This release primarily addresses critical compatibility issues with Firefox, ensuring that version 137.0 and later now runs correctly within Sandboxie Plus without generating SBIE2328 notifications. This fix restores proper functionality for Firefox users, resolving a major disruption introduced in the previous version.

In addition to the Firefox fix, this update introduces a new configuration option, BindAdapterIP, which allows users to bind sandboxed applications to a specific host IP address. This can be defined globally or per process via the INI file, offering greater control over network behavior within the sandbox. It’s important to note that the specified IP must be bound to a local network interface, or connections will fail.

Several additional issues have been resolved, including problems affecting Thunderbird. Memory leaks related to process command line retrieval have been addressed, and missing components like SbieShellExt.dll have been restored.

Also there is a new Patreon tier: Advanced located between the Regular and Great.

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.

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.
