Status of the Web based monitoring UI/Dashboard (DNSCrypt)
DNSCrypt introduced a new interactive web based UI in version 2.1.9. (late to the party with finally leaving 2.1.8...- me that is)
Assuming you currently (force) disable it during build time, are there any plans to (securely) expose it to the user in the future (ideally) through a native in-app view (if possible) ? Doesn't even need to be pretty, given just how rarely I (we?) have to actually open InviZible itself. (As in the (beta) app has basically been performing flawless for years, only requiring the occasional log check or setting/blacklist change)
(I'm assuming that 1. I'm not missing it currently not being disabled - 2. This functionality is actually available on arm (or possible at all on Android devices) and not limited to desktops - 3. Requires more than what is actually implemented as part of InviZible to function)
I also do understand that functionality/features like this are not part of the core mission of InviZible. This is purely meant to be a question to clarify the current situation (given that the feature had a bit of a "rough" start before the rework) and to potentially get your thoughts on the "usefulness" of adding/exposing more information/statistics to the app and end-user.
Also 2 small potential changes
- B/s to align more with what a user might see the system report in network usage in the statusbar
- (DNSCrypt running only) single line notification by allowing at least the removal of the DNSCRYPT label (time elapsed might be too useful for removal and should still fit regardless)
Assuming you currently (force) disable it during build time
It is simply disabled by default in dnscrypt-proxy.toml. You can add this option by yourself.
are there any plans to (securely) expose it to the user in the future
Of course. Why not? I just need to think how it will look like and find some free time for it.
