Circle

Circle is the fastest visual privacy check and the free default. One ring, a handful of protection stations around it, and the live status of the machine in the middle. Choose a route, press Protect, watch the ring fill.

JavaScript is off, so the walkthrough on this page cannot run. It steps through a picture of the dashboard and explains one control at a time, which needs scripting. Every explanation it gives is drawn from the dashboard’s own help text, and the same commands are documented without scripting in the CLI Reference.

How to read thisClick any control in the picture to jump to its explanation, or press Play walkthrough and it steps through them for you. Show every control outlines all of them at once.

What is real on this page: every picture is the Kodachi dashboard itself, rendered by its own interface code, and every highlighted box is that control's real measured position, except SOC's twelve panel regions, which are declared by hand because its map is a single canvas with nothing inside it to measure. Explanations come from the dashboard's own tooltips, labels and help text. The Live replica is that screen’s real markup and stylesheet with every script removed, so it looks identical and cannot do anything. What is not: nothing on this page runs a command, and no dashboard logic is included. The readings are not a real machine. Every screen was rendered against the project’s own test harness with no backend behind it, so the score, addresses, interfaces and process names are sample values chosen to make each panel show what it looks like when it has data. Where this manual supplied an address it used a reserved documentation range, but some sample rows carry well-known public addresses of their own, so read no address here as this machine’s. Of the 32 explanations on this page, 17 are the dashboard’s own tooltip, label or help text, 0 carried no tooltip of their own and were supplied by this manual, and 15 name the control and its screen because the dashboard gives that control no description of its own.

32 walkthrough steps covering 32 distinct controls across 1 screen of Circle. A control that appears on several screens, the refresh trio and the tab strip for example, is explained on each of them, which is why the two numbers differ. Keyboard: ← → step, space play or pause, k open or close the Know this card.

The 5 Know this cards on this page compare controls that look alike and are not. They open on 7 of the 32 steps. Every comparison in them is anchored to a sentence the dashboard itself ships, in its command catalog, its action catalog, its mode descriptions or its AutoShield catalog, and the build refuses to publish a card whose quoted sentence is no longer present in that source. Nothing here is a benchmark this project has run. One limit worth stating: the dashboard offers its tunnels in a dropdown and a filter row rather than as separate buttons, so of the fourteen protocols only WireGuard has controls of its own on these pages. The rest are named inside those two list controls, which is where their cards open.
