 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-03-30 - 1.10.2 - fix(client)
+wait for the connection task to shut down cleanly before disconnecting and increase test timeout
+
+- store the spawned client connection task handle and await it during disconnect with a 5 second timeout so the disconnect frame can be sent before closing
+- increase the test script timeout from 60 seconds to 90 seconds to reduce flaky test runs
+
+## 2026-03-29 - 1.10.1 - fix(test, docs, scripts)
+correct test command verbosity, shorten load test timings, and document forwarding modes
+
+- Fixes the test script by removing the duplicated verbose flag in package.json.
+- Reduces load test delays and burst sizes to keep keepalive and connection tests faster and more stable.
+- Updates the README to describe forwardingMode options, userspace NAT support, and related configuration examples.
+
 ## 2026-03-29 - 1.10.0 - feat(rust-server, rust-client, ts-interfaces)
 add configurable packet forwarding with TUN and userspace NAT modes

+### 📦 Packet Forwarding Modes
+
+SmartVPN supports three forwarding modes, configurable per-server and per-client:
+
+| Mode | Flag | Description | Root Required |
+|------|------|-------------|---------------|
+| **TUN** | `'tun'` | Kernel TUN device — real packet forwarding with system routing | ✅ Yes |
+| **Userspace NAT** | `'socket'` | Userspace TCP/UDP proxy via `connect(2)` — no TUN, no root needed | ❌ No |
+| **Testing** | `'testing'` | Monitoring only — packets are counted but not forwarded | ❌ No |
+
+```typescript
+// Server with userspace NAT (no root required)
+await server.start({
+  // ...
+  forwardingMode: 'socket',
+  enableNat: true,
+});
+
+// Client with TUN device
+const { assignedIp } = await client.connect({
+  // ...
+  forwardingMode: 'tun',
+});
+```
+
+The userspace NAT mode extracts destination IP/port from IP packets, opens a real socket to the destination, and relays data — supporting both TCP streams and UDP datagrams without requiring `CAP_NET_ADMIN` or root privileges.
+
 ### 📊 Telemetry & QoS
 
 - **Connection quality**: Smoothed RTT, jitter, min/max RTT, loss ratio, link health (`healthy` / `degraded` / `critical`)
