* feat(peer): support protocol-agnostic attached peers
Add locally attached peers backed by independent, peer-level portable
managers and authenticated in-process ring connections. Carry trusted
connection provenance through packet admission so attached relay
privileges cannot be forged through packet headers.
Let every peer manager own ACL loading, sanitized policy updates, route
refresh, and runtime cleanup. In Secure Mode, grant attached identities
ephemeral credentials instead of sharing administrator and group secrets.
* feat(vpn): add reusable attached-peer portal runtime
Add a protocol-neutral portal runtime that converts authenticated client
sessions into attached EasyTier peers. Own per-client generations,
status, packet forwarding, address translation, and peer cleanup without
knowing the transport protocol.
Add transactional IPv4 source and destination rewriting with correct
IPv4, TCP, UDP, ICMP, and quoted-packet checksum updates. Keep the old
production portal path temporarily active until the WireGuard adapter is
migrated in the next change.
* feat(wireguard): attach named clients through peer portal
Replace the monolithic WireGuard portal with a native adapter that owns
key derivation, UDP demultiplexing, reauthentication, roaming, and
bounded per-client packet queues. Hand authenticated sessions to the
generic portal runtime for peer lifecycle and IPv4 translation.
Move portal configuration into the core instance model, require a
dedicated server key, and preserve existing listener, CLI, and runtime
configuration behavior. Reject runtime address conflicts before
publishing shared configuration.
* feat(vpn): expose per-client portal status
Project configured clients and their runtime state through the portal
RPC, including generated client configuration, listener, peer identity,
endpoint, tunnel address, ACL groups, and errors. Keep private client
configuration out of the broad instance-info response and expose the
explicit RPC through the CLI and Tauri bridge.
* feat(vpn): add portal configuration to web clients
Expose WireGuard portal listener, key, client, ACL group, and runtime
status fields in the shared frontend library, Web dashboard, and Tauri
client. Preserve UUID and uint64 values across protobuf JSON
boundaries, keep dynamic client editor rows stable, and document the
portal workflow.
* test(vpn): cover multi-client and roaming WireGuard portals
Add two three-node integration tests for the WireGuard VPN portal.
The multi-client test connects two kernel WireGuard clients from
separate network namespaces, verifies per-client connectivity to mesh
nodes, and exercises cross-client traffic that runs the IPv4 source
and destination translation in both directions. A TCP echo exchange
through the portal additionally covers the TCP pseudo-header checksum
rewrite path that ICMP-only ping tests miss, and portal status
snapshots must report both clients online with distinct peer ids and
correctly learned tunnel addresses.
The roaming test swaps the client namespace address (delete the old
address, then add the new one) so the kernel WireGuard source cache is
invalidated and the client keeps sending under the same session from
the new source, exactly like a real network change. The portal must
update the client endpoint on the same peer id via the data path
(same generation, no re-handshake, no detach/reconnect) while
connectivity to mesh nodes is preserved.
Supporting changes: run_wireguard_client now takes an interface name,
and the shared namespace topology gains net_f (10.1.2.5) on the portal
bridge for the second client.
Add a small Vite workspace that builds and publishes independently
of the dashboard. Reuse frontend-lib for the form and expose the
existing NetworkConfig conversions through wasm-bindgen.
Initialize the Aura theme in the standalone entry, detect the browser
language, and provide a persistent selector in the form header. Present
Generate Config and Copy Config as the page actions.
Keep the shared network secret field fluid so both form columns align.
Bundle the generator under dist/config-generator in the dashboard
artifact while preserving its standalone build output.
Build the optimized WASM module with the project and remove the
API-backed generator route from the dashboard.
Fix web/frontend compat bugs in managed config & runtime status
- Preserve [[peer]].peer_public_key when TOML configs round-trip
through the web/managed NetworkConfig path
- Keep old peer_urls clients working while adding structured peer
metadata for new clients
- Make frontend protobuf JSON normalization preserve omitted-field
semantics instead of turning missing data into misleading defaults
- Harden runtime status rendering against omitted or string-encoded
backend fields
- Expose peer-route feature flags in the web status UI
* refactor(web): use generated proto network types
* fix(core): preserve dumped config flags
* test(web): cover config flag save paths
* fix(ci): use system protoc before frontend codegen
* fix(ci): serialize frontend-lib builds
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
Addresses security vulnerabilities in axios <1.13.5. Updates the
declared specifier to ^1.13.5 in all three frontend package.json
files and regenerates both npm and pnpm lock files (resolved: 1.13.6).
