ExitLane 0.2.0

ExitLane 0.2.0

ExitLane 0.2.0 is the first stable release after the alpha, beta, and release-candidate cycle. It turns a Debian appliance into a self-hosted network-egress gateway with a focused browser-based management experience.

What is included

• NordVPN management on a provider-neutral abstraction foundation, with country and latency-based selection.
• WireGuard ingress, VPN killswitch protection, dashboard status, traffic visibility, health monitoring, and connection diagnostics.
• Managed Ookla Speedtest as an explicit confirmed action, with download, upload, and ping results.
• Authentication hardening with MFA, recovery codes, and session management.
• Encrypted backup and restore, transactional upgrades, protected recovery snapshots, and automatic rollback on failed upgrades.
• Integrated administrator documentation and N/L Foundry UX and design-system alignment.

Platform and assurance

The supported baseline is Debian 13 amd64, including Proxmox LXC deployments with the documented networking capabilities. Appliance and application timezone state now remain consistent through Settings, startup reconciliation, upgrades, and rollback.

This stable tree passed backend and frontend tests, package and dependency audits, CodeQL, supply-chain and secrets checks, ZAP passive scanning, clean-install and upgrade qualification, rollback injection, and live reference-appliance validation.

Direct Internet exposure remains unsupported. Deploy the management interface on a trusted network and use the documented HTTPS reverse-proxy configuration when remote browser access is required.
