- add lazy_p2p so nodes only start background P2P for peers that actually have recent business traffic
- add need_p2p so specific peers can still request eager background P2P even when other nodes enable lazy mode
- cover the new behavior with focused connector/peer-manager tests plus three-node integration tests that verify relay-to-direct route transition
- add credential manager and RPC/CLI for generate/list/revoke
- support credential-based Noise authentication and revocation handling
- propagate trusted credential metadata through OSPF route sync
- classify direct peers by auth level in session maintenance
- normalize sender credential flag for legacy non-secure compatibility
- add unit/integration tests for credential join, relay and revocation
Use noise protocol on handshake. Check peer's public key if needed. Also support rekey and replay attack prevention.
E2EE and temporary password will be implemented based on this.
This change introduces a major refactoring of the RPC service layer to improve modularity, unify the API, and simplify the overall architecture.
Key changes:
- Replaced per-network-instance RPC services with a single global RPC server, reducing resource usage and simplifying management.
- All clients (CLI, Web UI, etc.) now interact with EasyTier core through a unified RPC entrypoint, enabling consistent authentication and control.
- RPC implementation logic has been moved to `easytier/src/rpc_service/` and organized by functionality (e.g., `instance_manage.rs`, `peer_manage.rs`, `config.rs`) for better maintainability.
- Standardized Protobuf API definitions under `easytier/src/proto/` with an `api_` prefix (e.g., `cli.proto` → `api_instance.proto`) to provide a consistent interface.
- CLI commands now require explicit `--instance-id` or `--instance-name` when multiple network instances are running; the parameter is optional when only one instance exists.
BREAKING CHANGE:
RPC portal configuration (`rpc_portal` and `rpc_portal_whitelist`) has been removed from per-instance configs and the Web UI. The RPC listen address must now be specified globally via the `--rpc-portal` command-line flag or the `ET_RPC_PORTAL` environment variable, as there is only one RPC service for the entire application.
* refactor: update global context STUN server initialization
Modified global context initialization to use a single StunInfoCollector
instance with properly configured IPv4 and IPv6 servers instead of
creating separate instances.
feat: add IPv6 STUN server configuration support
Added interface methods and config struct fields to support both IPv4
and IPv6 STUN server configuration. Modified getter and setter methods
to handle Option<Vec<String>> type for both server types.
feat: enhance StunInfoCollector with IPv6 support
Updated StunInfoCollector to support both IPv4 and IPv6 STUN servers.
Added new constructor that accepts both server types and methods to set
them independently.
feat: add CLI argument for IPv6 STUN servers
Added command line argument support for configuring IPv6 STUN servers.
Updated configuration setup to handle both IPv4 and IPv6 STUN server
settings.
docs: add localization for STUN server configuration
Added English and Chinese localization strings for the new STUN server
configuration options, including both IPv4 and IPv6 variants.
