+# VPN Configuration Upload System - Implementation Summary
+
+## Overview
+Simplified VPN management system allowing users to upload .conf (WireGuard) and .ovpn (OpenVPN) configuration files instead of manual credential entry.
+
+## Features Implemented
+
+### 1. **Database Schema**
+- New `vpn_configs` table for storing multiple VPN configurations
+- Supports both WireGuard and OpenVPN config types
+- Encrypted storage of sensitive configuration data
+- Automatic country/server name extraction from config files
+- Tracks active configuration per user
+
+### 2. **Backend API Routes** (`/api/vpn-configs`)
+
+#### GET `/configs`
+- Lists all VPN configurations for authenticated user
+- Returns: config ID, name, type, country, server, endpoint, active status
+
+#### GET `/configs/:id`
+- Retrieves specific configuration with decrypted data
+- User-scoped access control
+
+#### POST `/configs/upload`
+- Upload .conf or .ovpn files (max 1MB)
+- Auto-parses configuration and extracts metadata
+- Validates file format and content
+- Encrypts and stores configuration data
+- **Security Features:**
+  - File type validation (.conf, .ovpn only)
+  - Content size limit (100KB parsed content)
+  - Script injection detection
+  - Dangerous directive blocking
+  - Input sanitization
+
+#### DELETE `/configs/:id`
+- Deletes configuration (only if not active)
+- User-scoped access control
+
+#### POST `/configs/:id/activate`
+- Sets configuration as active
+- Deactivates all other configs for user
+
+#### POST `/configs/:id/connect`
+- Connects to VPN using specified configuration
+- Supports both WireGuard and OpenVPN
+- Automatically determines protocol from config type
+
+### 3. **Configuration Parsers**
+
+#### WireGuard Parser
+- Extracts Interface section (PrivateKey, Address, DNS)
+- Extracts Peer section (PublicKey, AllowedIPs, Endpoint)
+- Validates required fields
+- Auto-detects country from endpoint
+
+#### OpenVPN Parser
+- Extracts remote server, port, protocol
+- Preserves full configuration for connection
+- Validates remote server presence
+- Auto-detects country from hostname/IP
+
+### 4. **Frontend Component** (`VPNConfigManager.jsx`)
+
+**Features:**
+- File upload dialog with drag-and-drop support
+- Configuration list with status indicators
+- Country flags and server information display
+- Active configuration highlighting
+- One-click connect/disconnect
+- Delete confirmation dialogs
+- Responsive Material-UI design
+
+**User Experience:**
+- Auto-fills config name from filename
+- Real-time validation feedback
+- Loading states for async operations
+- Success/error messaging
+- Empty state with helpful onboarding
+
+### 5. **Security Measures**
+
+#### Authentication & Authorization
+- JWT token required for all endpoints
+- User-scoped data access (users can only see their own configs)
+
+#### Rate Limiting
+- Read operations: 100 requests per 15 minutes
+- Modify operations: 30 requests per 15 minutes
+- Upload operations: 30 requests per 15 minutes
+
+#### Input Validation
+- File size limits (1MB upload, 100KB parsed)
+- File type whitelist (.conf, .ovpn only)
+- Configuration name validation (alphanumeric + safe punctuation)
+- Name length limit (100 characters)
+
+#### Content Security
+- Script injection detection (`<script`, `${`, `eval()`)
+- Shell command injection prevention (no `$(`, `` ` ``, `;`)
+- OpenVPN dangerous directive blocking
+- Required field validation
+
+#### Data Encryption
+- AES-256-CBC encryption for configuration data
+- Encrypted storage in database
+- Decryption only when needed
+
+### 6. **Internationalization**
+
+#### English Translations (`en.json`)
+- vpnConfig.title: "VPN Configurations"
+- vpnConfig.uploadConfig: "Upload Config"
+- vpnConfig.infoText: Helpful description
+- Full error and success messages
+- Dialog titles and confirmations
+
+#### Romanian Translations (`ro.json`)
+- Complete translation set matching English
+- Culturally appropriate phrasing
+- All UI elements translated
+
+### 7. **Metadata Extraction**
+
+#### Country Detection
+- Pattern matching for country codes in hostnames (e.g., "us-01", "node-ro-02")
+- IP range lookup for known VPN providers
+- Supports: US, NL, JP, GB, DE, FR, CA, CH, SE, RO
+
+#### Server Information
+- Extracts server hostname/IP
+- Displays endpoint (IP:port)
+- Shows connection protocol
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+
+### New Files
+1. `/backend/routes/vpn-configs.js` - Main VPN config management routes
+2. `/frontend/src/components/VPNConfigManager.jsx` - React component for config UI
+
+### Modified Files
+1. `/backend/database/db.js` - Added vpn_configs table
+2. `/backend/server.js` - Registered new route
+3. `/frontend/src/locales/en.json` - Added vpnConfig translations
+4. `/frontend/src/locales/ro.json` - Added vpnConfig translations
+
+## Usage Guide
+
+### For Users
+
+#### Uploading a Configuration
+1. Navigate to VPN Configurations section
+2. Click "Upload Config" button
+3. Select .conf (WireGuard) or .ovpn (OpenVPN) file
+4. Optionally edit the auto-filled name
+5. Click "Upload"
+
+#### Connecting to VPN
+1. Click "Connect" button on desired configuration
+2. System automatically detects protocol and connects
+3. Active configuration is highlighted with green badge
+
+#### Managing Configurations
+- View all configurations in list format
+- See country, server, and creation date
+- Delete unused configurations

+
+### For Developers
+
+#### Adding New VPN Providers
+Update `extractCountryFromEndpoint()` function with new IP ranges or hostname patterns.
+
+#### Extending Parsers
+Add new parser functions for additional VPN protocols following the same pattern as WireGuard/OpenVPN parsers.
+
+#### Custom Validations
+Extend security checks in parser functions as needed for specific VPN providers.
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+### What We Protect Against
+✅ SQL Injection - Parameterized queries
+✅ XSS - Content sanitization
+✅ Script Injection - Pattern detection
+✅ Shell Command Injection - Input validation
+✅ File Upload Attacks - Type & size limits
+✅ Brute Force - Rate limiting
+✅ Unauthorized Access - JWT authentication
+✅ Data Exposure - Encryption at rest
+
+### What Users Should Do
+- Only upload configuration files from trusted VPN providers
+- Keep configurations private
+- Delete unused configurations
+- Disconnect before deleting active configs
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+### Functionality Tests
+- [ ] Upload WireGuard .conf file
+- [ ] Upload OpenVPN .ovpn file
+- [ ] View list of configurations
+- [ ] Connect to WireGuard VPN
+- [ ] Connect to OpenVPN VPN
+- [ ] Delete inactive configuration
+- [ ] Prevent deletion of active configuration
+- [ ] Multiple configurations per user
+- [ ] Country detection works
+
+### Security Tests
+- [ ] Upload non-VPN file (should reject)
+- [ ] Upload oversized file (should reject)
+- [ ] Config with script injection (should reject)
+- [ ] Config with shell commands (should reject)
+- [ ] Access other user's configs (should deny)
+- [ ] Rate limit enforcement

+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### From Old VPN System
+The old OpenVPN credential-based system (`/api/vpn`) remains functional for backward compatibility. Users can choose either:
+1. Old system: Manual credentials + country selection
+2. New system: Upload config files for full control
+
+### Database Migration
+The `vpn_configs` table is automatically created on first app start. No manual migration required.
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- File parsing is synchronous but fast (<100ms for typical configs)
+- Config data is encrypted/decrypted on-demand
+- Database queries are indexed on user_id
+- Rate limiting prevents abuse
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Potential Features
+- [ ] Batch upload multiple configs
+- [ ] Import from URL
+- [ ] Config templates for popular providers
+- [ ] Automatic server location detection with IP geolocation API
+- [ ] Connection speed testing
+- [ ] Favorite/starred configurations
+- [ ] Configuration sharing (with security considerations)
+- [ ] Config validation preview before upload
+- [ ] Support for more VPN protocols (IKEv2, L2TP, etc.)
+
+### Known Limitations
+- No automatic reconnection on connection drop
+- No multi-hop VPN support
+- Country detection based on patterns (may not be 100% accurate)
+- Single active connection per user
+
+## Support
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**"Failed to upload configuration"**
+- Check file is .conf or .ovpn
+- Ensure file is under 1MB
+- Verify file contains valid VPN configuration
+
+**"Failed to connect"**
+- Ensure WireGuard/OpenVPN tools are installed in container
+- Check container has NET_ADMIN capability
+- Verify configuration credentials are valid
+- Check server endpoint is reachable
+
+**"Configuration contains potentially dangerous directives"**
+- OpenVPN config has disallowed scripts
+- Remove or modify script-security directives
+- Use provider's standard configuration
