Development Updates: Dec. 12th

At Veilock VPN, we’re driven by a commitment to innovation, ensuring that you have the best tools to protect your online security and privacy; no matter where you are. We know that the digital landscape is constantly changing, and with it, the challenges of staying secure and in control. That’s why we’re focused on building our VPN panel to be jam-packed with security controls.

In this development update, we’re pulling back the curtain to share some of the exciting improvements we’ve been working on with Vortex, Veilock's custom DNS-based filtering suite.

Improved Blacklist and Whitelist Management

We're excited to share a behind-the-scenes look at the improvements to our domain filtering logic for users and groups. The code snippet shown illustrates how our system efficiently checks whether a domain is blacklisted or whitelisted for a user or any group they belong to.

Key Highlights:

• Personalized Filtering: Each user has dedicated blacklists and whitelists, ensuring their unique preferences are respected.
• Optimized Logic: The functions leverage reusable components, such as isDomainInList, to enhance performance and maintainability.

This update ensures that our filtering system is faster, more flexible, and easier to scale as we continue to refine your internet security experience.

Enhancing Group Management in Vortex

As part of our ongoing updates, we've introduced a streamlined approach to managing user-group associations within the Vortex filtering system. The above code snippet demonstrates the backend logic for adding a user to a group securely and efficiently.

Key Highlights:

• Group-Level Rules: Users inherit domain filters from their associated groups, streamlining the management of shared rules.
  • We're shipping our VPN panel with several pre-built groups that allow you to block things like malware, advertisements, coin mining, and other threats with a single click.
  • Veilock has deployed honeypot servers and other infrastructure to continuously update our threat intelligence; helping keep you safe.

In this update, we unveiled key improvements to Veilock VPN’s Vortex filtering system and group management features. The code updates include enhanced domain filtering with personalized blacklists and whitelists for users, group-level filtering for streamlined management, and robust validation processes to ensure seamless and secure user-group integrations.

These improvements enhance flexibility, security, and ease of use, allowing users to better tailor their security preferences. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue refining your VPN experience!
