What changed in rc.1

More routers

Reading the router's own page used to work on the Huawei HG630 V2 only. It is now a set of drivers; the app finds which one fits your router by itself and the router card says which one is in use:

Huawei (huawei-hg): HG630 V2 as before, and the same family: HG633, HG659, HG658, DG8045. Gateways without a DSL page still give the model, connection and data counters.
TR-064 (tr064): the standard many routers speak (FRITZ!Box, Zyxel and others): data counters (64-bit where offered), DSL speed, noise margin and attenuation, connection status and uptime. Tried without a password first; the saved password is used only if the router asks for one.
ZTE, trial (zte-new): newer ZXHN / F6xx firmware: DSL speed, noise margin, attenuation, internet connection status and model. No data counters on this generation yet. Marked "trial" until someone confirms it on a real router.

The same safety rules apply to every driver: only addresses on your home network, a rejected password is never retried (ZTE routers lock you out after a few wrong tries), and the app signs out after each read. If no driver fits, the card says the router isn't supported yet. How drivers work and how to add one: docs/routers.md.

Help us support your router

Settings → App → "Help us support your router" builds a report of what your router offers: its make, model and software version, the features it answers, and the names of the pages and fields its login page uses. Serial numbers, MAC addresses, Wi-Fi names and keys, your public IP, user names, passwords, cookies, phone numbers, emails and device names are removed before you see it. You read it in full, then download it or open a prefilled GitHub issue and attach it; the app never uploads it. An optional box lets it sign in once with your saved password, for routers it already knows, and note the names and kinds of the details returned, never their values.

FAQ, website and videos

Three new FAQ answers, in all five languages: which routers it works with, how data usage is measured (the whole house's traffic through the router, download plus upload, from the renewal day, from the router's own counters), and what the router report sends and to whom.
The website's home page and guide mention that the app reads many routers and how to ask for yours. Its What's new page no longer shows a released version as "Next release": only previews newer than the latest release are listed there.
The Overview and Settings video tours cover the new router lines and the router report.

Privacy

The privacy policy now says the app checks whether your router speaks TR-064 (on your home network only), and how the router report works.

How to test

Huawei HG630 V2 with the password saved: the router card says it reads the router's own page (Huawei) and shows the same figures as in 2.0.4.
Any other router with UPnP on: the card shows the UPnP figures, and either names a driver or says the router isn't supported yet with a link to the report.
Settings → App → "Help us support your router" → Create report: read it and check there's no serial number, MAC address, Wi-Fi name, public IP or password in it. "Open a GitHub issue" opens a prefilled issue with the router's model.
A ZTE ZXHN router (WE, Vodafone, Etisalat…) with its password: the card says "ZTE, trial" and shows the line speed and noise margin. Please also attach a report.
A FRITZ!Box or another TR-064 router: the card says TR-064 and shows data usage.

Known limits

Huawei HG633/HG659/HG658/DG8045, TR-064 and ZTE were built from public documentation and tested against simulated routers only; each needs a real router to confirm.
Not supported yet, and why, in docs/routers.md: Huawei EchoLife fiber ONTs, older ZTE firmware (Frm_Logintoken / getpage.gch) and TP-Link. Their sign-in or status pages aren't documented well enough to build safely, and a wrong guess can lock you out of the router. The router report is how we'll add them.

November 2026

New15
- A Complaints page built on your measurements: outages, downtime and speed against your plan for the 7 days before you complained and since, a ready-to-send complaint text, a proof file (ZIP), and the right next step for Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UK or the US.
- Your router: the app reads your router's status and, on Huawei HG630 V2 and similar routers, its own page if you add its password. You see the line speed, the noise margin and why the last disconnect happened, and every outage says whether the provider's line, the internet session or the router was at fault.
- Data plan: enter your monthly limit and renewal day to see how much you've used, whether it will last, and get an alert at 80% and 100%.
- “What your data says”: plain tips from your own data, and a weekly reminder to complain when the line keeps dropping and no complaint is open.
- An outage timeline for the last 24 hours or 7 days on the overview, and a weekly summary every Monday.
- The report estimates what the provider's downtime cost you and shows which hours of the day the line drops most.
- Each finished day of records is closed with a digital seal, with an optional trusted timestamp, so anyone can check nothing was changed.
- Outages record whether you were on Wi-Fi or cable, spot power cuts, and trace where the route stopped when the line dropped.
- The speed test grades how much slower replies get while the line is busy, from A+ to F, with tips to fix a poor grade.
- Alerts through ntfy and any webhook, as well as Discord, Slack and Telegram.
- A version for a Raspberry Pi, a home server or Docker that watches the line around the clock; open it from your phone with a QR code.
- French, Turkish and Urdu.
- A short narrated video for every page, opened with the “How this page works” button.
- A Mac installer: open the .dmg file and drag the app to Applications, on any Mac.
- A website in five languages with the download, a step-by-step guide with pictures, and the videos: khaymah.github.io/internet-monitor.
Improved3
- Plainer words everywhere: Response time, Fluctuation and Data loss, and “the small icon next to the clock”.
- The monthly report lists the time nothing was being checked, compares your speed tests with your plan, and downloads with every record and a checksum file.
- You can turn off the automatic update check, and Settings shows how much data the speed test uses.
Fixed2
- Reading the router's page works with routers that only offer an old HTTPS setup, and the router test says why it failed.
- A proof file for a range that crossed midnight could leave out the last day's records.
Security2
- The router password is only ever sent to an address on your home network, is never shown again after saving, and a rejected password is not retried.
- When the dashboard is opened to your home network, it still needs its private key and only answers requests addressed to it.

October 2026

New12
- A new dashboard with live status, a plain-language diagnosis, a latency chart, jitter, packet loss, and availability for today, 7 days and 30 days.
- A History screen with a log for each day, filters, and CSV export for one day, 7 days or 30 days.
- A monthly report page with “Print or save as PDF”, ready to send to your internet provider.
- A Speed test screen with a live gauge, today's runs, scheduled tests and an alert threshold.
- Dark and light themes with a circular reveal when you switch, plus full Arabic and English with a right-to-left layout.
- In-app pages: What's new, FAQ, Privacy and Terms of use.
- A new, gentler default alert sound.
- Notification controls: turn the sound on or off and set its volume, set quiet hours, pick which events go to desktop, webhook or Telegram, skip short outages, and get reminders while the connection stays down.
- A notification bell and a Notifications page that list every alert, where it was sent, and what was held back and why.
- After an update, a short window shows what changed in the new version.
- A new license, the Elastic License 2.0: the app is still free for personal and commercial use and its code is still public.
- A Support us page with PayPal, Vodafone Cash and InstaPay, for anyone who wants to help keep the app free.
Improved14
- Settings shows whether your custom sound is active and how long it is, with “Try the sound” and “Play like a real alert”.
- Settings save safely even when two windows change them at once, and warn you before leaving with unsaved changes.
- The layout works in phone-size windows.
- Windows alerts show the connection status icon and an Open button, and a new connection alert replaces the previous one instead of piling up.
- Webhook and Telegram messages are written in the app's language.
- Every chart shows exact values on hover, tap or keyboard focus.
- The monthly report prints in the same theme you see on screen.
- Every drop-down is a new picker with search, keyboard and touch support, and correct right-to-left placement.
- What's new is grouped by month, with a side map to jump between releases.
- FAQ answers link straight to the setting they mention and highlight it for you.
- Error messages say what actually went wrong, and availability never rounds up to 100% when there was downtime.
- The Arabic interface, alerts and Webhook/Telegram messages are now written in everyday Egyptian Arabic.
- The language button in the top bar is a single icon, which leaves more room on phones.
- Response times read naturally: milliseconds under a second, then seconds, then minutes (1.06 s instead of 1,057 ms), in the app, alerts and Webhook/Telegram messages.
Fixed2
- Uploaded custom alert sounds silently fell back to the default. Uploads are now checked and converted, and the sound you upload is the one that plays.
- The auto-updater no longer picks the window (GUI) build for a tray install.
Security4
- The dashboard is reachable only from this computer and needs a private key that changes daily, so an open dashboard reconnects on its own after the app restarts. Open it from the tray menu or the app window.
- Your webhook URL and Telegram token are never sent back to the browser. Settings shows them as “Saved — hidden”.
- Webhook URLs must use https and point to Discord or Slack.
- Updates download only from GitHub, and the Go networking and crypto libraries were updated.

June 2026

Improved1

- Scheduled automatic speed tests.
- Telegram notifications, and system notifications in your chosen language.
- Tells DNS, website and full outages apart, says whether the problem is your local network or your provider, and adds optional ICMP ping, jitter and a Prometheus /metrics endpoint.
- Availability widget, copy summary, and CSV export for a date range.
Improved2
- Settings changes apply right away, without a restart.
- One sound player for every alert. The previous sound always stops first, so chimes never overlap, and uploaded MP3s are converted so system notifications can play them.
Fixed2
- Outages that cross into a new month are counted correctly in both months.
- More accurate latency, captive-portal (login page) detection, uptime, and fewer false alarms at startup. Speed tests no longer race.
Security2
- Downloaded updates are checked against the release's SHA256SUMS before they're installed.
- The local dashboard API is protected against cross-site requests and oversized requests.
