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.
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.
- Add short column names for latency, loss rate, rx/tx bytes, tunnel protocol and NAT type
- Format loss rate as percentage with one decimal place
- Change table style from modern to markdown for better readability
* Add proto definition
* Implement and register the corresponding rpc service
* Parse command line parameters and call remote rpc service

QUIC proxy works like kcp proxy, it can proxy TCP streams and transfer data with QUIC.
QUIC has better congestion algorithm (BBR) for network with both high loss rate and high bandwidth.
QUIC proxy can be enabled by passing `--enable-quic-proxy` to easytier in the client side. The proxy status can be viewed by `easytier-cli proxy`.
* support ipv6 stun
* show interface and public ip in cli node info
* direct conn should keep trying unless already direct connected
* peer should use conn with smallest latency
* deprecate ipv6_listener, use -l instead
* Support running as a Windows service.
* Optimize startup logic contro
* When running in a Windows service environment, delegate the termination of the program to the win_service_event_loop function.
* Remove the use of std::ffi::OsString at the top.
* Support service manager
* Move the service-related features to be implemented in easytier-cli.
* Add a command line option work-dir to specify the working directory
Adjust the error handling logic
This patch implement a restful server without any auth.
usage:
```bash
# run easytier-web, which acts as an gateway and registry for all easytier-core
$> easytier-web
# run easytier-core and connect to easytier-web with a token
$> easytier-core --config-server udp://127.0.0.1:22020/fdsafdsa
# use restful api to list session
$> curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET 127.0.0.1:11211/api/v1/sessions
[{"token":"fdsafdsa","client_url":"udp://127.0.0.1:48915","machine_id":"de3f5b8f-0f2f-d9d0-fb30-a2ac8951d92f"}]%
# use restful api to run a network instance
$> curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST 127.0.0.1:11211/api/v1/network/de3f5b8f-0f2f-d9d0-fb30-a2ac8951d92f -d '{"config": "listeners = [\"udp://0.0.0.0:12344\"]"}'
# use restful api to get network instance info
$> curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET 127.0.0.1:11211/api/v1/network/de3f5b8f-0f2f-d9d0-fb30-a2ac8951d92f/65437e50-b286-4098-a624-74429f2cb839

this patch optimize the udp hole punch logic:
1. allow start punch hole before stun test complete.
2. add lock to symmetric punch, avoid conflict between concurrent hole punching task.
3. support punching hole for predictable nat4-nat4.
4. make backoff of retry reasonable
This patch removes Tarpc & Tonic GRPC and implements a customized rpc framework, which can be used by peer rpc and cli interface.
web config server can also use this rpc framework.
moreover, rewrite the public server logic, use ospf route to implement public server based networking. this make public server mesh possible.
