The Relay now supports Router mode: When Router mode is enabled and when a user is connected to the hotspot, their traffic will be automatically routed through the Anyone Network and provide seamless privacy. Router mode has replaces Hotspot Proxy function from previous versions.
Mode selection: Gives the operator the option to configure the hardware as a Relay Only, Relay and Router combo, or Router Only when using the Setup Wizard that is initiated by holding the physical blue button for 3 seconds.
Update via WEB UI: This version support updating the Relay by going to 'System > Update' and selecting update files. Future updates will use this method.
Adding MyFamily in bulk: Paste a set of fingerprints as a comma separated list or line by line in one go for a quicker MyFamily configuration. In addition, the limit on 90 fingerprints has been removed.
Support for the extra WiFi USB dongle shipped with the latest Relay batches, this allows the Relay to use a Wireless connection joining a Local Network as well as having a Hotspot enabled at the same time.
Setup Wizard: To provide a more intuitive experience when performing the initial setup of the Relay, our focus for this update has been on the setup wizard, with minor changes to the Relay Control Panel.
On the Relay Settings page, the Bandwidth Settings feature now uses the parameters RelayBandwidthBurst/RelayBandwidthRate instead for BandwidthBurst/BandwidthRate. The latter restricts all traffic including client traffic which is not suitable with the introduction of the Router Mode. See the Anon Manual for reference.
Optimisations to reduce the CPU and Memory resources consumed by the APP.
Grab any USB drive and plug it into your computer, ensure the filesystem on the USB drive is FAT or FAT32.
Download both default.cfg and update.zip and place on the USB drive, do NOT rename or unpack any of the files.
Only if you have changed the default password for the Relay Control Panel, then open the file default.cfg with any editor and change the first line "01_user_password=MyPassword" to include your password.
Plug in the USB to your Relay and unplug when the LED's are flashing in green, the relay will restart when USB is unplugged. Wait for the Relay to start up again.
If the lights of the relay flashes in Red, it means the password is wrong in default.cfg, readd default.cfg and correct the password.
If the lights of the relay flashes in Blue, it means the files have not been placed properly, delete all files from the USB and re-add them again.
When relay has restarted you can login to the Relay Control Panel and verify that you see the latest version as shown below, located in the Versions section on the Home page.
(Optional). To change the modes, press the physical blue button located on your Relay for 3 seconds, connect to the wireless network named 'relayup_XXXXXX' and follow the instructions on the captive portal.
