Beta v0.8.0 - Minor - “Origin Bridge, Changelogs, and other minor improvements”
Release Date: July 23, 2025
Hey! We’re doing changelogs now! This is the first official changelog, but we’ve retroactively created entries for previous releases, loosely based on git history.
This version encapsulates all features and improvements developed since the platform's inception. Changelogs prior to this version are retroactively documented.
Added
- Changelogs: you’re reading it now.
- Origin Bridge: CLI-based “Bridge” utility to automatically configure a secure Wireguard tunnel between your server and our network without opening any firewall ports.
- API: Upstream IPs - You can now query our API for an active list of upstream IPs: https://api.skip2.net/v1/upstream-ips
- TLS: Added SSL.com and Buypass Go to our TLS provider rotation. Certificates are now provisioned by these TLS providers by default, in this order: ZeroSSL, Let’s Encrypt, SSL.com, Buypass Go. If one provider fails to provision a certificate, the next is tried.
Changed
- Reduced configuration sync time from ~2.5 minutes to 1 minute.
- Reduced firewall sync time from 1 minute to 15 seconds.
- Fully implemented: “Snitch”, improving networking resilience by:
- Increasing health check frequency to 30s
- Checking both IPv4 and IPv6 routes simultaneously
- Reducing failover activation time to less than one minute
Fixed
- A routing issue causing sporadic and random HTTP500 errors
- An issue where the X-Forwarded-For header would contain an internal IP address instead of a client IP address
- A storage issue where where stale web data was not being invalidated from the cache properly
- A DNS configuration issue causing some queries to return empty instead of an IP address
