This change introduces a major refactoring of the RPC service layer to improve modularity, unify the API, and simplify the overall architecture.
Key changes:
- Replaced per-network-instance RPC services with a single global RPC server, reducing resource usage and simplifying management.
- All clients (CLI, Web UI, etc.) now interact with EasyTier core through a unified RPC entrypoint, enabling consistent authentication and control.
- RPC implementation logic has been moved to `easytier/src/rpc_service/` and organized by functionality (e.g., `instance_manage.rs`, `peer_manage.rs`, `config.rs`) for better maintainability.
- Standardized Protobuf API definitions under `easytier/src/proto/` with an `api_` prefix (e.g., `cli.proto` → `api_instance.proto`) to provide a consistent interface.
- CLI commands now require explicit `--instance-id` or `--instance-name` when multiple network instances are running; the parameter is optional when only one instance exists.
BREAKING CHANGE:
RPC portal configuration (`rpc_portal` and `rpc_portal_whitelist`) has been removed from per-instance configs and the Web UI. The RPC listen address must now be specified globally via the `--rpc-portal` command-line flag or the `ET_RPC_PORTAL` environment variable, as there is only one RPC service for the entire application.
* refactor: update global context STUN server initialization
Modified global context initialization to use a single StunInfoCollector
instance with properly configured IPv4 and IPv6 servers instead of
creating separate instances.
feat: add IPv6 STUN server configuration support
Added interface methods and config struct fields to support both IPv4
and IPv6 STUN server configuration. Modified getter and setter methods
to handle Option<Vec<String>> type for both server types.
feat: enhance StunInfoCollector with IPv6 support
Updated StunInfoCollector to support both IPv4 and IPv6 STUN servers.
Added new constructor that accepts both server types and methods to set
them independently.
feat: add CLI argument for IPv6 STUN servers
Added command line argument support for configuring IPv6 STUN servers.
Updated configuration setup to handle both IPv4 and IPv6 STUN server
settings.
docs: add localization for STUN server configuration
Added English and Chinese localization strings for the new STUN server
configuration options, including both IPv4 and IPv6 variants.
* feat(acl): add group-based ACL rules and related structures
* refactor(acl): optimize group handling with Arc and improve cache management
* refactor(acl): clippy
* feat(tests): add performance tests for generate_with_proof and verify methods
* feat: update group_trust_map to use HashMap for more secure group proofs
* refactor: refactor the logic of the trusted group getting and setting
* feat(acl): support kcp/quic use group acl
* feat(proxy): optimize group retrieval by IP in Kcp and Quic proxy handlers
* feat(tests): add group-based ACL tree node test
* always allow quic proxy traffic

Large memory usage comes from:
Mimalloc hold large thread cache, causing abort 13M+ usage.
QUIC endpoint occupy 3M when GRO is enabled.
Smoltcp 64 tcp listener use 2MB.
QUIC proxy works like kcp proxy, it can proxy TCP streams and transfer data with QUIC.
QUIC has better congestion algorithm (BBR) for network with both high loss rate and high bandwidth.
QUIC proxy can be enabled by passing `--enable-quic-proxy` to easytier in the client side. The proxy status can be viewed by `easytier-cli proxy`.
This patch implements:
1. A dns server that handles .et.net. zone in local and forward all other queries to system dns server.
2. A dns server instance which is a singleton in one machine, using one specific tcp port to be exclusive with each other. this instance is responsible for config system dns and run the dns server to handle dns queries.
3. A dns client instance that all easytier instance will run one, this instance will try to connect to dns server instance, and update the dns record in the dns server instance.
this pr only implements the system config for windows. linux & mac will do later.
if smoltcp bind only once on tcp socket, it can only accept exactly
one syn packet in one round. other syn packets will be dropped and
client will receive a RST packet.
