# - User logged into StreamFlow

Steps:
1. Navigate to Settings → VPN
2. Enter credentials:
   - Username: your_protonvpn_username
   - Password: your_protonvpn_password
3. Select country: United States (or any from dropdown)
4. Click "Connect to VPN"
5. Wait for "Connected" status (5-15 seconds)

   ✓ Public IP changed from your ISP IP
   ✓ Location shows selected country
   ✓ DNS Servers: 10.2.0.1, 10.2.0.2
   ✓ VPN Interface: tun0 (active)

Expected Result: ✅ All connection details correct, no IP/DNS leaks
```

### Test 2: IP Verification ⏱️ 30 seconds
```bash

2. Click "Check IP" button
3. Wait for results modal

Expected Result: ✅ Modal shows:
- Public IP: Different from your real IP
- Location: VPN server country (e.g., United States, Chicago)
- ISP: ProtonVPN or similar
- DNS Servers: 10.2.0.1, 10.2.0.2
- Interface: tun0 detected and active
```

### Test 3: Translation Testing ⏱️ 1 minute
```bash
# Test English
Steps:

```

### Test 4: Rate Limiting ⏱️ 1 minute
```bash
# Get authentication token first
# Login to get JWT token, then test rate limits

# Test VPN status endpoint (readLimiter: 100 req/15min)
for i in {1..105}; do
  curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
    http://localhost:12345/api/vpn/status \
    -w "%{http_code}\n" -o /dev/null
done

Expected Result: ✅ First 100 requests return 200, requests 101-105 return 429 (Too Many Requests)

# Test VPN connect endpoint (heavyLimiter: 10 req/15min)
for i in {1..12}; do
  curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{}' \
    http://localhost:12345/api/vpn/connect \
    -w "%{http_code}\n" -o /dev/null
done

Expected Result: ✅ First 10 requests process (may fail due to missing country), requests 11-12 return 429
```

### Test 5: Input Validation ⏱️ 1 minute
```bash

  -d '{"username":"test@#$%","password":"validpass123","country":"US"}' \
  http://localhost:12345/api/vpn/settings

Expected Result: ✅ Returns 400 with "Invalid username format"

# Test short password
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"username":"testuser","password":"short","country":"US"}' \
  http://localhost:12345/api/vpn/settings

Expected Result: ✅ Returns 400 with "Password must be between 8 and 256 characters"

# Test invalid country
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"username":"testuser","password":"validpass123","country":"XX"}' \
  http://localhost:12345/api/vpn/settings

Expected Result: ✅ Returns 400 with "Invalid country code"

# Test valid credentials
