CORE Features

• Traffic diversion control (SIP-CIDR, QoS (dscp), DIP, domain, Geo matching rules)
• eBPF routing
• Independent DNS configuration and caching for each flow (to prevent DNS pollution and leaks)
• Traffic import into Docker containers
• Geo management

Features

✅ Implemented and tested ⚠ Functional but untested ❌ Not implemented

• IP Configuration

  • Static IP

    • ✅ Set IP address
    • ✅ Configure default route via gateway

  • DHCP Client

    • ✅ Specify hostname
    • ❌ Custom DHCP options

  • PPPoE (PPPD version)

    • ✅ Set as default route
    • ⚠ Multi-interface dialing
    • ✅ Specify interface name

  • PPPoE (eBPF version)

    • ✅ Protocol core implemented
    • ❌ GRO/GSO causing oversized packets (unsolved)

  • DHCP Server

    • ✅ Provide basic IP assignment and renewal
    • ✅ Custom gateway/subnet/access rules
    • ✅ IP-MAC binding
    • ✅ IP lease display

  • IPv6 Support

    • ✅ Use DHCPv6-PD to request prefix from upstream
    • ✅ Use RA to advertise prefix to downstream

• Flow Control Module

  • ✅ Tag flows using IP + QoS
  • ✅ Each flow can have its own DNS settings and cache
  • ✅ Route marked traffic based on rules (direct/drop/reuse port/redirect to Docker or NIC)
  • ❌ Assign tracking marks to specified packets
  • ✅ External IP behavior control via tagging and geoip.dat support
  • ✅ When IP rules and DNS rules conflict, the priority of the rules is used for verdict (the smaller the value, the higher the priority)

• Geo Management

  • ✅ Manage multiple Geo sources
  • ✅ Auto-update Geo IP/Site data

• DNS

  • ✅ Support DNS over HTTPS, DNS over TLS and DNS over Quic for upstream
  • ✅ Assign specific upstream DNS by domain
  • ✅ DNS Hijacking (return A / AAAA records)
  • ❌ Hijack to return multiple records (example: TXT / CNAME and other)
  • ✅ Tag resolved IPs and handle with traffic control
  • ✅ Support GeoSite files
  • ❌ Parse Docker container domain labels into DNS records
  • ✅ Test domain resolution

• NAT (eBPF)

  • ✅ Basic NAT support
  • ✅ Static mapping / Port forwarding
  • ✅ NAT disables port reuse by default; reuse allowed via tagging rules

• Metrics

  • ✅ Report connection stats (bytes/packets) every 5 seconds
  • ✅ Display active connections (not yet combined with NAT)
  • ❌ Open export API for metrics

• Docker

  • ✅ Basic Docker container management and runtime
  • ⚠ Pull images
  • ✅ Route traffic into TProxy-enabled containers

• Wi-Fi

  • ✅ Enable/disable Wi-Fi using iw
  • ✅ Create AP with hostapd
  • ❌ Connect to existing Wi-Fi hotspot

• Storage

  • ✅ Use database instead of file-based config
  • ✅ Export all current configs as landscape_init.toml
  • ❌ UI component to upload/restore config
  • ❌ Config editor via UI
  • ❌ Separate DB path for metrics

• Miscellaneous

  • ✅ Login screen
  • ❌ English UI frontend
  • ✅ NIC XPS/RPS optimization to distribute load across CPU cores

How to Start & Limitations

System Requirements

• Supported Linux Kernel: 6.9 or later
• (Optional) docker

Manual Startup

1. Create config directory:

   mkdir -p ~/.landscape-router

2. Download static.zip from release and extract to ~/.landscape-router/static

3. If you have a desktop environment and browser, you can skip this step. Otherwise, refer to Config to create landscape_init.toml

4. Start the service by downloading a release binary from Releases Then run (as root):

   ./landscape-webserver

   Default port: 6300 Default username: root Default password: root Use ./landscape-webserver --help for other options.

5. Once everything is confirmed to work, you can set it up as a systemd service. Create /etc/systemd/system/landscape-router.service with the following content:

   [Unit]
   Description=Landscape Router
   
   [Service]
   ExecStart=/root/landscape-webserver  # remember to modify this path accordingly
   Restart=always
   User=root
   LimitMEMLOCK=infinity
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
