Removed the misleading "Both backends remain installed" line from the
switch_backend confirmation dialog. The remaining messages "Stop X"
and "Start Y" already clearly explain what happens.
The start-both.sh script was sourcing paqctl.conf which doesn't exist.
Changed to settings.conf where LISTEN_PORT and GFK_VIO_PORT are saved.
This caused iptables rules to always use default ports (8443/45000)
even when user configured different ports, resulting in port mismatch.
The offline/manual installation section had incorrect config.yaml format:
- Wrong: socks5.port → Correct: socks5[].listen
- Wrong: server.address → Correct: server.addr
- Wrong: transport.mode/key → Correct: transport.kcp.mode/key
- Missing: network.ipv4.addr, network.ipv4.router_mac, log.level
- Wrong command: -config → Correct: run -c
Added instructions for finding local IP and router MAC on each OS.
Fixed both English and Farsi sections.
Add comprehensive step-by-step instructions for users who can't
download from GitHub directly (behind DPI/firewall).
Includes:
- 8 clear steps with examples
- Fill-in-the-blank server info template
- Multiple transfer methods (SCP, USB, SFTP)
- Browser configuration for Firefox/Chrome
- Troubleshooting section
- Note to check releases page for latest version
Both English and Farsi versions included.

Debian Trixie and other newer distros use nftables by default
and don't have iptables installed. Add iptables to dependency
check so it gets installed automatically during setup.

Add directory existence checks in New-PaqetConfig and New-GfkConfig
before writing config files. Shows friendly error message instead of
"Could not find a part of the path" exception.

Windows client (paqet-client.ps1):
- Added Update-Paqet function with version tracking
- Added Get-InstalledPaqetVersion and Save-PaqetVersion helpers
- Creates backup before updating, restores on failure
- Added menu option 7 for update, moved About to option 8
All platforms:
- Switched paqet binary downloads from SamNet-dev/paqctl to hanselime/paqet
- Updated paqctl.sh PAQET_REPO to hanselime/paqet
- Updated README.md download URLs to hanselime/paqet
- Users now get paqet updates directly from upstream source
- Allows paqctl script releases without affecting paqet binary updates
The simple config format was incorrect - paqet expects the full YAML
structure with role, socks5, network, server, and transport sections.
Added network section with interface, ipv4.addr, and router_mac fields.
Added tips recommending paqctl for automatic network detection.
Fixes#12
Thanks to @pyr0ken for reporting this issue.
- macOS: chmod +x paqet_darwin_amd64
- Linux: chmod +x paqet_linux_amd64
Fixes both English and Persian documentation sections.
Thanks to @FarazFe for identifying this issue (PR #10)
- Fix health check to detect both tagged and untagged iptables rules
- Add missing RST DROP rule to install wizard (prevents kernel interference)
- Add missing IPv6 rules to boot script and install wizard
- Add iptables existence check in install wizard with warning
- Improve status display to show partial firewall state
- Use local variables with defaults for robustness
The health check was failing because it looked for untagged rules while
_apply_firewall() adds rules with -m comment --comment "paqctl" tag.
Now checks for both variants for backwards compatibility.
- Replace Linux-only 'pkill' command with cross-platform solution
- Use 'wmic' and 'taskkill' on Windows to kill existing Python processes
- Add CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP for proper signal handling on Windows
- Improve shutdown handling for both platforms
Fixes FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] when starting GFK on Windows.
- Update README.md download URLs to match actual release filenames
- Add tar extraction commands for .tar.gz files
- Fix repository links from /paqet to /paqctl
Features:
- Dual backend support: paqet (KCP) and GFW-knocker (violated TCP + QUIC)
- Both backends can run simultaneously when both are installed
- Automatic config.yaml generation for paqet backend
- Windows client support with PowerShell script
- Telegram monitoring integration
- Systemd service management
Backends:
- paqet: Single Go binary with built-in SOCKS5 (port 1080)
- GFW-knocker: Python-based with violated TCP tunneling (port 14000)
