• Upgrade to .NET 6
• Big RAM reduction

This discussion was created from the release IPBan 1.7.0.

Wanted to get eyes on the .NET 6 release. This should have improved performance and memory usage, but as .NET 6 is still quite new, there is a small amount of chance there could be unforeseen bugs. All the tests are passing which is a good start.

Please chime in with any issues seen in this release. If I don't see anything for a month or so I will promote this to a full release.

This is now an official release! Very pleased with the binary size, performance and RAM usage, enjoy!

Hi!
If I already have IPBan installed and want to update to the latest release, do I simply use the «Easy one click install» procedure?

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DigitalRuby/IPBan/master/IPBanCore/Windows/Scripts/install_latest.ps1'))

Also, do I need to stop any services before attempting an update?

Thank you for your support!

Just run that from an admin power shell should be good.

Just tried this, doesnt work.... complained about the folder existing already, tried to just delete everything so id have a simple one command install, aaaand that was probably a bad idea

`New-Item : An item with the specified name C:\Program Files\IPBan already exists.
At line:86 char:1

• & mkdir -p $INSTALL_PATH

•   + CategoryInfo          : ResourceExists: (C:\Program Files\IPBan:String) [New-Item], IOException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DirectoryExist,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewItemCommand`
  
  

edit: solution was to reboot, delete IPBan folder from \program files\ then run the command
