CiciPDA 2.2.0

What's new

DNS fix - the "connected but no internet" problem

  • While connected, Windows now resolves names only through the tunnel's DNS servers. Windows normally asks every adapter's DNS server at once and accepts the first answer, so an empty answer from another adapter produced "The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found" and made all internet checks fail. CiciPDA adds a temporary DNS policy rule named "CiciPDA" and removes it on disconnect, on exit and by crash recovery. It can be switched off in Settings (Resolve all names only through the tunnel).
  • The DNS cache is flushed once and DNS is retried before it counts as failed.
  • If the internet checks still fail, the error includes an isolation report (direct TCP to 1.1.1.1:443, a UDP DNS query to the configured server, relay and adapter counters).

Wi-Fi sharing is now visible and controllable

  • New Wi-Fi sharing card on the Connect page: on/off switch, network name, masked password with Show/Copy, plain-language state, connected-device count, Start/Stop buttons.

Updates

  • The header Update pill shows the download percentage and a progress bar, then Verifying and Installing, and cannot be pressed twice.
  • New Check for updates button in the header.
  • A What's new card on the Help page and a CHANGELOG.md.

Reliability

  • A failed connection no longer blocks the next one (leftover adapter is reused; the packet engine is stopped gracefully).

Installs to C:\Program Files\CiciByte\CiciPDA. Publisher: CiciByte Technology, Inc. (https://cicibyte.com). Android companion 2.1.3 is unchanged.

Platform Files
Windows x64 CiciPDA-2.2.0-windows-x64-Setup.exe, update-windows-x64.json + .sig (legacy alias update.json + .sig)
Android companion cicipda-companion.apk, companion.json + .sig
Linux / macOS Not available

Not yet confirmed on hardware: the DNS fix is based on the most likely cause and has not been run on a real machine; Wi-Fi sharing has never started on a real connection. Installer is not Authenticode-signed (SmartScreen may warn). Not a full layer-3 VPN and not WireGuard.

Türkçe

DNS düzeltmesi: bağlıyken Windows isimleri yalnızca tünelin DNS sunucularından çözer (geçici "CiciPDA" politika kuralı, bağlantı kesilince kaldırılır). Wi-Fi paylaşım kartı, ilerleme gösteren Update düğmesi ve "Check for updates" düğmesi eklendi. Gerçek cihazda henüz doğrulanmadı.
