Keep mobile address and route claims in dispatcher tables without
applying desktop interface configuration to synthetic TUN names.
Limit the Magic DNS overlap exemption to route claims and remove the
shared route retry that bypassed claim accounting after invalidation.
Invalidate and stop dispatchers on failed mobile TUN replacement or I/O.
Bound TUN writes so stalled devices release pending source updates and
member cleanup instead of retaining an unusable shared dispatcher.
Treat missing Darwin and Windows addresses and routes as successful
deletions while preserving permission and other configuration errors.
Add regressions for claim conflicts, mobile configuration, failed TUN
replacement, stalled writes, and platform deletion error handling.
Share a named TUN across instances while keeping unnamed devices
dedicated. Track member addresses, routes, and MTU, and reject
overlapping destinations except the common Magic DNS host route.
Dispatch packets between the physical TUN and member tunnels. Keep
IPv4 and ordinary IPv6 source translation for mobile wrong-source
traffic. Update platform configuration and runtime host integration,
with unit and network namespace coverage for routing and lifecycle.
Use smoltcp for packet parsing and checksum updates. Keep core CI
matrix jobs independent.
Reserve native inbound flows before source translations allocate their
wire tuples. Keep active reservations under table pressure and leave
forwarded subnet traffic outside the local flow table.
Complete interface claim updates on the shared runtime and retain member
registrations until the transaction commits. Keep address, route, and
MTU cleanup ordered after cancelled callers, including device
initialization.
Project mobile VPN addresses, routes, and DNS from admitted native
members. Prefer unchanged attached claims and report conflicting members
individually. Apply each member's complete initial claims before opening
the shared fd, so conflicts leave healthy members usable.
Cover inbound IPv4/IPv6 collisions, cancellation during native changes
and dispatcher acknowledgments, admission priority, and atomic mobile
claim rejection with regression tests.
Use scoped TestNetwork fixtures for shared TUN bridge setup and cleanup.
Resolve public IPv6 namespace aliases through the lab's actual names so
the new tests remain isolated under parallel upstream test runs.
Add a native EasyTier proof-of-concept binary with TCP and UDP
transports, TUN, UDP hole punching, AES-GCM, and a read-only RPC
portal.
Introduce a release-derived mini profile and musl linker policy so
x86_64, big-endian MIPS, and little-endian MIPS stay below the strict
5,000,000-byte target without UPX.
* perf(core): make data-plane idle check constant time
Avoid scanning every DashMap shard for each peer packet when no data-plane flows are active.
Publish the flow count before insertion and release it after removal so an Acquire load is a safe O(1) idle signal. Reject count overflow and underflow instead of silently saturating.
* test(perf): add repeatable two-node netns benchmark
Create isolated underlay namespaces, pin both EasyTier cores and iperf3 endpoints, and measure a single TCP flow in both directions over either UDP or TCP peer transport.
Keep every iperf3 JSON result and emit directional medians while cleaning up processes and namespaces on every exit path.
* perf(tcp): preserve native owned stream halves
Let each VirtualTcpSocket adapter consume itself into independent read and write halves. Portable adapters retain the generic shared split as a default.
Use lock-free Tokio owned halves for native TCP and Unix streams so tunnel I/O no longer takes the generic split mutex on every poll. Cover full-duplex traffic and write-half shutdown.
* perf(packet): preserve ownership across the Host seam
Introduce an opaque, move-only HostPacket that retains core packet storage while exposing only the raw IP payload. Clear private headers before handing storage back to a native TUN adapter.
Use an ownership-preserving bounded channel for native ingress and egress. Keep explicit copy adapters for Vec and WASI boundaries, and verify allocation identity, backpressure, shutdown, and end-to-end delivery.
* perf(udp): preserve packet ownership through sessions
Carry EasyTier tunnel packets through UDP session queues as owned values. Reuse the existing tunnel header for session framing instead of copying payloads into a second packet and rebuilding them on receive.
Keep completion delivery for the public datagram socket API while removing the unused completion channel from streaming tunnel sends. Avoid the unconditional receive-side clone before QUIC routing is known.
* perf(peer): publish packet filters as immutable snapshots
Replace per-packet async and synchronous registry locks with ArcSwap snapshots. Permanent filters now need no activity checks, while managed registrations retain explicit acquire/release visibility.
Closing a managed registration marks it inactive before atomically removing it. Existing snapshots keep in-flight filters alive, and registration mutations prune inactive entries while preserving newest-first order.
* perf(instance): give native hosts direct packet egress
Let the core create one bounded HostPacket channel and transfer its receiver directly to a PacketEgressHost during startup. Native TUN runtimes now consume that receiver without the intermediate PacketSink channel and forwarding task.
Keep PacketSinkEgress as the compatibility adapter for callback and test hosts, and make receiver installation one-shot across desktop, mobile, and disabled runtimes.
* perf(crypto): restore accelerated native AEAD backends
Move Ring and OpenSSL implementations behind the core Encryptor seam.
Portable builds continue selecting only supported backends.
Restore historical precedence: OpenSSL, Ring, then RustCrypto. Keep
backend availability consistent across secure transports and cover
fixed-nonce wire compatibility between implementations.
* perf(udp): receive native datagrams into owned buffers
Extend the portable UDP socket seam with an owned-datagram receive path.
Keep a compatible default for portable hosts. Native Unix sockets write
recvmsg output directly into the final BytesMut allocation.
This removes the per-packet stack-to-heap copy introduced by the portable
socket boundary without exposing native socket resources to core.
* perf(data-plane): remove portable hot-path overhead
Restore native throughput lost while generalizing the host and UDP
session layers.
Read packet policy once per send, update traffic counters through
registry guards, and preserve packet ownership while UDP dispatch
borrows stable session state.
Move UDP shutdown monitoring into a control task so forwarding avoids
a select future per packet. Bound native datagram storage to 8 KiB,
reject oversized sends, and drop truncated Unix receives.
Keep accelerated AEAD selection warning-free when portable crypto
features are also built. Cover session bounds, truncation, and idle
shutdown with regression tests.
* fix(udp): preserve portable datagram receive semantics
Keep the public portable receive capacity at the theoretical UDP
maximum instead of silently shrinking it to the native fast-path limit.
Apply the 8 KiB session boundary after a complete portable receive,
so Windows cannot turn an oversized datagram into a fatal listener
error and other adapters cannot dispatch a truncated prefix.
Cover dropping an oversized packet while the same portable socket
continues to deliver the following valid datagram.
* fix(ci): align feature gating with backend selection
Compile the Ring implementation in production only when OpenSSL is not
selected, while retaining it for cross-backend unit tests.
Remove stale test imports and assert UDP dispatch results so the strict
workspace Clippy job passes without suppressing diagnostics.
Create easytier-core as the portable owner of configuration,
connectivity, tunnels, peer and routing state, gateways, management,
the data plane, and instance lifecycle. Keep operating-system
integration, native protocol engines, process startup, and presentation
in easytier behind explicit Host capability adapters.
Create easytier-proto to own schemas, generated RPC types, descriptors,
and feature-scoped protocol slices. Remove runtime protobuf reflection
from core while preserving unknown route-peer fields across forwarding.
Normalize instance construction through CoreInstance, CoreHostAdapters,
CoreProcessRuntime, and InstanceManager. Make the runtime config store
the only authoritative mutable configuration after startup.
Move the portable TCP/UDP data plane into core and extract a generic
OperationBroker for completion, cancellation, disposal, and capacity
accounting. Expose the session-based FFI v2 completion API and keep the
WASI guest ABI, wire schemas, and adapters with core.
Migrate CLI, GUI, web, FFI, Android JNI, OHOS, uptime, and mobile
consumers to the shared manager and core state. Add explicit user/web
config ownership and revision-aware web reconciliation.
Preserve configuration, wire, and management behavior while fixing
regressions discovered by the full platform and integration matrix:
- inherit advertised relay capabilities in foreign networks;
- refresh OSPF peer state immediately after runtime config changes;
- restore CLI GlobalCtx event output without forcing GUI logging;
- retain legacy encryption names and standalone RPC tunnel metadata;
- restore ICMP host composition and fragmented UDP handling;
- use portable 64-bit atomics on 32-bit MIPS targets; and
- retain discarded operations until late cancellation completes.
Validate the refactor across 45 GitHub checks, including Linux, macOS,
Windows, FreeBSD, web, GUI, Android, OHOS, feature profiles, and
three-node and subnet-proxy integration tests.
BREAKING CHANGE: internal Rust module paths are not preserved. Legacy
native data-plane APIs are replaced by the session-based FFI v2 API.
The dedicated Android data-plane wrapper is removed.
Normalize composite tunnel display values before rendering peer and
debug output so IPv6 tunnel types no longer append `6` to the port.
- Preserve prefixes like `txt-` while converting tunnel schemes to
their IPv6 form.
- Recover malformed values such as `txt-tcp://...:110106` into
`txt-tcp6://...:11010`.
- Reuse the normalized remote address display in CLI debug output.
- 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
Magic DNS updates are full snapshots, so appending routes keeps old IPs and returns duplicate A records. Replace each client's previous routes on update and add a regression test to ensure hostname resolution keeps only the latest IP.
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.
To resolve issue #1419, DNS request packets are read directly and responses are sent back internally instead of being forwarded to the listening port.
The DNS service on fake_ip (100.100.100.101) no longer supports DNS-over-TCP.

1. dns resolver should be global unique so dns cache can work. avoid dns query influence hole punching.
2. when system dns failed, fallback to hickory dns.
This patch implements:
1. A dns server that handles .et.net. zone in local and forward all other queries to system dns server.
2. A dns server instance which is a singleton in one machine, using one specific tcp port to be exclusive with each other. this instance is responsible for config system dns and run the dns server to handle dns queries.
3. A dns client instance that all easytier instance will run one, this instance will try to connect to dns server instance, and update the dns record in the dns server instance.
this pr only implements the system config for windows. linux & mac will do later.
