macOS: cross-compilation support for arm64 and x86_64 Add architecture-aware builds across all macOS components: - Introduce ARCH_TARGET environment variable propagated through all build scripts - Update daemon build scripts (OpenVPN, WireGuard, obfs4proxy, V2Ray, dnscrypt-proxy, KEM helper) to support cross-compilation with arch-specific output directories (_deps/${ARCH_TARGET}/) - Enhance CLI and UI build scripts with architecture isolation - Update helper projects (helper, launchAgent, uninstaller) to use -arch flag - Add architecture verification with lipo in UI build process - Add npm scripts for arch-specific Electron builds (mac:arm64, mac:x64) - Create clean.sh script for architecture-specific artifact cleanup - Update sign_image.sh to use arch-specific staging paths - Update readme with cross-compilation build instructions This enables building both Apple Silicon and Intel binaries from a single machine, with proper cross-CGO setup and isolated build artifacts per architecture.
-
Linux: add ARM64 cross-compilation support All Linux build scripts now respect ARCH_TARGET (amd64|arm64) and output to arch-namespaced directories (_deps/<arch>/ and _out_bin/<arch>/). - build-all.sh: add ARCH_TARGET, CROSS_ARCH propagation, -C clean flag; use readelf for cross-arch binary validation; make GLIBC check non-interactive (fail fast unless IVPN_BUILD_SKIP_GLIBC_VER_CHECK=1) - build-daemon.sh: set GOARCH from ARCH_TARGET; arch-specific OUT_DIR - compile-cli.sh: set GOARCH from ARCH_TARGET; arch-specific OUT_DIR; simplify (remove redundant -c flag) - build.sh (cli + ui): arch-specific OUT_DIR and fpm --architecture flag - compile-ui.sh: invoke electron:build:linux:x64 or :arm64 per ARCH_TARGET - build-openvpn.sh: add --host/CC configure flags for cross-compile; preflight check for arm64 dev libraries - build-wireguard-tools.sh: add CC/ARCH make vars for cross-compile - build-kem-helper.sh: pass CMAKE_CROSS_FLAGS and GCC_CMD for cross-compile - build-{obfs4proxy,v2ray,dnscrypt-proxy}.sh: set GOARCH; arch-specific paths - clean-all.sh: new script to remove build artifacts per arch - snap/snapcraft.yaml: detect host arch at runtime for artifact copy paths - ui/package.json: add electron:build:linux:x64 and :arm64 npm scripts - ci.yml: bump Node.js from 18.x to 22.x - docs: update output paths to include <arch> subdir; add cross-compile requirements and ARCH_TARGET usage examples

Windows: OpenVPN v2.6.20
-
Windows: update OpenVPN to v2.7.4, TAP driver to v9.27; switch ARM64 to tapivpn - Replace ARM64 OpenVPN placeholder binaries with custom builds (tapivpn component ID) - Add ARM64 tapivpn.sys/cat/OemVista.inf (attestation-signed); remove tap0901 files - Update OpenSSL to 3.x; remove legacy libcrypto-1_1 / libssl-1_1 DLLs - Unify NSIS installer: remove ARM64 tap0901 conditional, both arches now use tapivpn - Restructure release-manifest.txt: consolidate shared entries across architectures - Remove x86 devcon.exe (unused); update x86_64 devcon.exe
-
(Linux) UI: suppress debug/info log messages from stdout Set electron-log console transport level to 'warn' to prevent routine daemon protocol messages (==> / <==) from being written to stdout. On Linux, when the app is launched via the .desktop file, stdout is captured by the systemd session manager and forwarded to the journal, causing high-volume noise in the system log during normal operation. Warnings and errors continue to be emitted to stdout on all platforms. Debug/info messages remain available in the electron-log file transport (~/.config/IVPN Client/logs/main.log). https://github.com/ivpn/desktop-app/issues/547
-
feat(windows): add ARM64 support for Split Tunnel driver - Add ARM64 build configurations to VS solution and project files - Update build.bat to accept optional arch parameter (x86_64|arm64) - Replace deprecated ExAllocatePoolWithTag with ExAllocatePool2 (required for ARM64/WDK) - Add pre-built ARM64 signed driver files (sys, inf, cat) v1.0.5.0 - Remove obsolete Win32 and ARM (32-bit) project configurations - Drop WdfCoinstaller01009.dll dependency (not needed on modern/ARM64 builds) - Make release-manifest.txt SplitTunnelDriver entry arch-agnostic - Update Visual Studio solution format to VS 2022 (v17)
-
Windows: add ARM64 OpenVPN binaries and tap0901 driver support - Add ARM64 OpenVPN binaries (openvpn.exe, openssl.exe, OpenSSL/PKCS11 DLLs, vcruntime140.dll) - Add ARM64 tap-windows6 driver files (tap0901.sys, tap0901.cat, OemVista.inf) - Update release-manifest.txt with arm64-only file staging entries - NSIS installer: use tap0901 on ARM64 (shared with official OpenVPN), tapivpn on x86_64 - NSIS installer: skip tap0901 install if already present on ARM64 (avoid duplicate adapter) - NSIS installer: skip tap0901 removal on uninstall on ARM64 (avoid breaking existing OpenVPN) Note: ARM64 tap0901 handling is a temporary solution - ARM build uses the non-custom TAP driver. OpenVPN binaries and TAP driver taken from the official OpenVPN installer. TODO: Custom OpenVPN and TAP drivers have to be used (with own component ID: 'tapivpn' instead of 'tap0901') to not interfere with a separate OpenVPN installation.
-
fix(ui): update Windows openssl path to match installer staging layout GetOpenSSLBinaryPath() was returning the old arch-prefixed source path (OpenVPN\x86_64\openssl.exe). The installer stages the binary to a flat destination (OpenVPN\openssl.exe) regardless of architecture, so the runtime path should match that layout.
-
Refactor Windows build system for multi-architecture support - Remove runtime architecture detection from daemon platform code - Move architecture-specific binary paths to build-time configuration - Update NSIS installer to use architecture-agnostic file names - Add ARM64 build exclusion for TAP driver (temporary not supported on ARM64) - Add separate npm scripts for x64 and ARM64 Windows builds - Include ARM64-specific release manifest and checksum files This refactoring enables clean separation between x64 and ARM64 builds while simplifying the runtime platform initialization code.
-
Fix Windows firewall transaction abort and filter ordering Fix transaction defer logic to abort on regular errors, not just panics. Move localhost exception filters to be added immediately after "block all" to ensure critical connectivity survives configuration failures. Fixes connectivity loss on when some binaries are missing (e.g. OpenVPN binary).
-
Windows: devcon.exe ARM64 (signed)
-
build: enhance Windows build script with comprehensive documentation and refactoring - Add detailed header documentation with build requirements and usage examples - Improve architecture detection and cross-compilation support - Add VS environment initialization function with error handling - Fix variable quoting and naming conventions (BUILD_DATE, _TARGET_ARCH) - Enhance error reporting and debug output - Update clean-all.bat for consistency
-
Windows: devcon.exe ARM64
-
Windows: add ARM64 build support (wip) - Parameterize all Windows build scripts with an architecture argument (x86_64 | arm64, defaults to host arch): build-all.bat, build-obfs4proxy.bat, build-v2ray.bat, build-dnscrypt-proxy.bat, build-wireguard.bat, build-kem-helper.bat, kem-helper/build.bat, cli build.bat - Reorganize binary output into arch subdirectories for all components: obfsproxy, v2ray, dnscrypt-proxy, kem, WireGuard, daemon service, CLI - Native DLLs (IVPN Firewall Native, IVPN Helpers Native): add Release|ARM64 MSBuild configuration; output to bin/Release/<Platform>/ with uniform names (no architecture suffix); update Go platform files to match - Fix wifiNotifier filename (_amd64 suffix removed) so it compiles for all Windows GOARCH targets - Update installer staging: release-files.txt, build.bat copy_files, package-release.ps1 to reflect new paths and DLL names - Update clean-all.bat to cover native DLL build artifacts per arch - Update .gitignore for new output paths; consolidate daemon/.gitignore (remove duplication with root .gitignore) - Update readme: add ARM64 build prerequisites (MSVC ARM64 toolset, ATL ARM64 component, llvm-mingw)
-
build(windows): upgrade Visual Studio platform toolset to v143 - Update PlatformToolset from v142 to v143 (VS2022) in both native projects - Simplify WindowsTargetPlatformVersion to 10.0 in IVPN Helpers Native
-
build(Windows): move signing and installer packaging out of build scripts Previously, signing (signtool) and installer creation (NSIS) were embedded inside build.bat and its sub-scripts. This meant every build triggered multiple PIN prompts for the EV USB dongle and made CI builds require special handling to suppress signing. Separate concerns so that build scripts only compile and stage binaries, and a dedicated package-release.ps1 handles signing and packaging in a controlled, explicit step: - build.bat (ui): remove NSIS installer build and all inline signtool calls; compile and stage binaries only - build-all.bat (daemon): remove inline signtool calls from all sub-steps - build.bat (cli): remove inline signtool call - package-release.ps1 (new): sign all IVPN-owned binaries in a single signtool invocation (one PIN prompt total), build NSIS installer, sign installer; unsigned mode available when CERT_SHA1 is not set - readme.md: update Windows compilation instructions

fix(window): use resizable:false on macOS/Linux via IsResizableWindow() Add IsResizableWindow() to platform.js — returns true only on Windows. Use it for all three BrowserWindow configs (main, settings, update). On Windows, resizable:false causes a permanent WS_THICKFRAME inset (Electron v28+) that makes all size APIs unreliable. The workaround is resizable:true + blocking drag resizes via the 'will-resize' event. On macOS and Linux, resizable:false works correctly and is now applied. Note: 'will-resize' is not emitted on Linux, so the event-based approach cannot be used there. https://github.com/ivpn/desktop-app-shadow/issues/203
