RouterPilot v2.3.1

🚀 RouterPilot v2.3.1

RouterPilot v2.3.1 is a maintenance and VPN management update, bringing more control over GL.iNet VPN connections alongside a number of reliability and state-handling improvements.

🔐 VPN Management

• Added Connect / Disconnect controls for configured GL.iNet VPN client tunnels.
• Added direct Tailscale Enable / Disable controls.
• Added Allow LAN Access controls for Tailscale.
• Added Allow WAN Access controls for Tailscale.
• Improved VPN tunnel and profile discovery directly from the router.
• Improved same-page state reconciliation after VPN configuration changes.
• Configuration state and live VPN connection state are now tracked independently for more accurate reporting.

🛡️ Tailscale Improvements

• Tailscale changes now update directly on the VPN page without requiring navigation away and back.
• Improved preservation of Tailscale connection information during other VPN operations.
• Fixed Tailscale connection statistics disappearing when connecting or disconnecting another VPN tunnel.
• Improved handling of Tailscale configuration and runtime state during refreshes.

🔄 VPN Reliability

• Fixed configured VPN tunnels disappearing when optional profile or runtime information could not be retrieved.
• Improved VPN inventory loading so available tunnel information can be displayed independently of optional enrichment.
• Improved handling of connection and disconnection transitions.
• VPN disconnects now correctly transition through Disconnecting → Off.
• Improved protection against stale VPN results overwriting newer connection state.
• Improved recovery when optional VPN status information is temporarily unavailable.

🔎 Read-Only VPN Information

RouterPilot continues to expose additional VPN information where available, including details such as:

• Kill switch state
• Local access state
• Masquerade state
• VPN protocol and interface
• Profile and group information
• Runtime connection status

Settings without a sufficiently verified GL.iNet write interface remain read-only rather than risking unsupported router configuration changes.

🔐 VPN + AdGuard Home testers wanted

I'm particularly interested in users running policy-based VPN routing together
with AdGuard Home.

RouterPilot obtains normal client identity independently of AdGuard Home.

Per-client DNS statistics, however, depend on the client's DNS traffic being
visible to AdGuard Home.

If your VPN policy, direct encrypted DNS, or another DNS path bypasses AdGuard,
RouterPilot may correctly show DNS statistics as unavailable.

When reporting this, please include:

• Router model
• GL.iNet firmware version
• VPN protocol/type
• Whether policy-based VPN routing is enabled
• Whether AdGuard Home is enabled
• Whether AdGuard is configured to handle client DNS requests
• Whether RouterPilot shows the client normally
• Whether RouterPilot shows per-client DNS statistics

---

🌐 Tailscale

RouterPilot can now display read-only Tailscale information from supported
GL.iNet routers.

Please test:

• Connection status
• Device name
• Tailscale IP
• DNS name
• Version
• Peer information
• Refresh behaviour

---

🌡️ Router Health

RouterPilot now includes router temperature information in System Health.

Flint 2 / GL-MT6000 users are particularly welcome to verify that the
temperature agrees with the existing System Details reading.

---

🧪 What else to test

Please report:

• Crashes or errors
• Incorrect or duplicate clients
• Refresh problems
• Search/filter problems
• Multi-router switching problems

These changes provide stronger separation between routers and reduce the possibility of stale information from one router appearing after switching to another.

---

🔐 Router Profiles & SSH

Router profiles now provide more flexible SSH connection options.

• Added configurable SSH ports for individual router profiles.
• Added per-router SSH authentication methods.
• Added support for password authentication.
• Added support for private-key authentication.
• Added support for private-key passphrases where required.
• SSH credentials and configuration remain isolated between router profiles.

RouterPilot v2.0.3

🩺 RouterPilot v2.0.3

RouterPilot v2.0.3 is a focused bug-fix and reliability release improving Network Health accuracy, firmware status, navigation, optional AdGuard Home monitoring, and state-change logging.

This release focuses on making RouterPilot's health reporting more accurate and ensuring normal startup or optional-service states aren't incorrectly reported as problems.

---

🩺 Network Health

• Fixed inconsistent Network Health status between the Dashboard and Network → Health.
• Improved health-state initialization and propagation to prevent stale or conflicting results.
• Fixed a startup recursion issue that could cause RouterPilot to terminate with a System.StackOverflowException.
• Clicking the Dashboard Network Health status now takes you directly to Network → Health.
• Removed redundant Network Health navigation where the health status itself already provides direct access.

---

📡 Firmware Health

• Fixed Firmware Health remaining indefinitely on Checking....
• Firmware Health now follows RouterPilot's authoritative GL.iNet firmware state.
• The Firmware View action now opens Maintenance → Firmware directly.
• Fixed false Router firmware changed log entries caused by comparing GL.iNet firmware information with separate LuCI/OpenWrt release information.
• Initial firmware discovery at startup is no longer incorrectly treated as a firmware change.

---

🛡️ AdGuard Home & Router Health

AdGuard Home remains completely optional.

• Added an explicit setting to control whether AdGuard Home contributes to Router Health.
• Users who don't run AdGuard Home can exclude it from the overall health calculation.
• When excluded, AdGuard Home no longer reduces the Router Health percentage or causes Needs Attention.
• When enabled, genuine AdGuard Home availability problems can still contribute to Router Health.
• The preference is persisted between sessions.
• Improved health descriptions to better distinguish an intentionally unused service from a genuine availability problem.

This means a router that is otherwise healthy can report 100% Healthy without requiring AdGuard Home to be running.

---

🌐 Network & Activity Logging

Several misleading activity-log events have been corrected.

• Fixed the misleading data refresh delayed network warning during normal transient or optional-service conditions.
• Fixed false Public IP changed events being generated during application startup.
• VPN being inactive no longer causes RouterPilot to incorrectly report that the public IP changed.
• VPN state transitions no longer masquerade as Public IP changes when the actual IP remains the same.
• Initial discovery of the current Public IP is treated as startup initialization rather than an IP-change event.
• Genuine Public IP changes continue to be reported normally.

---

⚙️ Reliability Improvements

• Improved separation between initialization state and genuine state changes.
• Change notifications now more accurately compare established values rather than treating initial data discovery as a change.
• Existing router communication behaviour is preserved without introducing additional polling.

---

🙏 Thanks

A special thank you to Lastimosa for highlighting the Network Health issue and the misleading data refresh delayed log entry addressed in this release.

Community feedback continues to help make RouterPilot more reliable across different router configurations.
