Colitu Windows v2.5.4
What changed in this release
v2.5.4 Security and reliability update
This release has no new features; it fixes Kill switch, sign-in/out, and proxy mode issues, and improves security.
Bug fixes
- Kill switch now works from the first second of connecting in all-traffic mode.
- While Kill switch is on, programs on your computer can no longer be reached from the internet with your real address.
- Signing out after a failed reconnect no longer leaves your internet blocked.
- An expired plan no longer keeps the internet closed.
- Kill switch also works when two Windows users run Colitu at the same time.
- A session renewed while you sign out no longer comes back or wipes a new sign-in.
- A blocked or broken page from a network in between no longer signs you out.
- Signing out now removes saved connection settings, imported server settings, and support attachments you opened.
- The e-mail confirmation screen no longer sends you back to sign-in after a temporary server error.
- When a standard Windows account starts Colitu with an administrator's password, it switches to all-traffic mode instead of proxy mode and shows a message.
Performance improvements
- Colitu's program and VPN engine files can no longer be replaced by an ordinary user.
- The app runs on a newer runtime with the latest security fixes.
- Updates are checked more strictly before they are installed.
- Support attachments are saved more safely, and file types that could run a program are never opened directly.
- Diagnostic reports sent to support hide more personal data: e-mail addresses, keys, and passwords inside links.
- The installer only closes Colitu once you click Install, so cancelling the setup keeps your connection.
- "Check for updates" now says when it could not check instead of claiming you are up to date; refreshing the plan says when the server could not be reached.
- Pasting the password reset code works with spaces (for example "123 456").
- Large images in support chats no longer freeze the window, and the chat no longer refreshes in the background while Colitu is hidden in the tray.
- After a rare error at start-up the app no longer stays on the loading screen; it shows the sign-in screen instead.
