Orbis v1.34.0

Added

  • Smart unblock. Settings, Assistant, TypeSafe: "Suggest unblocks for blocks that break things".
    Every hour TypeSafe is asked what the names your devices keep getting refused are for. A
    push-notification, sign-in, app, update or content host that only one to three ad lists block is
    probably collateral damage from an aggressive list, and becomes an allow suggestion on the
    Assistant page. Turn on "Unblock the clearest ones automatically" and push, sign-in, app and
    update hosts blocked by one or two lists are allowed at once: at most three a day, each announced
    as an event, undoable from the Assistant page (an undone name is never unblocked automatically
    again), and withdrawn after a week unless something still uses it. Names on malware or DNS-bypass
    lists, Orbis's own policy blocks and your own blocks are never touched.
  • TypeSafe triages anomaly alerts. With TypeSafe on and AI triage enabled, each finding is
    judged on its own against the device and the destination's name, port, country and network
    operator. One with an ordinary explanation (update checks, sync, push, a tunnel you run,
    peer-to-peer) is lowered to notice or info; one with none keeps the detector's severity. It
    never raises a finding.
  • Unknown devices get a type. Virtual machines and containers (Proxmox, VMware, Xen and
    Parallels network cards) are recognised as servers. With "Identify unknown devices" on,
    TypeSafe names the rest from their hostname, vendor and the names they look up most: a device
    resolving Samsung TV services is a TV, one calling a robot-vacuum API is an appliance. A
    classification is only applied when TypeSafe is at least 60% sure, and never replaces one the
    built-in rules made.

Fixed

  • No more "regular check-in" alerts for traffic inside your own network. The beaconing
    detector flagged devices talking to this node, the router, the broadcast address and tailnet
    peers; on one home network that was 85 of 752 alerts in a week. Only destinations out on the
    internet are considered now.
  • A DHCP lease arriving while a device was being read could crash the daemon. Every copy of
    a device the registry handed out shared its details map with the live record, which a new
    lease writes to. Copies now own their details.
