Hi, again: what's new for Android users (more than 80% of market share, source Gartner 4Q16).
IOS is only 18%, are F-Secure people Apple fanboys ?
-
why don't you ask your question like: "when will this feature be availbable for android ?"
these reproachful remarks are compeletly useless.
I guess it's easier to implement it for iOS than for android, that's why they released it earlier.
not because of...
...fanboyism
...iOS users look better
...have more money to spend
...a global conspiracy against google/android lead by Tim Cook
-
It's easyer to implement a feature such port forwarding or whitelisting once the harder is done: making a secure channel between the app and the device.
For Android it's done, why such a delay: as explanation we have delays for holidays (!), after a postponed launch of .... 18 month !
Seems to me that they should wrote as prerequisite: you must have an IOS device to access the full features of Sense.
This is the only explanation I can see, fanboyism. (and of sure it's a bitter joke from me, if you did'nt understand me). And I re-explain: I'm not angry at all. Just deeply disappointed.

Hi,
Apologies for the delay and we are grateful for your patience.
An app version with the port forwarding feature + a bunch of other fixes is now available for open beta testing in google play. The build version is 1.0.681. There's still some minor tweaks coming (== this is not the 'final' build) and further testing before this is released to production, but for those of you that want early access to it should be able to download it now.
Google has instructions on how to access beta applications:

Please give it a go and as always, send us feedback!

I tried to download the end-point security client for Mac, but it only offers Sense for Windows. Then I went to see if my Sense had received the latest update and in the event log it says that the firmware has been updated 30.9.2017. All the other dates and times on Sense seem to be right, but the firmware update time goes two weeks to the future.
-
Thanks for the fast reply 1sk.
It seems that I still had the old firmware. I was too quick to assume that the update made "30.9.2017" would be the most recent update. I rebooted Sense by unplugging it and now it updated the firmware. After that I was able to download the Mac end-point client without any problems.
I don't have other router before sense. The update that was made today is shown correctly in the event log, but there still is the other update that is shown to be made 30.9.2017. Everything seem to be functioning normally so I guess that previous update is just for some reason shown with a wrong date.

Hi,
Thanks for your report,
We have noticed that sometimes when the device boots and before it gets a clock update from the internet the device clock can be in the future. We've made an improvement for this logic, which will hopefully reduce these problems in the next firmware update. There is still a chance that the clock is off before it gets a chance to synchronize from the internet, but at least it should not be a future date.
