Update of Strongswan server software with extra capabilities
Monday morning several employees of FNWI were affected by a fault within the RU Exchange design whereby they could not send their mail to recipients outside of the RU Exchange (i.e. @science.ru.nl, @cs.ru.nl or elsewhere). ISC had added two additional servers to the RU Exchange service the week before, which were not yet allowed to drop their outgoing mail on designated servers for that purpose. Not all FNWI employees using RU Exchange were affected, however, since four out of six servers were still functioning properly and employees using e.g. Thunderbird use servers outside of the RU Exchange for sending their mails.

The new RU Fortigate firewall, that is in place since December 13, manages fragmented IP packets inconsistently. Depending on the VPN client and its settings, this can cause problems for VPN users. The ISC found a solution for the cenral RU VPN in changing the configuration of the RU VPN as of 2016-12-19 15:50 hours. While waiting for the final solution, a temporary workaround has been used in the Fortigate firewall on April 19, which makes the problem disappear.
