More ISP Health scoring improvements and some monitoring polish. See the v1.20.0 release notes for what's new in v1.20.0+.
Monitoring - ISP Health
- Smarter loaded-latency scoring - Loaded latency now cross-checks your ISP access hops against end-to-end internet targets, so a single router that deprioritizes ping under load, or one anycast destination having a bad night, no longer inflates the measured loaded latency and unfairly drags your score down. Still computed passively from whatever real load your connection sees, no bufferbloat test required.
- Adaptive SQM probe windows excluded - Adaptive SQM briefly lifts the shaper to measure your true line speed, which looks like bufferbloat but isn't your shaped experience. Those windows are now carved out of the loaded-line analysis.
- Retuned idle latency - The idle baseline is more robust to outliers and the per-technology curves were retuned so a top score is genuinely earned.
- Consistent primary-WAN resolution - ISP Health, the 2D / 3D Live Views, and upstream discovery now agree on which WAN is your configured primary (by load-balance weight and failover priority), and rate and Adaptive SQM data resolve to the correct counter and data-path interfaces, including VLAN-tagged WANs. Live throughput cards still follow the active uplink so failover stats stay correct.
- NOTE for PPPoE users: please report any breakage in a GitHub issue, as we refactored some of the code that controls WAN interface mapping.
- Lighter footprint - Added WAN summary caching so the app stops re-reading it on every request.
Monitoring - 2D / 3D Live Views
- Cleaner timeline playback - Scrubbing back through history no longer paints latency on secondary WAN globes that aren't being monitored.
Security Audit
- More DNS providers recognized - Detects on-gateway NextDNS CLI and ControlD, and recognizes more public DNS provider IPs.
Fixes
- Standalone UniFi Network Server (legacy) - Self-hosted UniFi Network Server installs no longer fall back to UniFi OS API paths that don't exist on them. UniFi OS Server consoles were unaffected.
Installation
Windows: Download the MSI installer below
Docker:
docker compose pull && docker compose up -dmacOS (native, recommended for accurate speed tests vs Docker Desktop):
git clone https://github.com/Ozark-Connect/NetworkOptimizer.git && cd NetworkOptimizer && ./scripts/install-macos-native.sh
# or if you already have it cloned
cd NetworkOptimizer && git pull && ./scripts/install-macos-native.shProxmox:
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ozark-Connect/NetworkOptimizer/main/scripts/proxmox/install.sh)"
# or if you just need to update
pct exec <CT_ID> -- bash -c "cd /opt/network-optimizer && docker compose pull && docker compose up -d"For other platforms (Synology, QNAP, Unraid, native Linux), see the Deployment Guide.
