Ozark-Connect/NetworkOptimizer v1.14.4 on GitHub

More fixes for WAN Steering, Adaptive SQM, and the security audit. See v1.14.0 release notes for what's new in v1.14.0+

WAN Steering

Fix kernel race condition on Cloud Gateway Fiber - Conntrack deletions during failover or config reloads could trigger kernel errors on IPQ9574 devices with SFE enabled. Now flushes the SFE cache first to prevent the race.

Adaptive SQM

Reduce excessive kernel warnings on Cloud Gateway Fiber - The minimum class rate was generating thousands of harmless "quantum is small" warnings, putting unnecessary write pressure on eMMC storage. Adjusted to eliminate the warnings with no change in traffic shaping behavior.

Wi-Fi Optimizer

Smarter high TX retry detection - A single client with high retries usually means a client-specific problem, not a systemic AP issue. Now requires at least 2 affected clients before raising an alert, and scales severity: Warning for 2-9 clients, Critical for 10+.

Security Audit

Fix false positive subnet mismatch alerts - The subnet mismatch check could use a stale IP from a previous VLAN config as a fallback. Now uses the most recent known IP, which avoids false positives when devices move between VLANs.

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)"
