Ozark-Connect/NetworkOptimizer v1.11.6 on GitHub

Fixes and enhancements for the security audit and alerts system. See v1.11.0 release notes for what's new in v1.11.

Device Fingerprint

Media and Gaming network types - New purpose types for entertainment networks (streaming, theater, A/V) and game console networks. Previously, Media auto-classified as IoT and Gaming as Home, which caused false-positive isolation findings when intentional allow rules existed. Trust hierarchy: Guest can access Media but not Trusted/IoT networks; Gaming has Home-level trust so consoles get UPnP access.
Correct device placement for Media and Gaming - Streaming devices and smart TVs on a Media network are correctly placed (no audit finding), since Media is isolated like IoT. Game consoles on Gaming are also accepted.

Security Audit

Fixed false-positive isolation issues on pre-zone-based firewall setups - A recent change assigned "ANY" matching targets to firewall rules with empty source/dest fields, which caused infrastructure rules (Allow Established/Related, Drop Invalid State) to eclipse the real inter-VLAN block rule. Fixed at three layers: parser, evaluator, and VLAN analyzer.

Alerts & Schedule

Audit severity no longer inflated by system issues - System-category issues (e.g., fingerprint DB unavailable) are now excluded from critical counts, so a score-100 audit won't trigger Error-severity alerts.
Schedule error handling isolated - A DB update failure after a successful task no longer triggers a false "task failed" alert.
Console reconnection before scheduled audits - Prevents fingerprint cache failures on long schedule intervals where the session goes stale.
Source links on all alerts - Alerts now link back to their source page (e.g., a specific speed test result or audit finding) with "View" buttons in the UI and links in all notification channels.

Installation

Windows: Download the MSI installer below

Docker:

docker compose pull && docker compose up -d

macOS (native, recommended for accurate speed tests vs Docker Desktop):

# or if you already have it cloned
cd NetworkOptimizer && git pull && ./scripts/install-macos-native.sh

Proxmox:

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ozark-Connect/NetworkOptimizer/main/scripts/proxmox/install.sh)"
