The four images/photon-*.png screenshots referenced in photon-setup.md never existed in the repo, so they rendered as broken images. Remove the references; the text walkthrough stands on its own.
Add an FAQ entry contrasting DorkNet with closed-source private-server
tools that ask users to disable antivirus: DorkNet is fully open source
and nothing is obfuscated, so there's nothing hidden for a scanner to flag
and no reason to weaken protection to run it.
The BepInEx client patcher is gone; document the MelonLoader installer
(install-melon.ps1 on the version branch) dropping DorkNet.ClientMod
into Mods/ instead of a BepInEx plugin into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Default hosting mode is now Localtunnel — public *.loca.lt URL,
no account, auto-fetched on first run. Replaces the prototyped
Tailscale mode.
- Tailscale code purged from launcher + CLI; docs swapped to
Localtunnel throughout (easy-setup, joining-a-server, server-cli,
troubleshooting, faq, READMEs).
- Launcher sidebar gains an Open admin panel button — opens
https://admin.<apex> in the browser once the server is live.
- SQLite db moves to %APPDATA%\DorkNet\dorknet.db (server reads
Database__SqlitePath env var, launcher passes it). Existing dbs
under <serverDir>\data\ are migrated on first run.
- CLI Program.cs: --mode default flips from tailscale to localtunnel;
csproj links in LocaltunnelTunnel + LocaltunnelInstaller.
- New Backend files: LauncherNameServer, LocaltunnelInstaller,
LocaltunnelTunnel, SingleOriginServiceMap.
- .gitignore: exclude installer/out/.
