v0.63

Improved

• Firewall Map+: every connection is shown as belonging to whoever made it. The firewall's own traffic, such as a site-to-site VPN tunnel, and each device's traffic to the same address are now separate, so a device is no longer credited with the firewall's traffic. When several connections go to one address, the details panel lets you pick one.

Fixed

• Firewall Map+: IPv6 connections can be clicked and hovered again. Since 0.61 they started at the same place as IPv4 and were drawn exactly underneath the IPv4 lines.
• Firewall Map+: Investigate finds the registry record (RDAP) of IPv6 addresses again, and names the owner organization rather than a contact person.
• Firewall Map+: a collector left over from an older version is reported on the Status page as incompatible, with a request to reinstall, instead of failing over and over.

Dashboard Plus and VNStat Traffic+ are unchanged apart from the version.

Install or update: see the README's Install section. The packages are signed with the attached dashboard-plus-repository.pub.

v0.62

New

• CARP+ widget: your high-availability setup at a glance. See whether this firewall is master or backup, whether it hears the other firewall, whether connections and settings are syncing, the recent failovers, and every virtual IP.
• ZFS in System Information+: each pool's layout, health, errors, used space and last scrub.

Improved

• Lighter dashboard: Dashboard Plus now uses about a quarter of the CPU it did before, even with every widget open.
• One look for status: Interfaces+, Gateways+, Services+, CARP+ and Firewall Map+ share the same status badge, in your theme's colors.
• Interfaces+ has a cleaner layout: addresses, link speed, MAC address and status.
• Services+ and DNS Health+ line up better, and DNS Health+ fits long IPv6 addresses.
• Firewall Map+ shows a simpler loading screen.

Fixed

• Firewall Map+ widget no longer shows two loading spinners at once.

VNStat Traffic+ is unchanged apart from the version.

Install or update: see the README's Install section. The packages are signed with the attached dashboard-plus-repository.pub.

v0.61

Fixed

• Firewall Map+: investigating an IPv6 address works again.
• Firewall Map+: a firewall with both IPv4 and IPv6 no longer appears in two places on the map. A new IPv6 location setting lets you choose how IPv6 is placed.

v0.60

New

• Firewall Map+: a visual editor for ranking profiles, which decide what the map shows first.
• Firewall Map+: connections are labeled with the country blocklists (your GeoIP aliases) they belong to.
• Firewall Map+: choose how many connections the map draws, from 25 to 1000.

Improved

• Firewall Map+: the settings page is organized into tabs and supports OPNsense's advanced mode.
• Firewall Map+: the map and widget adjust how often they refresh.
• Firewall Map+: the background data collector was hardened after a security review.
• VNStat Traffic+ follows your theme's colors and its chart uses the full width.
• QuickAssist+: the live chart scrolls smoothly.

Fixed

• Firewall Map+: investigating an IPv6 address works again, and a dual-stack firewall appears in one place on the map (the republished 0.60 package).

Install or update: see the README's Install section. The packages are signed with the attached dashboard-plus-repository.pub.

v0.59

Improved

• Firewall Map+: shared incident snapshots keep all their details, but the captured connection list is shown only to users allowed to view firewall states (Diagnostics: Show States).

Install or update: see the README's Install section. The packages are signed with the attached dashboard-plus-repository.pub.

v0.58

Includes 0.57, which had no separate release.

New

• QuickAssist+ widget: a live view of Intel QuickAssist (QAT) hardware, with an activity graph, its health and what it accelerates.

Improved

• QuickAssist+: steadier numbers and more detail about the hardware's capabilities.
• Firewall Map+: devices on your network get names even when DHCP runs on another server, using the existing hostname lookup option. Names from DHCP still come first, and a name expires quickly when its address is given to another device.

Install or update: see the README's Install section. The packages are signed with the attached dashboard-plus-repository.pub.

v0.56

Improved

• Documentation: the README explains Firewall Map+ snapshots and covers all three packages.
• More automated testing for DNS Health+, Services+ and VNStat Traffic+.

No functional changes.

Install or update: see the README's Install section. The packages are signed with the attached dashboard-plus-repository.pub.

v0.55

New

• DNS Health+ widget: Unbound's status, live query rate, cache hit rate and DNS blocklist totals.
• Services+ widget: search and filter your services, and start, stop or restart them from the dashboard.
• Firewall Map+ snapshots: save the map with the camera button, browse saved snapshots on a timeline, and review what was connected at that moment.
• VNStat Traffic+: first release. It needs OPNsense's official os-vnstat plugin.

Improved

• Firewall Map+ works behind double NAT, such as a firewall behind an ISP router. You can place the firewall on the map yourself or let it find its location.

Install or update: see the README's Install section. The packages are signed with the attached dashboard-plus-repository.pub.

v0.53

Includes 0.51 and 0.52, which had no separate releases.

New

• Firewall Map+ has its own pages under Reporting ▸ Firewall Map: Map, Settings, Status (collector, geolocation database and feeds, with Update now) and Log File.
• System Information+: choose which sections to show, and drag them into any order.
• Interfaces+ and Interface Statistics+: choose how often they refresh.

Improved

• Lighter dashboard: widgets share their data, read slow-changing numbers once a minute, and pause while their browser tab is hidden.
• Firewall Map+ uses about a third of the CPU per update, and the Status page shows how long the last update took.
• Firewall Map+ maps only as many connections as the firewall's memory allows, and says so when it reaches that limit.
• Dashboard Plus follows your theme's colors.
• Firewall Map+ keeps reviewed and dismissed threats (up to 1,000).

Fixed

• Users with only the map permission now see live data, not just administrators.
• The map page shows only the actions you are allowed to use.
• A stuck geolocation download restarts by itself.
• A damaged geolocation or settings file no longer stops the map.
• Translated text shows correctly, without stray codes such as '.

Note for administrators

The Dashboard Plus permission now covers only the plugin's own data. Non-admin users also need the matching OPNsense permissions for widgets that show firewall, gateway or interface data.

Install or update: see the README's Install section. The packages are signed with the attached dashboard-plus-repository.pub.

0.50 (first beta)

First public beta for OPNsense 26.7 (amd64). Dashboard Plus and Firewall Map+ share one version number and are released together.

New

• Dashboard Plus: eight extended dashboard widgets: System Information+, Traffic Graph+, System Metrics+, Thermal Sensors+, Interface Statistics+, Gateways+, Interfaces+ and Firewall Logs+.
• Firewall Map+: live firewall traffic on a world map, with known-bad addresses flagged.
• Signed package repository: updates arrive with normal OPNsense firmware updates.
