openpyn 3.0.0

New release in 3 years. This is a major release that includes many improvements and bugfixes including fix for new API rate limiting set by Nordvpn, causing JSONDecodeErrors.

Some of the changes are:

New feature: Allow Openpyn to invoke sudo to run the specified command

Added MacOS manual DNS patch and revert to prevent DNS leak

New option --allow-locally To be used with "-f" to allow input traffic on all ports from locally connected devices / INTERNAL IP SUBNET

[New option --add-route to Add route to default-gateway; Needed to continue serving any service including SSH. Required on VPSs. To ensure it doesn't leak traffic use it with -f and --allow]

New options --allow-config and --allow-config-json. These options load a JSON config object that gets converted into a series of ip table rules that get loaded before the firewall to exclude certain ports.

[Logs are now stored in ~/.local/share/openpyn/logs/ instead of /var/log/openpyn/]

New option --status

Send pings in parrallel

Removed --ping option

Added new Netflix servers

Fixed ping issue on systems with LC_NUMERIC other den en_*

Bugfix, kill_management_client() should be called before kill_openpyn

Bugfix: Revert /etc/resolv.conf only if skip_dns_patch is false

Improvement: invocations of openpyn --kill will now exit with status code 0

Add more verbose logging for JSON decode errors

Bugfix: revert /etc/resolv.conf back to the original if it was modified in a finally block (only for connect code invocations), ran tests on macOS

Changes for ASUSWRT-Merlin

Features (ASUSWRT-Merlin)

Feature: NVRAM connect and kill support for Asuswrt-merlin

Note:
Previously only write support was enabled meaning that a user would have to go to the web interface of the router to toggle an off/on switch, now this process is fully automated, and kill also works as a bonus. So now openpyn has full native Asuswrt-merlin support!
