+# SmartProxy Port Handling
+
+This document covers all the port handling capabilities in SmartProxy, including port range specification, dynamic port mapping, and runtime port management.
+
+## Port Range Syntax
+
+SmartProxy offers flexible port range specification through the `TPortRange` type, which can be defined in three different ways:
+
+### 1. Single Port
+
+```typescript
+// Match a single port
+{
+  match: {
+    ports: 443
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Array of Specific Ports
+
+```typescript
+// Match multiple specific ports
+{
+  match: {
+    ports: [80, 443, 8080]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Port Range
+
+```typescript
+// Match a range of ports
+{
+  match: {
+    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 8100 }]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Mixed Port Specifications
+
+You can combine different port specification methods in a single rule:
+
+```typescript
+// Match both specific ports and port ranges
+{
+  match: {
+    ports: [80, 443, { from: 8000, to: 8100 }]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Port Forwarding Options
+
+SmartProxy offers several ways to handle port forwarding from source to target:
+
+### 1. Static Port Forwarding
+
+Forward to a fixed target port:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: 8080
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Preserve Source Port
+
+Forward to the same port on the target:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: 'preserve'
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Dynamic Port Mapping
+
+Use a function to determine the target port based on connection context:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: (context) => {
+        // Calculate port based on request details
+        return 8000 + (context.port % 100);
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Port Selection Context
+
+When using dynamic port mapping functions, you have access to a rich context object that provides details about the connection:
+
+```typescript
+interface IRouteContext {
+  // Connection information
+  port: number;          // The matched incoming port
+  domain?: string;       // The domain from SNI or Host header
+  clientIp: string;      // The client's IP address
+  serverIp: string;      // The server's IP address
+  path?: string;         // URL path (for HTTP connections)
+  query?: string;        // Query string (for HTTP connections)
+  headers?: Record<string, string>; // HTTP headers (for HTTP connections)
+
+  // TLS information
+  isTls: boolean;        // Whether the connection is TLS
+  tlsVersion?: string;   // TLS version if applicable
+
+  // Route information
+  routeName?: string;    // The name of the matched route
+  routeId?: string;      // The ID of the matched route
+
+  // Additional properties
+  timestamp: number;     // The request timestamp
+  connectionId: string;  // Unique connection identifier
+}
+```
+
+## Common Port Mapping Patterns
+
+### 1. Port Offset Mapping
+
+Forward traffic to target ports with a fixed offset:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: (context) => context.port + 1000
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Domain-Based Port Mapping
+
+Forward to different backend ports based on the domain:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: (context) => {
+        switch (context.domain) {
+          case 'api.example.com': return 8001;
+          case 'admin.example.com': return 8002;
+          case 'staging.example.com': return 8003;
+          default: return 8000;
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Load Balancing with Hash-Based Distribution
+
+Distribute connections across a port range using a deterministic hash function:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: (context) => {
+        // Simple hash function to ensure consistent mapping
+        const hostname = context.domain || '';
+        const hash = hostname.split('').reduce((a, b) => a + b.charCodeAt(0), 0);
+        return 8000 + (hash % 10); // Map to ports 8000-8009
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## IPv6-Mapped IPv4 Compatibility
+
+SmartProxy automatically handles IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses for optimal compatibility. When a connection from an IPv4 address (e.g., `192.168.1.1`) arrives as an IPv6-mapped address (`::ffff:192.168.1.1`), the system normalizes these addresses for consistent matching.
+
+This is particularly important when:
+
+1. Matching client IP restrictions in route configurations
+2. Preserving source IP for outgoing connections
+3. Tracking connections and rate limits
+
+No special configuration is needed - the system handles this normalization automatically.
+
+## Dynamic Port Management
+
+SmartProxy allows for runtime port configuration changes without requiring a restart.
+
+### Adding and Removing Ports
+
+```typescript
+// Get the SmartProxy instance
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({ /* config */ });
+
+// Add a new listening port
+await proxy.addListeningPort(8081);
+
+// Remove a listening port
+await proxy.removeListeningPort(8082);
+```
+
+### Runtime Route Updates
+
+```typescript
+// Get current routes
+const currentRoutes = proxy.getRoutes();
+
+// Add new route for the new port
+const newRoute = {
+  name: 'New Dynamic Route',
+  match: {
+    ports: 8081,
+    domains: ['dynamic.example.com']
+  },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: 9000
+    }
+  }
+};
+
+// Update the route configuration
+await proxy.updateRoutes([...currentRoutes, newRoute]);
+
+// Remove routes for a specific port
+const routesWithout8082 = currentRoutes.filter(route => {
+  const ports = proxy.routeManager.expandPortRange(route.match.ports);
+  return !ports.includes(8082);
+});
+await proxy.updateRoutes(routesWithout8082);
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Port Range Expansion
+
+When using large port ranges, SmartProxy uses internal caching to optimize performance. For example, a range like `{ from: 1000, to: 2000 }` is expanded only once and then cached for future use.
+
+### Port Range Validation
+
+The system automatically validates port ranges to ensure:
+
+1. Port numbers are within the valid range (1-65535)
+2. The "from" value is not greater than the "to" value in range specifications
+3. Port ranges do not contain duplicate entries
+
+Invalid port ranges will be logged as warnings and skipped during configuration.
+
+## Configuration Recipes
+
+### Global Port Range
+
+Listen on a large range of ports and forward to the same ports on a backend:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'Global port range forwarding',
+  match: {
+    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 9000 }]
+  },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: 'preserve'
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Domain-Specific Port Ranges
+
+Different port ranges for different domain groups:
+
+```typescript
+[
+  {
+    name: 'API port range',
+    match: {
+      ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 8099 }]
+    },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: {
+        host: 'api.backend.example.com',
+        port: 'preserve'
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'Admin port range',
+    match: {
+      ports: [{ from: 9000, to: 9099 }]
+    },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: {
+        host: 'admin.backend.example.com',
+        port: 'preserve'
+      }
+    }
+  }
+]
+```
+
+### Mixed Internal/External Port Forwarding
+
+Forward specific high-numbered ports to standard ports on internal servers:
+
+```typescript
+[
+  {
+    name: 'Web server forwarding',
+    match: {
+      ports: [8080, 8443]
+    },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: {
+        host: 'web.internal',
+        port: (context) => context.port === 8080 ? 80 : 443
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'Database forwarding',
+    match: {
+      ports: [15432]
+    },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: {
+        host: 'db.internal',
+        port: 5432
+      }
+    }
+  }
+]
+```
+
+## Debugging Port Configurations
+
+When troubleshooting port forwarding issues, enable detailed logging:
+
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  routes: [ /* your routes */ ],
+  enableDetailedLogging: true
+});
+```
+
+This will log:
+- Port configuration during startup
+- Port matching decisions during routing
+- Dynamic port function results
+- Connection details including source and target ports
+
+## Port Security Considerations
+
+### Restricting Ports
+
+For security, you may want to restrict which ports can be accessed by specific clients:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'Restricted port range',
+  match: {
+    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 9000 }],
+    clientIp: ['10.0.0.0/8'] // Only internal network can access these ports
+  },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'internal.example.com',
+      port: 'preserve'
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Rate Limiting by Port
+
+Apply different rate limits for different port ranges:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'API ports with rate limiting',
+  match: {
+    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 8100 }]
+  },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'api.example.com',
+      port: 'preserve'
+    },
+    security: {
+      rateLimit: {
+        enabled: true,
+        maxRequests: 100,
+        window: 60 // 60 seconds
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use Specific Port Ranges**: Instead of large ranges (e.g., 1-65535), use specific ranges for specific purposes
+
+2. **Prioritize Routes**: When multiple routes could match, use the `priority` field to ensure the most specific route is matched first
+
+3. **Name Your Routes**: Use descriptive names to make debugging easier, especially when using port ranges
+
+4. **Use Preserve Port Where Possible**: Using `port: 'preserve'` is more efficient and easier to maintain than creating multiple specific mappings
+
+5. **Limit Dynamic Port Functions**: While powerful, complex port functions can be harder to debug; prefer simple map or math-based functions
+
+6. **Use Port Variables**: For complex setups, define your port ranges as variables for easier maintenance:
+
+```typescript
+const API_PORTS = [{ from: 8000, to: 8099 }];
+const ADMIN_PORTS = [{ from: 9000, to: 9099 }];
+
+const routes = [
+  {
+    name: 'API Routes',
+    match: { ports: API_PORTS, /* ... */ },
+    // ...
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'Admin Routes',
+    match: { ports: ADMIN_PORTS, /* ... */ },
+    // ...
+  }
+];
+```

-## Migration from v13.x to v14.0.0
+## Migration to v16.0.0
 
-Version 14.0.0 introduces a breaking change with the new route-based configuration system:
+Version 16.0.0 completes the migration to a fully unified route-based configuration system with improved helper functions:
 
 ### Key Changes
 
-1. **Configuration Structure**: The configuration now uses the match/action pattern instead of the old domain-based and port-based approach
-2. **SmartProxy Options**: Now takes an array of route configurations instead of `domainConfigs` and port ranges
-3. **Helper Functions**: New helper functions have been introduced to simplify configuration
+1. **Pure Route-Based API**: The configuration now exclusively uses the match/action pattern with no legacy interfaces
+2. **Improved Helper Functions**: Enhanced helper functions with cleaner parameter signatures
+3. **Removed Legacy Support**: Legacy domain-based APIs have been completely removed
+4. **More Route Pattern Helpers**: Additional helper functions for common routing patterns
 
 ### Migration Example

 ```typescript
 import { SmartProxy, createDomainConfig, httpOnly, tlsTerminateToHttp } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy';

-### Migration Steps
+### Migration from v14.x/v15.x to v16.0.0
 
-1. Replace `domainConfigs` with an array of route configurations using `routes`
-2. Convert each domain configuration to use the new helper functions
-3. Update any code that uses `updateDomainConfigs()` to use `addRoutes()` or `updateRoutes()`
-4. For port-only configurations, create route configurations with port matching only
-5. For SNI-based routing, SNI is now automatically enabled when needed
+If you're already using route-based configuration, update your helper function calls:
+
+```typescript
+// Old v14.x/v15.x style:
+createHttpsRoute({
+  domains: 'example.com',
+  target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
+  certificate: 'auto'
+})
+
+// New v16.0.0 style:
+createHttpsTerminateRoute('example.com', { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 }, {
+  certificate: 'auto'
+})
+```
+
+### Complete Migration Steps
+
+1. Replace any remaining `domainConfigs` with route-based configuration using the `routes` array
+2. Update helper function calls to use the newer parameter format (domain first, target second, options third)
+3. Use the new specific helper functions (e.g., `createHttpsTerminateRoute` instead of `createHttpsRoute`)
+4. Update any code that uses `updateDomainConfigs()` to use `addRoutes()` or `updateRoutes()`
+5. For port-only configurations, create route configurations with port matching only

-# SmartProxy Fully Unified Configuration Plan (Updated)
+# NFTables-SmartProxy Integration Plan
 
-## Project Goal
-Redesign SmartProxy's configuration for a more elegant, unified, and comprehensible approach by:
-1. Creating a single, unified configuration model that covers both "where to listen" and "how to forward"
-2. Eliminating the confusion between domain configs and port forwarding
-3. Providing a clear, declarative API that makes the intent obvious
-4. Enhancing maintainability and extensibility for future features
-5. Completely removing legacy code to eliminate technical debt
+## Overview
 
-## Current Issues
+This document outlines a comprehensive plan to integrate the existing NFTables functionality with the SmartProxy core to provide advanced network-level routing capabilities. The NFTables proxy already exists in the codebase but is not fully integrated with the SmartProxy routing system. This integration will allow SmartProxy to leverage the power of Linux's NFTables firewall system for high-performance port forwarding, load balancing, and security filtering.
 
-The current approach has several issues:
+## Current State
 
-1. **Dual Configuration Systems**:
-   - Port configuration (`fromPort`, `toPort`, `globalPortRanges`) for "where to listen"
-   - Domain configuration (`domainConfigs`) for "how to forward"
-   - Unclear relationship between these two systems
+1. **NFTablesProxy**: A standalone implementation exists in `ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/` with its own configuration and API.
+2. **SmartProxy**: The main routing system with route-based configuration.
+3. **No Integration**: Currently, these systems operate independently with no shared configuration or coordination.
 
-2. **Mixed Concerns**:
-   - Port management is mixed with forwarding logic
-   - Domain routing is separated from port listening
-   - Security settings defined in multiple places
+## Goals
 
-3. **Complex Logic**:
-   - PortRangeManager must coordinate with domain configuration
-   - Implicit rules for handling connections based on port and domain
+1. Create a unified configuration system where SmartProxy routes can specify NFTables-based forwarding.
+2. Allow SmartProxy to dynamically provision and manage NFTables rules based on route configuration.
+3. Support advanced filtering and security rules through NFTables for better performance.
+4. Ensure backward compatibility with existing setups.
+5. Provide metrics integration between the systems.
 
-4. **Difficult to Understand and Configure**:
-   - Two separate configuration hierarchies that must work together
-   - Unclear which settings take precedence
+## Implementation Plan
 
-## Proposed Solution: Fully Unified Routing Configuration
+### Phase 1: Route Configuration Schema Extension
 
-Replace both port and domain configuration with a single, unified configuration:
+1. **Extend Route Configuration Schema**:
+   - Add new `forwardingEngine` option to IRouteAction to specify the forwarding implementation.
+   - Support values: 'node' (current NodeJS implementation) and 'nftables' (Linux NFTables).
+   - Add NFTables-specific configuration options to IRouteAction.
+
+2. **Update Type Definitions**:
+   ```typescript
+   // In route-types.ts
+   export interface IRouteAction {
+     type: 'forward' | 'redirect' | 'block';
+     target?: IRouteTarget;
+     security?: IRouteSecurity;
+     options?: IRouteOptions;
+     tls?: IRouteTlsOptions;
+     forwardingEngine?: 'node' | 'nftables';  // New field
+     nftables?: INfTablesOptions;             // New field
+   }
+
+   export interface INfTablesOptions {
+     preserveSourceIP?: boolean;
+     protocol?: 'tcp' | 'udp' | 'all';
+     maxRate?: string;                // QoS rate limiting
+     priority?: number;               // QoS priority
+     tableName?: string;              // Optional custom table name
+     useIPSets?: boolean;             // Use IP sets for performance
+     useAdvancedNAT?: boolean;        // Use connection tracking
+   }
+   ```
+
+### Phase 2: NFTablesManager Implementation
+
+1. **Create NFTablesManager Class**:
+   - Create a new class to manage NFTables rules based on SmartProxy routes.
+   - Add methods to create, update, and remove NFTables rules.
+   - Design a rule naming scheme to track which rules correspond to which routes.
+
+2. **Implementation**:
+   ```typescript
+   // In ts/proxies/smart-proxy/nftables-manager.ts
+   export class NFTablesManager {
+     private rulesMap: Map<string, NfTablesProxy> = new Map();

+     public async getNfTablesStatus(): Promise<Record<string, NfTablesStatus>> {
+       return this.nftablesManager.getStatus();
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+### Phase 4: Routing System Integration
+
+1. **Extend the Route-Connection-Handler**:
+   - Modify to check if a route uses NFTables.
+   - Skip Node.js-based connection handling for NFTables routes.
+
+2. **Implementation**:
+   ```typescript
+   // In ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-connection-handler.ts
+   export class RouteConnectionHandler {
+     // Existing methods
+     
+     /**
+      * Route the connection based on match criteria
+      */
+     private routeConnection(
+       socket: plugins.net.Socket, 
+       record: IConnectionRecord,
+       serverName: string,
+       initialChunk?: Buffer
+     ): void {
+       // Find matching route
+       const routeMatch = this.routeManager.findMatchingRoute({
+         port: record.localPort,
+         domain: serverName,
+         clientIp: record.remoteIP,
+         path: undefined,
+         tlsVersion: undefined
+       });
+       
+       if (!routeMatch) {
+         // Existing code for no matching route
+         return;
+       }
+       
+       const route = routeMatch.route;
+       
+       // Check if this route uses NFTables for forwarding
+       if (route.action.forwardingEngine === 'nftables') {
+         // For NFTables routes, we don't need to do anything at the application level
+         // The packet is forwarded at the kernel level
+         
+         // Log the connection
+         console.log(
+           `[${record.id}] Connection forwarded by NFTables: ${record.remoteIP} -> port ${record.localPort}`
+         );
+         
+         // Just close the socket in our application since it's handled at kernel level
+         socket.end();
+         this.connectionManager.initiateCleanupOnce(record, 'nftables_handled');
+         return;
+       }
+       
+       // Existing code for handling the route
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+### Phase 5: CLI and Configuration Helpers
+
+1. **Add Helper Functions**:
+   - Create helper functions for easy route creation with NFTables.
+   - Update the route-helpers.ts utility file.
+
+2. **Implementation**:
+   ```typescript
+   // In ts/proxies/smart-proxy/utils/route-helpers.ts
+   
+   /**
+    * Create an NFTables-based route
+    */
+   export function createNfTablesRoute(
+     nameOrDomains: string | string[],
+     target: { host: string; port: number | 'preserve' },
+     options: {
+       ports?: TPortRange;
+       protocol?: 'tcp' | 'udp' | 'all';
+       preserveSourceIP?: boolean;
+       allowedIps?: string[];
+       maxRate?: string;
+       priority?: number;
+       useTls?: boolean;
+     } = {}
+   ): IRouteConfig {
+     // Determine if this is a name or domain
+     let name: string;
+     let domains: string | string[];
+     
+     if (Array.isArray(nameOrDomains) || nameOrDomains.includes('.')) {
+       domains = nameOrDomains;
+       name = Array.isArray(nameOrDomains) ? nameOrDomains[0] : nameOrDomains;
+     } else {
+       name = nameOrDomains;
+       domains = []; // No domains
+     }
+     
+     const route: IRouteConfig = {
+       name,
+       match: {
+         domains,
+         ports: options.ports || 80
+       },
+       action: {
+         type: 'forward',
+         target: {
+           host: target.host,
+           port: target.port
+         },
+         forwardingEngine: 'nftables',
+         nftables: {
+           protocol: options.protocol || 'tcp',
+           preserveSourceIP: options.preserveSourceIP,
+           maxRate: options.maxRate,
+           priority: options.priority
+         }
+       }
+     };
+     
+     // Add security if allowed IPs are specified
+     if (options.allowedIps?.length) {
+       route.action.security = {
+         ipAllowList: options.allowedIps
+       };
+     }
+     
+     // Add TLS options if needed
+     if (options.useTls) {
+       route.action.tls = {
+         mode: 'passthrough'
+       };
+     }
+     
+     return route;
+   }
+   
+   /**
+    * Create an NFTables-based TLS termination route
+    */
+   export function createNfTablesTerminateRoute(
+     nameOrDomains: string | string[],
+     target: { host: string; port: number | 'preserve' },
+     options: {
+       ports?: TPortRange;
+       protocol?: 'tcp' | 'udp' | 'all';
+       preserveSourceIP?: boolean;
+       allowedIps?: string[];
+       maxRate?: string;
+       priority?: number;
+       certificate?: string | { cert: string; key: string };
+     } = {}
+   ): IRouteConfig {
+     const route = createNfTablesRoute(
+       nameOrDomains,
+       target,
+       {
+         ...options,
+         ports: options.ports || 443,
+         useTls: false
+       }
+     );
+     
+     // Set TLS termination
+     route.action.tls = {
+       mode: 'terminate',
+       certificate: options.certificate || 'auto'
+     };
+     
+     return route;
+   }
+   ```
+
+### Phase 6: Documentation and Testing
+
+1. **Update Documentation**:
+   - Add NFTables integration documentation to README and API docs.
+   - Document the implementation and use cases.
+
+2. **Test Cases**:
+   - Create test cases for NFTables-based routing.
+   - Test performance comparison with Node.js-based forwarding.
+   - Test security features with IP allowlists/blocklists.

-## Revised Implementation Plan
+## Expected Benefits
 
-### Phase 1: Core Design & Interface Definition
+1. **Performance**: NFTables operates at the kernel level, offering much higher performance than Node.js-based routing.
+2. **Scalability**: Handle more connections with less CPU and memory usage.
+3. **Security**: Leverage kernel-level security features for better protection.
+4. **Integration**: Unified configuration model between application and network layers.
+5. **Advanced Features**: Support for QoS, rate limiting, and other advanced networking features.
 
-1. **Define New Core Interfaces**:
-   - Create `IRouteConfig` interface with `match` and `action` branches
-   - Define all sub-interfaces for matching and actions
-   - Create new `ISmartProxyOptions` to use `routes` array exclusively
-   - Define template variable system for dynamic values
+## Implementation Notes
 
-2. **Create Helper Functions**:
-   - `createRoute()` - Basic route creation with reasonable defaults
-   - `createHttpRoute()`, `createHttpsRoute()`, `createRedirect()` - Common scenarios
-   - `createLoadBalancer()` - For multi-target setups
-   - `mergeSecurity()`, `mergeDefaults()` - For combining configs
+- This integration requires root/sudo access to configure NFTables rules.
+- Consider adding a capability check to gracefully fall back to Node.js routing if NFTables is not available.
+- The NFTables integration should be optional and SmartProxy should continue to work without it.
+- The integration provides a path for future extensions to other kernel-level networking features.
 
-3. **Design Router**:
-   - Decision tree for route matching algorithm
-   - Priority system for route ordering
-   - Optimized lookup strategy for fast routing
+## Timeline

-   - Offer code transformation helpers for complex setups
-
-## Benefits of the Clean Approach
-
-1. **Reduced Complexity**:
-   - No overlapping or conflicting configuration systems
-   - No dual maintenance of backward compatibility code
-   - Simplified internal architecture
-
-2. **Cleaner Code Base**:
-   - Removal of technical debt
-   - Better separation of concerns
-   - More maintainable codebase
-
-3. **Better User Experience**:
-   - Consistent, predictable API

-   - Clear documentation of one approach, not two
-
-4. **Future-Proof Design**:
-   - Easier to extend with new features
-   - Better performance without legacy overhead
-   - Cleaner foundation for future enhancements
-
-## Migration Support
-
-While we're removing backward compatibility from the codebase, we'll provide extensive migration support:
-
-1. **Migration Guide**:
-   - Detailed documentation on moving from legacy to route-based config
-   - Pattern-matching examples for all common use cases
-   - Troubleshooting guide for common migration issues
-
-2. **Conversion Tool**:
-   - Provide a standalone one-time conversion tool
-   - Takes legacy configuration and outputs route-based equivalents
-   - Will not be included in the main package to avoid bloat
-
-3. **Version Policy**:
-   - Maintain the legacy version (13.x) for security updates
-   - Make the route-based version a clear major version change (14.0.0)
-   - Clearly communicate the breaking changes
-
-## Timeline and Versioning
-
-1. **Development**:
-   - Develop route-based implementation in a separate branch
-   - Complete full test coverage of new implementation
-   - Ensure documentation is complete
-
-2. **Release**:
-   - Release as version 14.0.0
-   - Clearly mark as breaking change
-   - Provide migration guide at release time
-
-3. **Support**:
-   - Offer extended support for migration questions
-   - Consider maintaining security updates for v13.x for 6 months
-   - Focus active development on route-based version only

+# NFTables Naming Consolidation Summary
+
+This document summarizes the changes made to consolidate the naming convention for IP allow/block lists in the NFTables integration.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+1. **Updated NFTablesProxy interface** (`ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/models/interfaces.ts`):
+   - Changed `allowedSourceIPs` to `ipAllowList`
+   - Changed `bannedSourceIPs` to `ipBlockList`
+
+2. **Updated NFTablesProxy implementation** (`ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts`):
+   - Updated all references from `allowedSourceIPs` to `ipAllowList`
+   - Updated all references from `bannedSourceIPs` to `ipBlockList`
+
+3. **Updated NFTablesManager** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/nftables-manager.ts`):
+   - Changed mapping from `allowedSourceIPs` to `ipAllowList`
+   - Changed mapping from `bannedSourceIPs` to `ipBlockList`
+
+## Files Already Using Consistent Naming
+
+The following files already used the consistent naming convention `ipAllowList` and `ipBlockList`:
+
+1. **Route helpers** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/utils/route-helpers.ts`)
+2. **Integration test** (`test/test.nftables-integration.ts`)
+3. **NFTables example** (`examples/nftables-integration.ts`)
+4. **Route types** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/models/route-types.ts`)
+
+## Result
+
+The naming is now consistent throughout the codebase:
+- `ipAllowList` is used for lists of allowed IP addresses
+- `ipBlockList` is used for lists of blocked IP addresses
+
+This matches the naming convention already established in SmartProxy's core routing system.
