Dashboard Modes

tunlx ships two dashboard modes so you can match the operator's scope. Toggle between them with the pill at the right of the top navigation. It names the mode you are in (Simple mode or Advanced mode), and one click switches to the other.

Simple mode Day-to-day operations. Standard proxies, core playback and status actions, essential WireGuard controls, and proxy search.

Advanced mode Architecture-level control. All proxy types, full diagnostics, import/export, JSON / OpenAPI / log inspection, and composite + Xtream service blueprints.

The same instance, seen both ways — note the extra actions, the MediaFlow filter tab, and the composite and Xtream service cards that only Advanced mode surfaces:

Hidden is not disabled

Simple mode only hides controls. A composite proxy or Xtream service you created in Advanced mode keeps running and keeps serving clients while Simple mode is active.

When Simple mode says no

A control that needs Advanced mode does not fail silently. Its message names the feature and carries a Switch to Advanced button; pressing it changes the mode and then does what you clicked (opens the category manager, the service editor, the dialog). Under the proxy filters, the list also counts what Simple mode leaves out ("1 composite proxy hidden in Simple mode — Show"), and a setup made only of composites says so instead of reading "No Proxies Yet".

  • Operators / day-shift: Simple. The surface area is small enough to reduce mistakes.
  • Admins / on-call: Advanced. They need composite, Xtream services, and diagnostics.

The mode is per-session (not per-user), so on a shared admin login any operator can flip into Advanced if they need to.

Switching modes

The mode pill lives in the top navigation bar (in the collapsed menu on a phone or a tablet, where it reads Switch to Advanced Mode). The selected mode is remembered in your browser.
