Core Update 163 (testing) report

Hello development folks,

Core Update 163 (testing; no release announcement or changelog has been published, yet)
is running here for about 24 hours by now without any major issues known so far.

On my relatively fast, relatively low-latency DSL connection, CAKE did not introduce any
noticeable change so far, but this was kind of expected. It's a bit sad to have this
reported, knowing how much effort went into this feature. Let's hope it makes IPFire more
usable behind slow/high-latency internet connections.

Tested IPFire functionalities in detail:
- PPPoE dial-up via a DSL connection
- IPsec (N2N connections only)
- Squid (authentication enabled, using an upstream proxy)
- OpenVPN (RW connections only)
- IPS/Suricata (with Emerging Threats community ruleset enabled)
- Guardian
- Quality of Service
- DNS (using DNS over TLS and strict QNAME minimisation)
- Dynamic DNS
- Tor (relay mode)

I am looking forward to the release of Core Update 163.

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
