+ We’ve launched nine packed Core Updates to a userbase of millions of people in
+ almost 200 countries.
+ We’ve developed and improved on our firewall engine adding support for blocking
+ any connections from hostile networks, added Two-Factor Authentication for OpenVPN,
+ and massively improved our Intrusion Prevention System and Quality of Service.

+ As we move into the New Year, in addition to our standard Core Updates,
+ we’re looking to bring our software to even more users
+ and we strive to continue being more agile than the big boys in the industry.

+ 2022 has been a challenging year and with an Open Source project,
+ it is increasingly difficult to meet the cost of running it.
+ Can you help us meet these costs?
