ETA on updated version to resolve known vulnerabilities

Shawn Thompson — Wed, 07 May 2025 20:07:56 -0000

Do we have an ETA when WANem will be updated to resolve known vulnerabilities? This tool is great, but we can no longer use it by our Security Team.

fyi: I only use the ISO version of the product.

II have installed Ubuntu and wanem on a raspberry pi. The wanem runs, but I have no graphical interface because this error message always appears. I dont know how to fix this problem :/ Maybe someone have an idea? Thank you

Need to restart WANem host

Karan Kumawat — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 13:28:19 -0000

After Configuring WANem(v2.3) between Server PC and client device, to test TCP stack of client, WANem GUI has rather variable load time, it loads quite slowly and only workaround i found out was to restart WANem host machine each time.

Is there any solution or as to why this happens.

Can you configure jumbo frames on WANem interfaces?

Omer Laor — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 18:36:36 -0000

Hi,
I am working with jumbo frames, with mtu up to 9000.
When trying to manually configure through terminal the mtu of my interfaces (with ifconfig for example) I am getting an error if my mtu size is over 1500:

ipconfig my_interface mtu 9000 up

I know that my nic supports jumbo frames with those mtus. Does the WANem machine itself able to work with jumbo frames? If so, how can I configure it to do so?

The software does not show up on booting, only black screen stays

Hi,

When I boot the software from the iso image, from the Knoppix screen, the further setup screen does not show up. Only the black screen stays. Does anyone face the same issue and could help with any suggestions to proceed further.

Thanks and Regards

Unable to find the iso file in the WANemv2.3 folder

Akansha Garg — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 20:56:19 -0000

Hi,

I am trying to use the software with windows. With the downloaded files from https://sourceforge.net/projects/wanem/files/ I do not find the iso image in the folder. Tried creating the iso image from the disc image file, but could not generate one. Could you please share the iso file of the software, or suggest the required changes need to obtain the same.

Thank you. Best Regards.

want to route traffic via WANem

Mimi M — Tue, 01 Aug 2023 15:43:09 -0000

Hi guys.
I am new to WANem solution, I tried to create the scenarios on the user guide documents, but I am having hard time passing traffic via WANem. I have enabled NAT with 'nat add eth0' command, and I configured iptable on WANem with ' iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport $DBPORT -j DNAT --destination $DBIP:$DBPORT' with of the host 1 ip and TCP port, However I am still not able to see the delays I have set when I ping the host 2. But I can see the delay of 100ms when I ping the WANem ip . Kindly help

Cannot access WEB UI

Hello,

I've installed WANEM 2.3 successfully, I have setup an IP address on eth0, I can ping this IP from the network, but when I open Http://wanemip, all I get is WAN em v2.3: It works !
Is there another URL to access the GUI configuration pages?

Thank you.

ESXi - WANem 3.0Beta2 versus WANem 2.3

Wolfgang Lins — Thu, 06 Oct 2022 15:08:30 -0000

Guys,

I tried to run WANem (version 3.0 Beta 2) on a ESXi resource pool - especially since you can install to HD.
Got it up with 4 NICs configured (1 mgmt and 3 traffic VLANs) and connected.
tested using one NIC with 2 external hosts in the same VLAN/subnet.
Traffic from host 1 arrived at WANem (via host route), but does not leave the WANem indirection of host 2 any more....
Tried different NIC (e.g. E1000) but all did not work.

Exactly the same setup with WANem 2.3 works fine....

Any ideas what is different in 3b2?

thanks, Wolfgang

When will a new version be created on the latest Linux version with security patches?
Thank you,
