Hello *,

Core Update 160 (testing, see: https://blog.ipfire.org/post/ipfire-2-27-core-update-160-available-for-testing)
is running here for about two days by now without any known issues so far.

Unfortunately, the cheap Realtek NIC of my testing machine does not benefit from ntuple offloading, so I am unable
to report back latency improvements in detail. The SVG rendered graphs do look smoother indeed, especially on
high-resolution screens.

Tested IPFire functionalities in detail:
- 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 look forward to the release of Core Update 160.

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
