A complete walkthrough of every part of the GoodByeDPI GUI interface.

The window is divided into six sections:

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐

Three cards let you choose how GoodByeDPI runs:

Click any card to select it. The selected card gets a blue border and a tinted background.

🔧 Custom reveals an extra input field for your own arguments — see Custom Arguments.

When you switch to Custom, the window grows smoothly to fit the extra input field. When you switch back, it shrinks. No jarring jumps.

Only visible when the Custom card is selected.

The input field accepts any valid GoodbyeDPI command-line arguments.

Example:

-f 2 -e 40 --native-frag --reverse-frag --max-payload

As you type, a status line appears under the field:

Hover over the status line to see all errors and warnings in a tooltip.

Click the ? button next to the field to open the Arguments Guide — a tabbed reference of every flag with:

• 🔍 Live search across all flags
• ➕ One-click add (appends to your args)
• 🎯 Presets tab (replaces the whole line)
• 🏷 Badges: RECOMMENDED, DANGEROUS, DEFAULT

Before starting, if you're in Custom mode with invalid args, a confirmation dialog will appear.

Real-time output from goodbyedpi.exe, with color coding:

Buttons:

• Clear — empty the log
• Copy — copy entire log to clipboard (shows a toast)

Tick Run on Windows startup (Task Scheduler) to launch GoodByeDPI GUI automatically at login.

This creates a Windows Task named GoodbyeDPIManager with highest privileges.

To verify or remove manually:

1. Open Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc)
2. Look for GoodbyeDPIManager
3. Check "Run with highest privileges" is enabled

⚠️ If you move the EXE to a new folder, disable and re-enable the option to update the path.

Closing the window shows an Exit Options dialog:

From the tray icon you can:

• ▶ Start
• ⏹ Stop
• See current status
• Exit

Double-click the tray icon to restore the window.

Small, self-dismissing notifications appear at the bottom-right corner:

Click a toast to dismiss it immediately. They also fade out on their own after a few seconds.

Automatic: runs silently on every launch.

Manual: click 🔄 Check for updates at the bottom-left.

• If a new version exists → Update Available dialog with a Download button
• If you're current → toast: "You're on the latest version"
• If offline → warning toast

Click the v1.2.0 badge in the header (top-right) to see:

• App version
• Powered-by libraries (clickable links)
• Author credits
• GitHub button

These are remembered between sessions:

• ✅ Selected mode
• ✅ Custom arguments
• ✅ Window position & size
• ✅ Auto-start setting (via Task Scheduler)

No manual save needed.
