ProxySQL 3.0.1 has been released

ProxySQL 3.0.1 has been released on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.

Try it out using the Installation guide.

This version updates ProxySQL to version 3.0.1.

ProxySQL now uses a dynamically linked version of the system's OpenSSL library instead of a statically linked one. This change allows ProxySQL to more easily use the most up-to-date and secure versions of OpenSSL already present on the host system. Additionally, ProxySQL now logs a warning message if it detects a problematic or outdated OpenSSL version, alerting administrators to potential security risks.

A bug has been fixed where the syncusers command would delete and recreate users when a password hash difference was detected, which incorrectly removed the default_schema property. This operation now correctly preserves the property. We thank George Mess for reporting this issue and contributing a patch.

ProxySQL 3 has removed support for several distributions (#4749) due to them being officially past their end-of-life or lacking native support for OpenSSL 3.0, a library required for modern security features.
