Mini-MWAN is a minimalistic multi-WAN load balancing and failover daemon for OpenWrt. Unlike mwan3, it does not depend on nft or iptables, instead using IP routes and metrics for traffic management. Ideal for use-cases where mwan3 is too heavy or its dependencies cannot be satisfied (e.g., OpenWrt 23.05+). Features: - Failover mode: automatic switching to backup WAN on primary failure - Multi-uplink mode: load balancing across multiple WAN connections - Configurable ping-based health monitoring - UCI configuration interface - LuCI web interface coming soon as a separate package - Pure Lua implementation with minimal dependencies - Status reporting and logging Tested on OpenWrt 24.10 (ramips/mt7621 ASUS RT-AX53U MediaTek MT7621 ver:1 eco:3).
