AutoDialer 0.4.5

AutoDialer is an automation script designed to interact with routers using APIs.

AutoDialer

AutoDialer is a cross-platform Python CLI package for router APIs, designed to rotate public IP addresses automatically and streamline router interactions.

Why AutoDialer?

• Convenient IP rotation on dynamic lines without manual router reboot.
• Cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS, BSD).
• CLI-first usage for scripts and automation.

Installation

pip install autodialer

[!NOTE] Only TP-Link, ZTE and ASUS routers are supported now.

[!WARNING] Keep .env private and never commit credentials.

Configuration

Create a .env file in your working directory:

Variable	Description
PANEL_USERNAME	Router panel username (defaults to admin)
PANEL_PASSWORD	Router panel password
PPPOE_USERNAME	ISP PPPoE username override (optional)
PPPOE_PASSWORD	ISP PPPoE password override (optional)
ASN	Optional library-level default ASN. The CLI currently expects the ASN to be passed explicitly with --asn <ASN>.

Example:

PANEL_USERNAME='admin'
PANEL_PASSWORD='your_router_panel_password'
PPPOE_USERNAME='your_pppoe_username'
PPPOE_PASSWORD='your_pppoe_password'
ASN='AS9929'

Usage

After installation, use the CLI directly:

autodialer --force
autodialer --asn AS9929
autodialer-devices
autodialer --change

Arguments:

• -f, --force: force reconnection even if ASN is already matched.
• -a, --asn: target ASN (for example AS9929 or 9929).
• -c, --change: change the IP address.

Behavior:

• autodialer with no arguments is invalid; use one of --force, --asn <ASN>, or --change.
• AutoDialer detects current WAN protocol and applies matching reconnection action.
• PPPoE uses disconnect/connect flow and reuses the router's saved credentials by default.
• If PPPOE_USERNAME and PPPOE_PASSWORD are set, AutoDialer updates the router's PPPoE config before reconnecting.
• DHCP uses DHCP renew flow and shares the same ASN/check/retry control logic.
