Our team of developers is keen to continuously improve our products. Hence, we periodically release firmware updates to not only eliminate errors and raise product quality but also provide new additional features. We base the development of new product features strongly upon our customer's feedback.

RuggedVPN

Since 2015, Viprinet uses RuggedVPN. RuggedVPN constitutes the next generation of Viprinet firmware and is regularly developed further. From the beginning of 2017, the "Classic" firmware that was used until 2015 is no longer supported. Existing installations should therefore be switched to RuggedVPN in a timely manner in order to profit from all the latest and newest features.

Online update

All our routers provide the option of a simple online update for the stable firmware branch in the web interface at [ AdminDesk ] [ Logging & Maintenance ] [ Router Firmware Update ]. The device will automatically check for firmware updates for this specific router model and - if applicable - download and install them. Configuration settings permit that firmware updates will be downloaded without any administrator support when available. However, the installation should always be run with an administrator present.

Offline update

As an alternative to an online update, an offline update is available. To do an offline update, please download the correct firmware image for your product and then use the manual update function inside the router's web interface to upload that image. The firmware images are available on our Update server.

If you need any help or further information concerning firmware updates, please contact our support team.

Viprinet Lifetime Maintenance

Usage of RuggedVPN firmware requires a "Viprinet Lifetime Maintenance" contract being in place. The old Classic firmware is available without having such a maintenance contract. Support for both firmware generations requires a VLM License.
