WatchGuard is pleased to announce the release of Fireware v11.10 and WatchGuard System Manager v11.10. With Fireware v11.10, we add many new features to Fireware OS to make your firewall easier to set up and configure, and manage.

Highlights include:

Support for the use of fully qualified domain names (FQDN) as the source or destination in a policy or blocked sites entry, including support for wildcards.

Time and data quotas – Administrators can now set daily limits on the amount of time that users spend on Internet surfing each day and the amount of data/bandwidth that is used. With quotas, you can create an acceptable usage policy that is flexible and accommodates the needs of employees, but restricts Internet use to a reasonable amount.

Expanded Gateway Wireless Controller functionality – Including Rogue AP detection, time-based configuration of wireless SSIDs, and more exposure for wireless activity in Dimension.

Numerous ease-of-use improvements – Including new subscription service setup wizards in the Fireware Web UI, as well as greatly improved VPN diagnostics

With this release, we also offer an update to the WatchGuard AP device firmware to resolve several stability and performance issues.
