Security audit accuracy improvements and a big WiFi Optimizer Client Stats refresh.
Security Audit
- IP/CIDR firewall rules now recognized - Rules that block internet via IP/CIDR sources (e.g.,
192.168.99.0/24) were previously ignored. The audit now correctly identifies these as internet blocks. - Zone-aware rule matching - Firewall rules scoped to a custom zone no longer falsely match networks in other zones.
- Port group rules no longer flagged as any-any - Rules using port groups (e.g., "Web Ports") were incorrectly treated as unrestricted.
- Custom zone rules no longer flagged as overly broad - Rules scoped to custom firewall zones (or zones with fewer than 5 networks) are now correctly recognized as narrow-scope rules.
- Internet Block Bypassed now detects port-based allow rules - Port-restricted allow rules (e.g., ports 80, 443) that bypass a network's internet block are now correctly flagged.
- Management internet access no longer masked by Block Invalid Traffic - The predefined "Block Invalid Traffic" rule (which only blocks INVALID connection state) was incorrectly counted as blocking all internet, hiding missing internet restrictions on Management and Security networks.
- Better recommendation text - Several audit findings that were showing generic recommendation text now display specific, actionable guidance.
WiFi Optimizer
- Client Stats table view - See all your clients at a glance in a pageable, sortable table instead of needing to select one from a dropdown.
- Searchable client dropdown - Quickly find clients by name, MAC address, or IP.
- Offline client tracking - Recently disconnected devices appear with last-seen timestamps. Filter by All, Online, or Offline.
- Metrics band filter - Tab-style multi-select for 2.4/5/6 GHz with dynamic chart heights that expand when fewer bands are selected.
- Weak signal alerts include AP name - Easier to identify where signal issues are occurring.
- Restyled progress bars - Consistent styling across all WiFi Optimizer tabs.
- Mobile-friendly improvements - Tabs scroll horizontally on smaller screens, issue icons display correctly.
Installation
Windows: Download the MSI installer below
Docker:
docker compose pull && docker compose up -dmacOS (native, recommended for accurate speed tests vs Docker Desktop):
git clone https://github.com/Ozark-Connect/NetworkOptimizer.git && cd NetworkOptimizer && ./scripts/install-macos-native.sh
# or if you already have it cloned
cd NetworkOptimizer && git pull && ./scripts/install-macos-native.shProxmox:
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ozark-Connect/NetworkOptimizer/main/scripts/proxmox/install.sh)"For other platforms (Synology, QNAP, Unraid, native Linux), see the Deployment Guide.
