October 2025 performance summary for psleng/vyos-1x: Delivered two high-impact features and refined TLS handling to improve reliability and security. Key achievements include enabling custom health check ports for HAProxy backends, which allows health probes to target dedicated endpoints (e.g., port 8080) without impacting normal traffic ports, enhancing probe reliability. Also completed TLS configuration improvements: remove redundant enable flag from syslog TLS options; rename permitted-peers to permitted-peer, add support for multiple permitted-peer entries, and tighten validation across templates, schema, and tests, with updated tests to validate TCP/TLS behavior. These changes were implemented with careful updates to templates, schema, and tests, and are ready for deployment in production environments. Impact: improved health monitoring reliability and stronger TLS configuration validation, reducing misconfigurations and improving security posture. Technologies demonstrated include Go-like backend changes, configuration templates, schema validation, TLS, and HAProxy integration with test-driven updates.

September 2025: Delivered Secure Remote Syslog Forwarding with TLS (PKI integration) for psleng/vyos-1x. Extended CLI and backend to support TLS configuration including CA certificates, client certificates, keys, and multiple authentication modes; integrated with the PKI subsystem, validated protocol settings when TLS is enabled, and generated secure rsyslog configurations for TLS-based log forwarding. This work enhances data security for centralized logging and supports compliance requirements across environments.

August 2025: Focused on upgrade reliability and preserving SSH trust during image upgrades in psleng/vyos-1x. Implemented SSH Known Hosts Migration to migrate existing known_hosts from old image persistence to new persistence during upgrade, preserving user trust relationships. The feature detects existing known_hosts files, prompts for user confirmation, and copies them to the new persistence directory, preventing trust breakage across upgrades. This reduces post-upgrade SSH issues and supports a smoother upgrade experience for users.

July 2025: Delivered IPsec configuration enhancements for the StrongSwan backend and a protocol compatibility fix for strongSwan 5.9.11 in the psleng/vyos-1x repository. Implemented dynamic local/remote traffic selector prefixes and enabled the disable-uniqreqids option to restore legacy behavior for multiple connections with the same identity, plus a protocol handling fix converting 'protocol all' to the appropriate subnet notation with accompanying tests for upgrade scenarios.
