#### Encrypted TLS TCP port-forwarding & SOCKS5-over-TLS tunnel client & server

Secure Tunnel Client is a lightweight Linux alternative to SoftEther VPN Client
workflows for user-space TLS-encrypted TCP port-forwarding, SOCKS5-over-TLS
tunneling, and Linux network interface monitoring.

Features (100% real sockets and kernel telemetry):

* SQLite-backed TLS Tunnel Profiles supporting both Client Mode and Server Mode
* TLS 1.2 / TLS 1.3 encryption using Python ssl.SSLContext with X.509 certificate
  generation (RSA-2048 PEM) or custom PEM certificate/key files
* Optional pre-shared token authentication and SHA-256 peer certificate pinning
* TCP Port-Forwarding over TLS and built-in RFC 1928 SOCKS5-over-TLS listener
* Real-time TLS cipher negotiation inspector, peer SHA-256 fingerprint, and
  encrypted tunnel RTT ping probe
* Multi-port forward rules manager, live stream monitor, CSV export, and live
  measured TX/RX throughput graph
* System Network & Tunnel Interfaces Inspector reading /sys/class/net,
  /proc/net/dev, /proc/net/if\_inet6, ioctl IPv4 addresses, and /proc/net/route

Honest scope & limitations:
Operates strictly as a user-space TLS-encrypted TCP port-forwarder and
SOCKS5-over-TLS proxy tunnel. It does NOT create a kernel Layer-2/Layer-3
virtual network adapter (TUN/TAP), does not modify system-wide routing tables,
and does not tunnel raw UDP or ICMP packets.
