📢 Important Announcement for the System Administrator Community

Way to the Web Ltd and ConfigServer.com have officially announced they will permanently close operations on August 31, 2025, after more than 25 years in the server software market. This news directly impacts thousands of system administrators who rely on their tools for server security and management.

For this reason, it's CRITICAL that all users update to the latest versions before the deadline.

According to their official announcement, the server software market has drastically changed and the business is no longer profitable after 25 years of operation.
