 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-03-08 - 3.30.0 - feat(PortProxy)
+Add advanced TLS keep-alive handling and system sleep detection
+
+- Implemented system sleep detection to maintain keep-alive connections.
+- Enhanced TLS keep-alive connections with extended timeout and sleep detection mechanisms.

+
+## 2025-03-07 - 3.29.3 - fix(core)
+Fix functional errors in the proxy setup and enhance pnpm configuration
+
+- Corrected pnpm configuration to include specific dependencies as 'onlyBuiltDependencies'.
+
+## 2025-03-07 - 3.29.2 - fix(PortProxy)
+Fix test for PortProxy handling of custom IPs in Docker/CI environments.
+
+- Ensure compatibility with Docker/CI environments by standardizing on 127.0.0.1 for test server setup.

 5. **Fine-tune Inactivity Checks**: Adjust `inactivityCheckInterval` based on your traffic patterns
 
+### IPTables Troubleshooting
+
+If you're experiencing issues with IPTablesProxy:
+
+1. **Enable Detailed Logging**: Set `enableLogging: true` to see all rule operations
+2. **Force Clean Slate**: Use `forceCleanSlate: true` to remove any lingering rules
+3. **Use Custom Chains**: Enable `addJumpRule: true` for cleaner rule management
+4. **Check Permissions**: Ensure your process has sufficient permissions to modify iptables
+5. **Verify IPv6 Support**: If using `ipv6Support: true`, ensure ip6tables is available
