- new directory structure containing manifest.json and one json file per provider, by default.
- the manifest.json file can specify a filepath for each vpn provider
- each vpn provider json data file can contain the `"preferred": true` field to enforce it is used even if outdated, unless there is a version mismatch
- `STORAGE_SERVERS_DIRECTORY_PATH` replaces `STORAGE_FILEPATH` (which is now a migration source only). It sets the directory where server manifest and per-provider JSON files are stored (default: `/gluetun/servers/`).
- First-run migration: On startup, gluetun checks for the old /gluetun/servers.json file; if found and no new manifest exists, it automatically migrates all data to /gluetun/servers/ directory structure
- Silent fallback: If legacy file isn't found, uses the new directory path normally
- Legacy cleanup: After successful migration, attempts to remove the old fat JSON file (logs warning only if removal fails, e.g., read-only bind mounts)
- `OPENVPN_IPV6` removed
- Affects OpenVPN
- Use the same mechanism for OpenVPN and Wireguard
- Check only once at program start since this is unlikely to change at runtime
- Log if IPv6 is supported
- Remove `IPv6` boolean from settings structs
- Move IPv6 detection as a method on NetLinker
- Each provider interface can now fetch updated servers data
- Rename each provider updater subpackage name to `updater`
- Updater constructor does not take a settings struct
- Updater update method takes in a slice of provider strings
- settings: get filter choices from storage for settings validation
- updater: update servers to the storage
- storage: minimal deep copying and data duplication
- storage: add merged servers mutex for thread safety
- connection: filter servers in storage
- formatter: format servers to Markdown in storage
- PIA: get server by name from storage directly
- Updater: get servers count from storage directly
- Updater: equality check done in storage, fix#882
- Move validation functions from `internal/constants` to `internal/configuration/settings/validation`
- Concatenate all OpenVPN constants in `internal/constants/openvpn.go`
- Better settings tree structure logged using `qdm12/gotree`
- Read settings from environment variables, then files, then secret files
- Settings methods to default them, merge them and override them
- `DNS_PLAINTEXT_ADDRESS` default changed to `127.0.0.1` to use DoT. Warning added if set to something else.
- `HTTPPROXY_LISTENING_ADDRESS` instead of `HTTPPROXY_PORT` (with retro-compatibility)
- Perfect privacy to accept AES-256-CBC and AES-256-GCM
- Cyberghost default cipher set to AES-256-GCM
- `OPENVPN_CIPHER` accept comma separated cipher values
- Use `ncp-ciphers` for OpenVPN 2.4
