19.1.0

- Renamed port proxy and SNI handler source files to classes.pp.portproxy.js and classes.pp.snihandler.js respectively
- Updated import paths in index.ts and test files (e.g. in test.ts and test.router.ts) to reference the new file names
- This refactor improves code organization but breaks direct imports from the old paths

+# Certificate Management in SmartProxy v18+
+
+## Overview
+
+SmartProxy v18+ introduces a simplified certificate management system using the new `SmartCertManager` class. This replaces the previous `Port80Handler` and multiple certificate-related modules with a unified, route-based approach.
+
+## Key Changes from Previous Versions
+
+- **No backward compatibility**: This is a clean break from the legacy certificate system
+- **No separate Port80Handler**: ACME challenges are now handled as regular SmartProxy routes
+- **Unified route-based configuration**: Certificates are configured directly in route definitions
+- **Direct integration with @push.rocks/smartacme**: Leverages SmartAcme's built-in capabilities
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Route-Level Certificate Configuration
+
+Certificates are now configured at the route level using the `tls` property:
+
+```typescript
+const route: IRouteConfig = {
+  name: 'secure-website',
+  match: {
+    ports: 443,
+    domains: ['example.com', 'www.example.com']
+  },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
+    tls: {
+      mode: 'terminate',
+      certificate: 'auto',  // Use ACME (Let's Encrypt)
+      acme: {
+        email: 'admin@example.com',
+        useProduction: true,
+        renewBeforeDays: 30
+      }
+    }
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### Static Certificate Configuration
+
+For manually managed certificates:
+
+```typescript
+const route: IRouteConfig = {
+  name: 'api-endpoint',
+  match: {
+    ports: 443,
+    domains: 'api.example.com'
+  },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: { host: 'localhost', port: 9000 },
+    tls: {
+      mode: 'terminate',
+      certificate: {
+        certFile: './certs/api.crt',
+        keyFile: './certs/api.key',
+        ca: '...' // Optional CA chain
+      }
+    }
+  }
+};
+```
+
+## TLS Modes
+
+SmartProxy supports three TLS modes:
+
+1. **terminate**: Decrypt TLS at the proxy and forward plain HTTP
+2. **passthrough**: Pass encrypted TLS traffic directly to the backend
+3. **terminate-and-reencrypt**: Decrypt at proxy, then re-encrypt to backend
+
+## Certificate Storage
+
+Certificates are stored in the `./certs` directory by default:
+
+```
+./certs/
+├── route-name/
+│   ├── cert.pem
+│   ├── key.pem
+│   ├── ca.pem (if available)
+│   └── meta.json
+```
+
+## ACME Integration
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. SmartProxy creates a high-priority route for ACME challenges
+2. When ACME server makes requests to `/.well-known/acme-challenge/*`, SmartProxy handles them automatically
+3. Certificates are obtained and stored locally
+4. Automatic renewal checks every 12 hours
+
+### Configuration Options
+
+```typescript
+export interface IRouteAcme {
+  email: string;                    // Contact email for ACME account
+  useProduction?: boolean;          // Use production servers (default: false)
+  challengePort?: number;           // Port for HTTP-01 challenges (default: 80)
+  renewBeforeDays?: number;         // Days before expiry to renew (default: 30)
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Manual Certificate Operations
+
+```typescript
+// Get certificate status
+const status = proxy.getCertificateStatus('route-name');
+console.log(status);
+// {
+//   domain: 'example.com',
+//   status: 'valid',
+//   source: 'acme',
+//   expiryDate: Date,
+//   issueDate: Date
+// }
+
+// Force certificate renewal
+await proxy.renewCertificate('route-name');
+
+// Manually provision a certificate
+await proxy.provisionCertificate('route-name');
+```
+
+### Events
+
+SmartProxy emits certificate-related events:
+
+```typescript
+proxy.on('certificate:issued', (event) => {
+  console.log(`New certificate for ${event.domain}`);
+});
+
+proxy.on('certificate:renewed', (event) => {
+  console.log(`Certificate renewed for ${event.domain}`);
+});
+
+proxy.on('certificate:expiring', (event) => {
+  console.log(`Certificate expiring soon for ${event.domain}`);
+});
+```
+
+## Migration from Previous Versions
+
+### Before (v17 and earlier)
+
+```typescript
+// Old approach with Port80Handler
+const smartproxy = new SmartProxy({
+  port: 443,
+  acme: {
+    enabled: true,
+    accountEmail: 'admin@example.com',
+    // ... other ACME options
+  }
+});
+
+// Certificate provisioning was automatic or via certProvisionFunction
+```
+
+### After (v18+)
+
+```typescript
+// New approach with route-based configuration
+const smartproxy = new SmartProxy({
+  routes: [{
+    match: { ports: 443, domains: 'example.com' },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
+      tls: {
+        mode: 'terminate',
+        certificate: 'auto',
+        acme: {
+          email: 'admin@example.com',
+          useProduction: true
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }]
+});
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Certificate not provisioning**: Ensure port 80 is accessible for ACME challenges
+2. **ACME rate limits**: Use staging environment for testing
+3. **Permission errors**: Ensure the certificate directory is writable
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+Enable detailed logging to troubleshoot certificate issues:
+
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  enableDetailedLogging: true,
+  // ... other options
+});
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always test with staging ACME servers first**
+2. **Set up monitoring for certificate expiration**
+3. **Use meaningful route names for easier certificate management**
+4. **Store static certificates securely with appropriate permissions**
+5. **Implement certificate status monitoring in production**

+# 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, /* ... */ },
+    // ...
+  }
+];
+```

+# SmartProxy Project Hints
+
+## Project Overview
+- Package: `@push.rocks/smartproxy` – high-performance proxy supporting HTTP(S), TCP, WebSocket, and ACME integration.
+- Written in TypeScript, compiled output in `dist_ts/`, uses ESM with NodeNext resolution.
+
+## Repository Structure
+- `ts/` – TypeScript source files:
+  - `index.ts` exports main modules.
+  - `plugins.ts` centralizes native and third-party imports.
+  - Subdirectories: `networkproxy/`, `nftablesproxy/`, `port80handler/`, `redirect/`, `smartproxy/`.
+  - Key classes: `ProxyRouter` (`classes.router.ts`), `SmartProxy` (`classes.smartproxy.ts`), plus handlers/managers.
+- `dist_ts/` – transpiled `.js` and `.d.ts` files mirroring `ts/` structure.
+- `test/` – test suites in TypeScript:
+  - `test.router.ts` – routing logic (hostname matching, wildcards, path parameters, config management).
+  - `test.smartproxy.ts` – proxy behavior tests (TCP forwarding, SNI handling, concurrency, chaining, timeouts).
+  - `test/helpers/` – utilities (e.g., certificates).
+- `assets/certs/` – placeholder certificates for ACME and TLS.
+
+## Development Setup
+- Requires `pnpm` (v10+).
+- Install dependencies: `pnpm install`.
+- Build: `pnpm build` (runs `tsbuild --web --allowimplicitany`).
+- Test: `pnpm test` (runs `tstest test/`).
+- Format: `pnpm format` (runs `gitzone format`).
+
+## Testing Framework
+- Uses `@push.rocks/tapbundle` (`tap`, `expect`, `expactAsync`).
+- Test files: must start with `test.` and use `.ts` extension.
+- Run specific tests via `tsx`, e.g., `tsx test/test.router.ts`.
+
+## Coding Conventions
+- Import modules via `plugins.ts`:
+  ```ts
+  import * as plugins from './plugins.ts';
+  const server = new plugins.http.Server();
+  ```
+- Reference plugins with full path: `plugins.acme`, `plugins.smartdelay`, `plugins.minimatch`, etc.
+- Path patterns support globs (`*`) and parameters (`:param`) in `ProxyRouter`.
+- Wildcard hostname matching leverages `minimatch` patterns.
+
+## Key Components
+- **ProxyRouter**
+  - Methods: `routeReq`, `routeReqWithDetails`.
+  - Hostname matching: case-insensitive, strips port, supports exact, wildcard, TLD, complex patterns.
+  - Path routing: exact, wildcard, parameter extraction (`pathParams`), returns `pathMatch` and `pathRemainder`.
+  - Config API: `setNewProxyConfigs`, `addProxyConfig`, `removeProxyConfig`, `getHostnames`, `getProxyConfigs`.
+- **SmartProxy**
+  - Manages one or more `net.Server` instances to forward TCP streams.
+  - Options: `preserveSourceIP`, `defaultAllowedIPs`, `globalPortRanges`, `sniEnabled`.
+  - DomainConfigManager: round-robin selection for multiple target IPs.
+  - Graceful shutdown in `stop()`, ensures no lingering servers or sockets.
+
+## Notable Points
+- **TSConfig**: `module: NodeNext`, `verbatimModuleSyntax`, allows `.js` extension imports in TS.
+- Mermaid diagrams and architecture flows in `readme.md` illustrate component interactions and protocol flows.
+- CLI entrypoint (`cli.js`) supports command-line usage (ACME, proxy controls).
+- ACME and certificate handling via `Port80Handler` and `helpers.certificates.ts`.
+
+## TODOs / Considerations
+- Ensure import extensions in source match build outputs (`.ts` vs `.js`).
+- Update `plugins.ts` when adding new dependencies.
+- Maintain test coverage for new routing or proxy features.
+- Keep `ts/` and `dist_ts/` in sync after refactors.

+# ACME/Certificate Simplification Summary
+
+## What Was Done
+
+We successfully implemented the ACME/Certificate simplification plan for SmartProxy:
+
+### 1. Created New Certificate Management System
+
+- **SmartCertManager** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/certificate-manager.ts`): A unified certificate manager that handles both ACME and static certificates
+- **CertStore** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts`): File-based certificate storage system
+
+### 2. Updated Route Types
+
+- Added `IRouteAcme` interface for ACME configuration
+- Added `IStaticResponse` interface for static route responses
+- Extended `IRouteTls` with comprehensive certificate options
+- Added `handler` property to `IRouteAction` for static routes
+
+### 3. Implemented Static Route Handler
+
+- Added `handleStaticAction` method to route-connection-handler.ts
+- Added support for 'static' route type in the action switch statement
+- Implemented proper HTTP response formatting
+
+### 4. Updated SmartProxy Integration
+
+- Removed old CertProvisioner and Port80Handler dependencies
+- Added `initializeCertificateManager` method
+- Updated `start` and `stop` methods to use new certificate manager
+- Added `provisionCertificate`, `renewCertificate`, and `getCertificateStatus` methods
+
+### 5. Simplified NetworkProxyBridge
+
+- Removed all certificate-related logic
+- Simplified to only handle network proxy forwarding
+- Updated to use port-based matching for network proxy routes
+
+### 6. Cleaned Up HTTP Module
+
+- Removed exports for port80 subdirectory
+- Kept only router and redirect functionality
+
+### 7. Created Tests
+
+- Created simplified test for certificate functionality
+- Test demonstrates static route handling and basic certificate configuration
+
+## Key Improvements
+
+1. **No Backward Compatibility**: Clean break from legacy implementations
+2. **Direct SmartAcme Integration**: Uses @push.rocks/smartacme directly without custom wrappers
+3. **Route-Based ACME Challenges**: No separate HTTP server needed
+4. **Simplified Architecture**: Removed unnecessary abstraction layers
+5. **Unified Configuration**: Certificate configuration is part of route definitions
+
+## Configuration Example
+
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  routes: [{
+    name: 'secure-site',
+    match: { ports: 443, domains: 'example.com' },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: { host: 'backend', port: 8080 },
+      tls: {
+        mode: 'terminate',
+        certificate: 'auto',
+        acme: {
+          email: 'admin@example.com',
+          useProduction: true
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }]
+});
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Remove old certificate module and port80 directory
+2. Update documentation with new configuration format
+3. Test with real ACME certificates in staging environment
+4. Add more comprehensive tests for renewal and edge cases
+
+The implementation is complete and builds successfully!

+# 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.
