Latest version
Version 1.2.0
Released Sep 18, 2026 - 1.25 MBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later- Dishylink no longer charges its own checks to the device it runs on. It
measures what its own polling costs and takes that out before a figure is
stored, so the machine you run it on shows the usage you made, not the usage
of watching. Satellite lookups are no longer counted against it either, and
stored rows keep their raw figures. - The note explaining that a device's figure still includes Dishylink's own
checks now appears only where you can act on it.
- A wired device now says so in the rule picker. The router keeps no byte
counters for wired clients, so a data allowance has nothing to measure there.
Hours can still be ruled with a schedule or a timer. - The picker lists every device on the network, not only the ones a usage
record exists for. - A rule, or a device's place in a group, is no longer lost while the device is
away. Absence was being read as deletion. A rule ends when you delete the
rule, or delete the device's record. - A device whose records were merged opens its own limit again, rather than an
empty one.
- Latency quality history, with per-minute histograms and its own dashboard.
(#34)
- The macOS menu bar icon can match the rest of the menu bar, or be hidden so
only the throughput readout shows. (#38) - Opening Dishylink while it is already running brings the open window forward
instead of failing. (#43) - Mesh nodes can be renamed from the Nodes tab.
- The web dashboard and the history recorder ship as Docker images. (#16)
- Dishylink is now on the Edge Add-ons store.
- Dishylink asks once whether you would rate it, and support it.
- The history recorder no longer trips over its own data directory when a
second copy starts inside the same process.

Version 1.1.0
Released Aug 22, 2026 - 1.24 MBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterNetwork rules
• Put a rule on a single device, or on a group of them, in one of three forms:
a limit that pauses once a set amount of data is used, a schedule that pauses
outside the hours you set, or a timer that pauses once a countdown runs out.
• A limit runs on a daily, weekly, monthly, custom, Starlink billing-cycle, or
one-time basis. Across a group its allowance is either pooled between the
devices or applied to each of them separately.
• A schedule holds several windows, so "4pm to 8pm on weekdays, 9am to 9pm at
the weekend" is one rule rather than two. Windows run on chosen weekdays or
between chosen dates, may cross midnight, and keep the hours you set across a
daylight saving shift.
• A timer counts down from the moment you save it, and runs for at most 24 hours.
• Devices are automatically paused once a rule is spent, and released when the
next cycle starts.
• Six months of per-device usage history is now kept.
• A device under a rule is marked in the network list, with the rule and its
status reachable from the device's drill-in.
Managing your network remotely
• Link a Starlink account to read the client roster, dish config and device
names through the cloud when the local network can't serve them, with
automatic retry and failover between edges if one stops answering.
• Rename and pause devices from the extension, wherever you are.
• Dishylink refuses to ever pause the device it's running on, from any network.
Bypass mode and router configuration
• Switch the router in and out of bypass mode.
• A bypassed router is read as bypassed rather than as missing, so the panels
say so plainly and its silence raises no alert.
• Change the router's subnet and DNS servers, and reach a router that isn't on
the default 192.168.1.1 address.
• Factory reset the dish or the router, behind an armed confirmation.
Also added
• Choose what the toolbar badge counts: all alerts, only faults a device
reported about itself, or nothing at all.
• The dish and router's pending software update state now shows on the dashboard.
• A time picker for the sleep schedule.
• Byte figures of a terabyte or more are now shown in TB.
Fixed
• A router change that timed out no longer claims Starlink rejected it. Nothing
answered, which is not the same as a refusal.
• A kit with no Starlink router no longer reports "Router isn't answering".
• Cross-origin requests to the cloud routes are rejected.Source code released under MIT License
