To kick off 2026, we have successfully executed a comprehensive infrastructure refresh. We have upgraded our web server core to Nginx 1.29.4 (Mainline), ensuring robust HTTP/3 and QUIC support with improved congestion control. Simultaneously, we updated our cryptographic backend to OpenSSL 3.6.0, enabling the latest Quantum-Safe algorithms and cipher suites.

On the network layer, we applied significant optimizations using nftables 1.1.6. These changes streamline packet filtering logic and utilize atomic set operations, reducing processing latency for legitimate traffic while maintaining strict defense against DDoS and botnet threats.
