Hardcoded to eth0 about dnsmasq-qpkg HOT 3 CLOSED

Thank you for the kind words! And sorry for the late response ( see issue #2 - work / travel ) I will definitely get to work on this ASAP. And also, I typed up a lot about how I went about all of this. But **I will definitely get all of these changes, eth0 / eth1 (and eth2, eth3 for the bigger NASes) incorporated, as well as your issue #4 disabling DHCP server. I have a number of web GUI updates I need to merge as well.

Thanks for writing back, in the mean time I've been playing with dnsmasq on a CentOS server and the more work with it the more I realize that there's unlikely to be a 'simple gui' that satisfies even a small set of 'reasonable configurations. Something to consider might be to only implement the basics like you have (doing QNap specific things like interface detection etc is useful), but beyond that, it will be a never ending project.
Instead, maybe simply a 'text edit' page with the dnsmasq config files in a list to select then let users hand edit it. There is potential complexity with the various config attributes that can take arbitrary files and directories, but that's probably solvable by say making one file for each of the options
( hosts files, additional dnsmasq config for dhcp only use etc).
for my somewhat complicated net I have
dnsmasq.conf dnsmasq.hosts, resolv.dnsmasq, hosts.wlan, hosts.zlan, and for fun a dnsmasq.d where I only put dhcp configurations in )

By separating out the most commonly edited parts into separate files, even a small fixed list, then one can be a lot more confident of not breaking things badly by editing say just the dhcp hosts file vs
everything in one where a typeo can break it all.
That would give simple use case users no extra complexity, advanced users able to do whatever they want, and in between uses a few places they can edit stuff but not be afraid of screwing up the whole thing.

With that -- A way of downloading and uploading the configurations into a zip or something and I think it would turn into a really great tool.
( I just had to reformat a QNap and learned the hard way that the NAS backups dont backup the .dpkg directories ... I backed up the NAS Config and all the shared folders but when I restored it all I had a bunch of app icons that linked to non-existent directories , even the "Web" folder has symlinks in it that "look like directories" but didn't backup like them )

@DALDEI I have two new features in there now:

• configure interface that dnsmasq is operating on
• download (backup) zip file and restore configs

There are a number of other enhancements and fixes as well that you might be interested in too

Thanks for the ideas, I already used them myself.
