subscribers, and everyone can build it from the Crux branch. It includes latest stable release of the FreeRangeRouting protocol stack and multiple bug fixes. We are running that image on our own routers, and if no more serious issues are discovered, we’ll make the final 1.2.5 release and keep working on 1.2.6.

VyOS 1.2.4 release

yuriy@sentrium.io (Yuriy Andamasov) — Wed, 01 Jan 2020 22:56:33 GMT

Happy new year! I hope you all had a good rest while we preparing this release. It´s been a while from last 1.2.4 EPA but testing went pretty good. Thanks to all who reported issues and worked with us to solve them!

VyOS 1.2 (Crux) released

yuriy@sentrium.io (Yuriy Andamasov) — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 17:10:14 GMT

VyOS 1.2.0 LTS is here. We are now merging the final bug fixes and preparing the images and cloud listings. Once the images are ready, we’ll send the download links to all subscribers, expect this during next days.
