_This is the first post of our new product newsletter aimed at providing regular
|
||||
updates on the Firezone product. We'll use these posts going forward to announce
|
||||
new features, major updates to existing features, and any other product-related
|
||||
news._
|
||||
|
||||
Happy new year from the Firezone team!
|
||||
|
||||
After a long year of building, we're incredibly excited to announce 1.0 beta
|
||||
testing for Apple and Android platforms. Firezone 1.0 is an entirely new product
|
||||
with a brand new architecture that includes many of the features you've been
|
||||
asking for. To summarize just a few:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Native clients for every major platform** (macOS, iOS, Android, Linux,
|
||||
Windows) that authenticate against your configured identity provider
|
||||
- **Automatic firewall hole punching** with intelligent routing that ensures
|
||||
connections always pick the shortest path between clients and gateways
|
||||
- **Highly available gateways** with support for automatic load balancing and
|
||||
failover
|
||||
- **Group-based, granular access policies** for managing access to IPs, CIDR
|
||||
ranges, and even DNS-based resources like `gitlab.company.com`
|
||||
- **Automatic user/group sync** (Google Workspace currently supported)
|
||||
|
||||
Our commitment to transparency remains the same: Firezone is still (and always
|
||||
will be) a 100% open-source product. Anyone can audit the
|
||||
[codebase](https://github.com/firezone/firezone) and verify that the product
|
||||
works the way we claim it does.
|
||||
|
||||
## Firezone 1.0 beta testing on Apple and Android
|
||||
|
||||
If you're on a recent Apple or Android device, you're in luck! These platforms
|
||||
are available for beta testing today. Apply for the closed beta
|
||||
[here](/product/early-access), and we'll be in touch. We're currently
|
||||
prioritizing teams and businesses at this time, but plan to roll out invites to
|
||||
individuals and homelabbers along with Windows and Linux betas over the next few
|
||||
weeks.
|
||||
|
||||
To beta test 1.0, you'll need one of the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- Apple silicon or Intel Mac running **macOS 12** or later
|
||||
- iPhone or iPad running **iOS/iPadOS 15** or later
|
||||
- Android phone, tablet, or ChromeOS device running **Android 11** or later
|
||||
|
||||
If you qualify for beta testing, we'll add you to a dedicated Slack channel for
|
||||
feedback and support and provide further instructions for downloading clients
|
||||
and accessing your account there.
|
||||
|
||||
Beta testers can enjoy unlimited usage of the product during the beta testing
|
||||
period, after which point they'll need to switch to
|
||||
[an appropriate plan](/pricing) to continue using Firezone. We expect the beta
|
||||
period to end sometime towards the end of Q1 2024. As a thank you for being an
|
||||
early tester and providing product feedback, **beta testers will receive a
|
||||
discount** that will be applied when the beta period ends, and 1.0 enters
|
||||
general availability.
|
||||
|
||||
## Firezone 0.7 is now EOL
|
||||
|
||||
Firezone 0.7 is now called "Firezone Legacy" and has reached end-of-life.
|
||||
Existing Firezone Legacy instances will continue to function as before, but we
|
||||
won't be issuing any further updates to Firezone legacy after **January 31st,
|
||||
2024**.
|
||||
|
||||
Firezone Legacy will continue to live on indefinitely in the
|
||||
[legacy branch of our main repository](https://github.com/firezone/firezone/blob/legacy).
|
||||
We won't be supporting it past January 31st, but it's Apache 2.0 licensed, so
|
||||
you're free to fork it, modify it, and continue to use it how you see fit.
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation for Firezone Legacy will continue to live at
|
||||
[https://www.firezone.dev/docs](https://www.firezone.dev/docs).

you in Slack!

||||
That's all for now.
