# luci-app-zt-gateway
|
|
|
|
A LuCI application for OpenWRT that lets users switch which remote ZeroTier node
|
|
acts as the internet exit gateway for WIBLAN clients (`10.11.13.0/24`).
|
|
|
|
Users select a region/gateway, choose a switch mode, and the app reconfigures
|
|
kernel routing, conntrack, hotplug scripts, and UCI network routes with minimal
|
|
disruption.
|
|
|
|
## Switch modes
|
|
|
|
- **Force** — instant cutover (~1-2s disruption); existing connections break and
|
|
clients auto-reconnect through the new gateway. Flushes conntrack for the
|
|
WIBLAN subnet.
|
|
- **Graceful drain** — zero disruption; existing connections keep using the old
|
|
gateway via fwmark + a drain routing table, while new connections go through
|
|
the new gateway immediately. Auto-falls-back to a force switch after a
|
|
configurable timeout if drain does not complete.
|
|

## Status
|
|
|
|
> **Planning / pre-implementation.**
|
|
|
|
The full design — file structure, UCI config schema, rpcd backend (ucode),
|
|
`zt-gateway-switch` shell script, LuCI frontend, switch logic for both modes,
|
|
persistence model, health checks, rollback/safety, Docker macvlan test harness,
|
|
and build/install instructions — is the source of truth in:
|
|
|
|
[`docs/.omp/plans/zerotier-gateway-switching.md`](.omp/plans/zerotier-gateway-switching.md)
|
|
|
|
(also tracked at `.omp/plans/zerotier-gateway-switching.md`)
|
|
|
|
Implementation (Makefile, ucode backend, switch script, `overview.js`, UCI
|
|
config, ACL, menu entry) lands in subsequent commits against this repository.
