v0.2.0

Quota Manager v0.2.0.

Install on the gateway laptop:

sudo apt install ./quota-manager_0.2.0_all.deb

Or, with the apt repository configured (see README):

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install quota-manager

The package configures the network stack, installs the Python
dependencies into /opt/quota-manager/.venv, wires the
quota-gateway systemd service and starts it. See the README for
the post-install router steps (disable DHCP, disable IPv6/RA).

Added

• Separate speed controls for internet vs home network. The Network tab
  splits your real line speed (internet) from the internal transfer rate, so
  limiting the internet doesn't slow down copying files between your own
  devices.
• Mark a person as "unlimited." An exempt user is never cut off, however
  much they use. Manual blocks still apply.
• Turn away anonymous devices. Phones and laptops can hide their identity
  with a "private address"; a new Network-tab option automatically blocks
  brand-new devices that do this (optionally including ones already joined).
• Privacy eye. One click hides sensitive on-screen details — device IDs
  and the saved broadband username/password — useful when someone's looking
  over your shoulder or you're taking a screenshot.
• Guest speed limit. Cap the total bandwidth all guest accounts share.
• Renew your public IP from the dashboard (Strong/WAN mode): a Restart
  button re-dials the line for a fresh IP, with an optional automatic schedule
  (minimum every 5 minutes). Internet blips for a few seconds while it dials.
• Guest account limit + STOP NEW CONNECTIONS. Set a maximum number of
  guest accounts, or refuse every brand-new device outright.

Changed

• Cleaner sidebar: bundle settings merged into the Network tab, system
  logs moved onto the Admin page, and the tab was renamed to just "Network".
• Fresh dashboard look — a dark glass design with a fixed left sidebar,
  two-column device cards, subtle background animation, and cobalt-blue
  accents throughout.
• VPN sharing prefers your real VPN app. If you run a proper VPN app on
  the box, it's used directly with no setup. The automatic helper bridge is
  now only a fallback for apps that need it — no more duplicate tunnels
  fighting over your devices.

Fixed

• Copying files to the box itself was being speed-limited by the internet
  upload cap. Transfers involving the box now run at full home-network speed.
• Home-network transfers were wrongly limited by internet caps in several
  situations (certain settings, or settings left unset). Multiple causes
  found and fixed; local transfers stay fast everywhere.
• Setting one direction to "unlimited" silently disabled the other
  direction's limit too — each direction is now independent.
• A speed cap of "2 Mbps" actually measured about 3 — caps are now
  accurate.
• Brief VPN drop killed sharing for good. If the VPN reconnected, the
  household could lose the shared VPN permanently. Sharing now survives
  reconnects.
• Sharing could send everyone's traffic into a dead fake tunnel (a
  leftover junk device), silently cutting off the whole house. Dead tunnels
  are detected and avoided.
• The VPN share switch forgot it was flipped until you pressed Save, and
  its status text froze on "waiting…" — it now saves instantly and updates
  live.
• The automatic VPN bridge became far more reliable: it installs
  correctly, starts correctly, and — importantly — if your VPN app isn't set
  up for sharing yet, you now get a clear message instead of every device
  silently losing the internet.

Added (late additions)

• Works with v2rayN-style apps automatically. These apps don't create a
  system-level VPN tunnel, so the box now downloads a small verified helper
  (checksum-checked before use) and bridges the household through it —
  nothing to install by hand.
• Cut the box's OWN internet without killing the household VPN. With
  "Gateway OFF", the box keeps only its connection to the VPN server alive,
  so everyone else stays online through the shared tunnel.
