Quota Manager v0.3.1.
Install on the gateway laptop:
sudo apt install ./quota-manager_0.3.1_all.debOr, with the apt repository configured (see README):
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install quota-managerThe 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
- Keep specific devices out of the shared VPN. While "VPN share" is on,
you can now mark any device — or every device belonging to one person — to
keep using the normal connection instead of the VPN. Perfect for a gaming
console or work laptop. The change takes effect immediately. - The box now repairs itself after startup. On every boot the gateway
checks its own important network settings and puts back anything that went
missing (for example after a system update). A failed repair is noted in
the log but never prevents the gateway from starting. - Your own devices can't be locked out by the built-in attack filter.
Computers and phones inside your home network are never blocked by the
automatic attack protection, even in Strong (WAN) mode — so the dashboard
stays reachable even if something misfires.
Changed
- Speed settings made simpler. The advanced low-delay tuning options are
gone — the best configuration (smooth video calls, low lag for everyone)
is now always on automatically, with nothing to adjust by hand. The Network
tab keeps only the everyday controls: the master switch, your line's real
speeds, per-person/per-device limits, and the home-network transfer rate.
Removed
- The "Wi-Fi or cable" labels on device cards are gone — along with the
router-querying feature behind them. There was simply no reliable way to
know from the gateway box how a device connects, so the labels were often
wrong. The online/offline light still works as before.
Fixed
- Devices no longer stay stuck on the OLD VPN server. Previously, if you
changed your VPN server or app, the household's devices kept using the old
server (and showed the old location) while the box itself used the new one
— sometimes forever. Now devices automatically follow the newest connection
within about 15 seconds. If anything ever looks stuck, switching VPN share
off and back on forces a clean re-detection. - Online lights went gray while devices were actually online. Two bugs
made devices appear offline (gray light) even though they were browsing
normally. Both fixed — the lights now match reality. - Newly connected devices show as online much faster — roughly 20 seconds
after joining instead of up to 50. - HTTPS survives moving or copying the program folder. If the settings
file loses its HTTPS entries but the certificate is still on disk, secure
HTTPS is switched back on automatically at startup. - VPN sharing now works reliably with more VPN apps, including ones that
don't give their tunnel a normal network address, and apps (like nekoray)
that used to connect and disconnect over and over.
