Roadmap

TunnelX is free and open-source. This roadmap is not a promise of delivery, but a public place to track useful future improvements.

Planned Ideas

System preflight and guided repair

Add an in-app system check before connecting that can detect common local problems and guide the user clearly.

Candidate checks:

Administrator privileges
Runtime mode: standalone/self-contained vs framework-dependent developer build
Xray and sing-box availability
WinDivert and Wintun native component availability
extraction folder write permissions
route and packet interception readiness
deeper release asset verification for future automatic update flows

Potential actions:

re-extract bundled components when possible
show a clear manual fix guide when automatic repair is not possible
ask before downloading any external file
download only from official TunnelX GitHub Releases
verify downloaded files before use
avoid silent driver or system-level changes

For public releases, TunnelX should continue to prefer self-contained standalone EXE builds so end users do not need to install the .NET Runtime separately.

Profile management

import and export connection profiles
clone profiles with clearer naming
per-profile health and last-test status
presets for common workflows such as browser-only, messaging, development, and full VPN

Split tunnel rule clarity

explicit rule priority between apps, include destinations, and exclude destinations
wildcard and domain-suffix previews
conflict detection when the same destination is both included and excluded
show which rule caused a destination to be routed or bypassed

Health dashboard

user-facing states: safe, protected, needs attention, and broken
short explanation for the latest important network event
suggested action next to DNS, IPv6, route, and leak status

Kill switch

optional per-app kill switch when the tunnel core or TUN bridge drops
keep selected apps blocked until the tunnel is restored or the user disconnects

Traffic accounting clarity

keep tunnel, direct, per-app, DNS, and history counters aligned to one accounting model
expose whether counters are interface-based, rewritten-flow-based, or app-attributed

Installer and prerequisite checks

optional installer/bootstrapper for shortcuts, uninstall support, prerequisite checks, and future update flow
