Sandboxie Plus 1.15.9 delivers a robust update centered on security, stability, and compatibility—particularly for users of modern web browsers and those prioritizing privacy and sandbox integrity.
A key highlight is the improved compatibility with Firefox 137 Nightly and later, resolving previous hooking issues that caused instability or functional limitations. Firefox now runs smoothly within sandboxed environments once again.
Security enhancements are another major focus. This release addresses a potential IP leakage vulnerability affecting dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 setups when only one proxy type was configured. Connections now fail gracefully if no proxy is set for the relevant IP type, effectively preventing unintentional bypasses and preserving user anonymity—a critical improvement for users relying on VPNs or proxies.
Additionally, a serious local privilege escalation vulnerability tied to the HostenjectDll mechanism has been patched, thanks to responsible disclosure. This fix strengthens Sandboxie’s role as a secure execution layer.
For advanced users, a new debug option OpenAllSysCalls=y has been added, allowing unrestricted system call access for testing purposes. However, due to its permissive nature, it should be used with caution.
Among the usability improvements, users can now duplicate sandboxes and their contents directly from the UI, streamlining environment management. The update also introduces a new developer certificate type that disables user-mode component verification for advanced use cases. This node-locked certificate is available at no additional cost to existing Contributor or Eternal/Huge certificate holders upon request.
Overall, version 1.15.9 brings a thoughtful balance of new features, critical fixes, and user-focused enhancements, reinforcing Sandboxie Plus as a powerful tool for secure application isolation.

Major Privacy v0.97.1 BETA
Version 0.97.1 of MajorPrivacy introduces several new features, improvements, and fixes, enhancing both functionality and reliability. This update continues to refine the tool’s ability to manage privacy, security, and process control in modern Windows environments.
In this release, an optional user password cache is now available, allowing users to store credentials locally if desired, to simplify certain interactions. The tray menu has also been expanded, providing more convenient access to frequently used functions directly from the system tray. To improve visibility into network activity, additional filters have been added to the network views, giving users more granular control over what data is displayed.
Several significant changes have also been made to enhance usability and functionality. Signature verification has been reworked and improved. The Ingress record has been moved to its own dedicated file, separating it from other logs for better organization. Along with this, file naming conventions have been revised: AccessLog.dat has been renamed to AccessRecord.dat and TrafficLog.dat is now called TrafficRecord.dat. Since MajorPrivacy is still in beta, the old files will not be automatically migrated or cleaned up, so users are encouraged to manually delete them from C:ProgramDataXanasoftMajorPrivacy if they are no longer needed.
Another important change is that, by default, no records (Traffic, Execution, Ingress, Access) are stored to disk anymore. This change reflects a stronger focus on privacy by default, ensuring that only users who explicitly choose to enable logging will have data written to disk. Furthermore, the services configuration file has been renamed to PrivacyAgent.ini to better align with the service’s role. Finally, popup notifications have been cleaned up to avoid showing redundant entries, improving readability and reducing noise in high-activity environments.
This release also addresses several critical bugs and compatibility issues. An incompatibility between ZwLockRegistryKey usage and HVCI (Hypervisor Code Integrity) has been resolved, ensuring MajorPrivacy works correctly on systems with HVCI enabled. Multiple UI crashes related to process protection and DLL loading have been fixed, significantly improving stability. Lastly, a crash occurring when setting the firewall filtering mode has been corrected, ensuring smoother configuration changes.
With these additions, improvements, and fixes, MajorPrivacy 0.97.1 offers a more robust and reliable experience, particularly for users working with advanced security configurations and detailed process monitoring needs.

Sandboxie-Plus 1.15.0 Released
This build of Sandboxie Plus version 1.15.0 introduces several impactful enhancements, focusing on user-specific operations and security improvements. A notable addition is the new user proxy mechanism, which enables user-specific operations, as well as support for Encrypting File System (EFS) through the user proxy. By adding the configuration ‘EnableEFS=y’ to the sandbox, users can now leverage EFS within the sandbox environment. Furthermore, a breakout document feature has been implemented, allowing users to specify certain file paths and extensions that can escape the sandbox. However, users are warned to avoid paths terminated with wildcards as they may open up security vulnerabilities, enabling the execution of malicious scripts outside of the sandbox.
In terms of security, a new mechanism has been added to restrict access to box folders, allowing only the user who created the folder to access it by setting ‘LockBoxToUser=y’. Additionally, users now have the option to retain the original Access Control Lists (ACLs) on sandboxed files or modify them, providing more flexibility in access management, this may introduce compatibility issues though. Another new feature is the ‘OpenWPADEndpoint=y’ option, which allows to open system proxy configuration access. On the technical side, improvements have been made to the startup processes for SandboxieCrypto and Sandboxed RPCSS, as well as refinements to the user interface controls.
These updates mark a significant step forward in both the security and functionality of Sandboxie Plus.

Sandboxie-Plus 1.14.7
In this release, we have introduced several new features and improvements that significantly enhance the user experience and provide greater flexibility in system operations. Most notably, users can now effortlessly obtain free 10-day evaluation certificates directly from the support settings page within the UI. These certificates are hardware-locked to the user’s machine and allow for up to three requests per hardware ID, making it easier to test and evaluate the system with minimal setup.
Furthermore, new options have been added to increase privacy and security, such as the ability to modify the Windows Product ID in the registry to a random value and to return random values for disk serial numbers and network adapter MAC addresses when queried by applications. These features add an extra layer of obfuscation to protect against unwanted system identification.
Other enhancements include the ability to terminate all processes when Sandman exits, a new option for configuring DropConHostIntegrity directly from the UI, and an improved shared template feature in the New Box Wizard. The number of available shared templates has increased to 10, and the template names can now be easily updated by adjusting the corresponding settings.
In terms of fixes, we have addressed several key issues, including improving the “HideDiskSerialNumber” functionality to prevent application crashes, correcting the format of encrypted proxy passwords, and resolving an issue related to the “NtQueryDirectoryObject” function to avoid easy sandbox detection. These updates contribute to a more stable and secure environment for users.
