The GUI exposed three networking modes: public server, manual, and standalone. In practice EasyTier does not have a server/client role distinction here. Those options only mapped to different peer bootstrap shapes, which made the product model misleading and pushed users toward a non-existent "public server" concept.
This change rewrites the shared configuration UX around initial nodes. Users now add or remove one or more initial node URLs directly, and the UI explains that EasyTier networking works like plugging in a cable: once a node connects to one or more existing nodes, it can join the mesh. Initial nodes may be self-hosted or shared by others.
To preserve compatibility, the frontend keeps the legacy fields and adds normalization helpers in the shared NetworkConfig layer. Old configs are read as initial_node_urls, while saves, runs, validation, config generation, and persisted GUI config sync still denormalize back into the current backend shape: zero initial nodes -> Standalone, one -> PublicServer, many -> Manual. This avoids any proto or backend API change while making old saved configs and imported TOML files load cleanly in the new UI.
Code changes:
- add initial_node_urls plus normalize/denormalize helpers in the shared frontend NetworkConfig model
- remove the mode switch and public-server/manual specific inputs from the shared Config component and replace them with a single initial-node list plus explanatory copy
- update Chinese and English locale strings for the new terminology
- normalize configs received from GUI/web backends and denormalize them before outbound API calls
- normalize GUI save-config events before storing them in localStorage so legacy payloads remain editable under the new model
Implement end-to-end encryption for core-web connections using the
Noise protocol framework with the following changes:
Client-side (easytier/src/web_client/):
- Add security.rs module with Noise handshake implementation
- Add upgrade_client_tunnel() for client-side handshake
- Add Noise frame encryption/decryption via TunnelFilter
- Integrate GetFeature RPC for capability negotiation
- Support secure_mode option to enforce encrypted connections
- Handle graceful fallback for backward compatibility
Server-side (easytier-web/):
- Accept Noise handshake in client_manager
- Expose encryption support via GetFeature RPC
The implementation uses Noise_NN_25519_ChaChaPoly_SHA256 pattern for
encryption without authentication. Provides backward compatibility
with automatic fallback to plaintext connections.
support faketcp to avoid tcp-over-tcp problem.
linux/macos/windows are supported.
better to be used in internet env, the maximum
performance is majorly limited by windivert/raw socket.
This PR fundamentally restructures the EasyTier GUI, introducing support for service mode and remote mode, transforming it from a simple desktop application into a powerful network management terminal. This change allows users to persistently run the EasyTier core as a background service or remotely manage multiple EasyTier instances, greatly improving deployment flexibility and manageability.
* refactor(gui): refactor gui to use RemoteClient trait and RemoteManagement component
* feat(gui): Add network config saving and refactor RemoteManagement
