Format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
|
|
versioning follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
|
|
|
|
## [0.4.0] — 2026-08-09
|
|
|
|
"You can now see what the resolver is actually being asked."
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
|
|
- A live view of the last 200 queries the resolver handled, each marked as
|
|
blocked, served from cache, or sent upstream, with a filter by name.
|
|
|
|
### Fixed
|
|
|
|
- The system DNS cache is no longer flushed on every periodic re-apply. Adapters
|
|
that already point at the resolver are left untouched, and the cache is only
|
|
cleared when something actually changed — previously the whole machine's cache
|
|
was discarded every five minutes for nothing.
|
|
|
|
### Notes
|
|
|
|
- The view is held in memory only. It is never written to the log file and is
|
|
discarded when blocking is switched off, because it records every name looked
|
|
up on the machine and not only the blocked ones — it exists to answer "what
|
|
just happened", not to accumulate a browsing history.
|
|
- It costs a fixed 56 KB of memory and roughly 8 ns per query, so it is on by
|
|
default with nothing to configure.
|
|
|
|
## [0.3.0] — 2026-08-09
|
|
|
|
"It now closes websites, not just programs."
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
|
|
- Website blocking through a built-in DNS resolver on `127.0.0.1:53` and
|
|
`[::1]:53`. One entry closes the domain and every subdomain under it —
|
|
`discord.com` also covers `gateway.discord.com`, so there is no list to
|
|
maintain by hand.
|
|
- A "Sites" section in the panel: resolver status, query counters and a table of
|
|
attempts, showing what was reached for and when.
|
|
- A separate on/off switch for website blocking. Turning it off frees port 53
|
|
and hands the adapters back to the router's settings.
|
|
- Optional firewall rule that blocks queries to third-party name servers, so the
|
|
resolver cannot simply be bypassed.
|
|
- A `--restore-dns` switch that puts network settings back without starting the
|
|
service, for the case where the service will not come up.
|
|
|
|
### Changed
|
|
|
|
- Vue is compiled into the executable; it used to be fetched from `unpkg.com`.
|
|
The panel now works without an internet connection, and a name resolution
|
|
failure no longer takes away the only way to manage the service.
|
|
- The uninstaller restores DNS settings before removing the service.
|
|
|
|
### Notes
|
|
|
|
- **Website blocking is off by default.** Updates arrive on their own, without
|
|
anyone at the keyboard, and must not silently rewrite network settings. Turn
|
|
it on in the panel.
|
|
- The resolver needs port 53. If something else holds it — Docker, Internet
|
|
Connection Sharing, a third-party DNS proxy — the panel says so, network
|
|
settings are left alone, and program blocking keeps working.
|
|
- DNS over HTTPS in browsers and any VPN bypass this layer. Process termination
|
|
is what covers those, whitelist mode most reliably.
|
|
- Network settings are restored when the service stops. If that fails, it is
|
|
recorded in the log under `C:\ProgramData\SysHelper`.
|
|
|
|
## [0.2.0] — 2026-08-02
|
|
|
|
"The panel can now be opened from another device on your home network — a phone
|
|
or a second computer."
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
|
|
- Service listens on all network interfaces, with a Windows Firewall rule for
|
|
port 8787 scoped to private and domain networks only.
|
|
|
|
### Notes
|
|
|
|
- Upgrading: the firewall rule is created automatically during installation and
|
|
updates.
|
|
- The panel is served over plain HTTP; passwords travel the network unencrypted.
|
|
- Local access at `http://127.0.0.1:8787` is unchanged and still password
|
|
protected.
|
|
|
|
## [0.1.1] — 2026-08-02
|
|
|
|
Installer reliability improvements; service and panel unchanged.
|
|
|
|
### Fixed
|
|
|
|
- Setup now properly reports when the service fails to start.
|
|
- Setup verifies that the panel password was stored and warns if it was not.
|
|
|
|
### Notes
|
|
|
|
- Warnings appear during manual installation only; automatic updates stay
|
|
silent and log to `C:\ProgramData\SysHelper`.
|
|
|
|
## [0.1.0] — 2026-08-02
|
|
|
|
"Parental control for Windows. Runs as a background service, managed from a
|
|
browser."
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
|
|
- Block programs by name, in blacklist or whitelist mode.
|
|
- Schedule termination at a random moment inside a time window.
|
|
- Live process list and event log.
|
|
- Automatic updates.
|
|
|
|
### Notes
|
|
|
|
- Runs as a Windows SYSTEM service and requires 64-bit Windows.
|
|
- Configuration is stored in `C:\ProgramData\SysHelper`.
