Why was the SSL VPN client updated, but nothing mentioned in the release notes about it?

    From the Fireware v2026.1 Release Notes

    . This release updates the Mobile VPN with SSL Client for Windows. The new client version resolves a number of issues. [FBX-30629]

    .This release resolves an issue that caused the Mobile VPN with SSL update process to fail in some scenarios when the Patch Management module attempted to update an active Mobile VPN with SSL client. [FBX-30549]

    Thanks @Bruce_Briggs
    Where did you find that? I only see Fireware 12.11.7 release notes, which doesn't have SSL VPN included (normally does)

    Select Firebox Devices, then Firebox v2026.1

    Hello, about the 12.11.7 OS update, is the SSL Client 12.11.5 retro compatible? Asking cause I have like 150 clients to update if its a nono connexion once the OS update's done. Cant find the answer in the release note....

    Thanx,

    Danny

    There is this in the Fireware v12.11.7 Release Notes.

    I expect that the SSL Client v12.11.5 still works, but your users may be affected by the items which are fixed in the new version.

    has Mobile VPN with SSL version 2026.1 replaced version 12.11.5?

  • Bruce_BriggsBruce_Briggs

    I have a T125W, which is running 2026.1.1
    I have SSLVPN v12.11.5 installed.
    When running SSLVPN, it did not try to auto upgrade to 2026.1.
    SSLVPN v12.11.5 still works for v2026.1

    For older firewall models, such as a T35, that can only run V12.x versions of Fireware, SSLVPN 2026.1 is listed as the current version of SSLVPN.

    Looks to me that SSLVPN 2026.1 is replacing v12.11.5.

    No worries, I tested VPN with SSL 2026.1 on my M270/M570s (version 12.11.5) and works fine
