Adds support for custom TCP flags (local_flag, remote_flag) in paqet backend:
- Added to config.yaml generation with YAML array format ["PA"]
- Added to Change configuration menu with clear instructions
- Valid flags: S(SYN) A(ACK) P(PSH) R(RST) F(FIN) U(URG) E(ECE) C(CWR)
- Supports multiple values: PA,A (tries PA first, then A)
- Input validation prevents invalid flags
Fixes#21
The script uses 'set -eo pipefail' which causes grep to exit the script
silently when no matches are found (grep returns exit code 1).
Root cause: When a system only has loopback interface (lo), the command
grep -vE '^(lo|docker...)' returns exit 1 (no matches)
With pipefail, this causes the entire pipeline to fail, and with set -e,
the script exits silently without any error message.
Fix: Wrap grep commands in { grep ... || true; } to prevent pipeline
failures when grep finds no matches.
Affected functions:
- detect_network() in outer installer script
- detect_network() in embedded management script
- Network detection in settings menu
Fixes#25
- Correct description: KCP over raw TCP packets with custom flags (not UDP)
- Add paqetNG Android client link to README and TUI About section
- Thanks to paqet creator for the correction
- Bump PAQET_VERSION_PINNED to v1.0.0-alpha.14 in paqctl.sh (both outer and embedded scripts)
- Update Windows client version in paqet-client.ps1
- Update all version references in README.md (English and Farsi)
- Add ARM 32-bit (armv7) architecture support to detect_arch functions
- Update README platform tables to include ARM 32-bit downloads
The embedded heredoc script (installed to /usr/local/bin/paqctl) was calling
detect_network but the function was only defined in the outer installer script.
This caused "command not found" errors when adding paqet alongside gfw-knocker.
Add GFK_TCP_FLAGS setting to allow customizing TCP flags used in
violated TCP packets. This addresses cases where different flag
combinations (e.g. 'S', 'RA') may work better for certain networks.
Changes:
- Add tcp_flags parameter to vio_server.py and vio_client.py
- Add GFK_TCP_FLAGS to settings save/load with validation
- Add TCP flags menu option in change config for both server/client
- Default remains 'AP' for backwards compatibility
Validation: Only uppercase TCP flags allowed (F,S,R,P,A,U,E,C)
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.
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.

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
- 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.
- 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)
