A new version of stellarOS has been sent out, here is what we added:

– It is now possible to disable Control Center, when the phone is locked. (So you cant swipe from the top and down to see notifications, change settings and so on, when the phone is locked). It can be disabled through Stellar Protect.

– Global VPN Protection. When enabled in Stellar Protect, every connection is required to go through the VPN provider, this means any DNS-leaks is removed. It applies for all users you have.

– Security patches from Google has been applied.

– We fixed several bugs across the OS, which extends the battery-life with atleast 1 hour.

– We added security enhancements for Stellar Protect, to ensure, any settings cannot be changed remotely by an attacker.

– We added more protection to the USB-port that protects any attempts for data-extraction.

More updates coming soon.
