+- supports optional seeding of default profiles and targets when the database is empty
+- adds dashboard views and state management for managing security profiles and network targets
+- includes tests for reference resolver behavior and API fallback/auth handling
+
+## 2026-04-01 - 12.1.0 - feat(vpn)

+
+- adds persisted per-client VPN settings for SmartProxy enforcement, destination allow/block lists, host IP assignment, DHCP/static IP selection, and VLAN options
+- passes new VPN routing and bridge configuration through request handlers, app state, and the ops UI for creating, editing, and viewing clients
+- supports bridge and hybrid forwarding modes in the VPN manager, including auto-upgrading to hybrid when clients request host IP access
+- updates smartvpn and dees-catalog dependencies to support the new VPN forwarding capabilities
+
+## 2026-03-31 - 12.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(db)

+- updates certificate, security, remote ingress, VPN, and RADIUS components to read and write through document models
+
+## 2026-03-31 - 11.23.5 - fix(config)
+correct VPN mandatory flag default handling in route config manager
+
+- Changes the VPN mandatory check so it only applies when explicitly set to true, matching the updated default behavior of false.

+
+## 2026-03-31 - 11.23.4 - fix(deps)
+bump @push.rocks/smartvpn to 1.17.1
+

+
+## 2026-03-31 - 11.23.2 - fix(repo)
+no changes to commit
+
+
+## 2026-03-31 - 11.23.1 - fix(repo)

+
+## 2026-03-31 - 11.21.5 - fix(routing)
+apply VPN route allowlists dynamically after VPN clients load

 ### How It Works
 
 DcRouter acts purely as an **orchestrator** — it doesn't implement protocols itself. Instead, it wires together best-in-class packages for each protocol:
 
-1. **On `start()`**: DcRouter initializes OpsServer (default port 3000, configurable via `opsServerPort`), then spins up SmartProxy, smartmta, SmartDNS, SmartRadius, and RemoteIngress based on which configs are provided.

SmartProxy uses a Rust-powered engine for maximum throughput. smartmta uses a hybrid TypeScript + Rust architecture for reliable email delivery. RemoteIngress runs a Rust data plane for edge tunnel networking. SmartAcme v9 handles all certificate operations with built-in concurrency control and rate limiting.

+## VPN Access Control
+
+DcRouter integrates [`@push.rocks/smartvpn`](https://code.foss.global/push.rocks/smartvpn) to provide VPN-based route access control. VPN clients connect via standard WireGuard or native WebSocket/QUIC transports, receive an IP from a configurable subnet, and can then access routes that are restricted to VPN-only traffic.
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **SmartVPN daemon** runs inside dcrouter with a Rust data plane (WireGuard via `boringtun`, custom protocol via Noise IK)
+2. Clients connect and get assigned an IP from the VPN subnet (e.g. `10.8.0.0/24`)
+3. **Smart split tunnel** — generated WireGuard configs auto-include the VPN subnet plus DNS-resolved IPs of VPN-gated domains. Domains from routes with `vpn.enabled` are resolved at config generation time, so clients route only the necessary traffic through the tunnel
+4. Routes with `vpn: { enabled: true }` get `security.ipAllowList` dynamically injected (re-computed on every client change). With `mandatory: true` (default), the allowlist is replaced; with `mandatory: false`, VPN IPs are appended to existing rules
+5. When `allowedServerDefinedClientTags` is set, only matching client IPs are injected (not the whole subnet)
+6. SmartProxy enforces the allowlist — only authorized VPN clients can access protected routes
+7. All VPN traffic is forced through SmartProxy via userspace NAT with PROXY protocol v2 — no root required
+
+### Destination Policy
+
+By default, VPN client traffic is redirected to localhost (SmartProxy) via `forceTarget`. You can customize this with a destination policy:
+
+```typescript
+// Default: all traffic → SmartProxy
+destinationPolicy: { default: 'forceTarget', target: '127.0.0.1' }
+
+// Allow direct access to a backend subnet
+destinationPolicy: {
+  default: 'forceTarget',
+  target: '127.0.0.1',
+  allowList: ['192.168.190.*'],     // direct access to this subnet
+  blockList: ['192.168.190.1'],     // except the gateway
+}
+
+// Block everything except specific IPs
+destinationPolicy: {
+  default: 'block',
+  allowList: ['10.0.0.*', '192.168.1.*'],
+}
+```
+
+### Configuration

+        },
+      },
+    ],
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### Client Tags
+
+SmartVPN distinguishes between two types of client tags:
+
+| Tag Type | Set By | Purpose |
+|----------|--------|---------|
+| `serverDefinedClientTags` | Admin (via config or API) | **Trusted** — used for route access control |
+| `clientDefinedClientTags` | Connecting client | **Informational** — displayed in dashboard, never used for security |
+
+Routes with `allowedServerDefinedClientTags` only permit VPN clients whose admin-assigned tags match. Clients cannot influence their own server-defined tags.
+
+### Client Management via OpsServer
+
+The OpsServer dashboard and API provide full VPN client lifecycle management:
+
+- **Create client** — generates WireGuard keypairs, assigns IP, returns a ready-to-use `.conf` file
+- **QR code** — scan with the WireGuard mobile app (iOS/Android) for instant setup
+- **Enable / Disable** — toggle client access without deleting
+- **Rotate keys** — generate fresh keypairs (invalidates old ones)
+- **Export config** — download in WireGuard (`.conf`), SmartVPN (`.json`), or scan as QR code
+- **Telemetry** — per-client bytes sent/received, keepalives, rate limiting
+- **Delete** — remove a client and revoke access
+
+Standard WireGuard clients on any platform (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux) can connect using the generated `.conf` file or by scanning the QR code — no custom VPN software needed.
+

+# DCRouter Storage Overview
+
+DCRouter uses a **unified database layer** backed by `@push.rocks/smartdata` for all persistent data. All data is stored as typed document classes in a single database.
+
+## Database Modes
+
+### Embedded Mode (default)
+When no external MongoDB URL is provided, DCRouter starts an embedded `LocalSmartDb` (Rust-based MongoDB-compatible engine) via `@push.rocks/smartdb`.
+
+```
+~/.serve.zone/dcrouter/tsmdb/
+```
+
+### External Mode
+Connect to any MongoDB-compatible database by providing a connection URL.
+
+```typescript
+dbConfig: {
+  mongoDbUrl: 'mongodb://host:27017',
+  dbName: 'dcrouter',
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+```typescript
+dbConfig: {
+  enabled: true,                                    // default: true
+  mongoDbUrl: undefined,                            // default: embedded LocalSmartDb
+  storagePath: '~/.serve.zone/dcrouter/tsmdb',     // default (embedded mode only)
+  dbName: 'dcrouter',                               // default
+  cleanupIntervalHours: 1,                          // TTL cleanup interval
+}
+```
+
+## Document Classes
+
+All data is stored as smartdata document classes in `ts/db/documents/`.
+
+| Document Class | Collection | Unique Key | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `StoredRouteDoc` | storedRoutes | `id` | Programmatic routes (created via API) |
+| `RouteOverrideDoc` | routeOverrides | `routeName` | Hardcoded route enable/disable overrides |
+| `ApiTokenDoc` | apiTokens | `id` | API tokens (hashed secrets, scopes, expiry) |
+| `VpnServerKeysDoc` | vpnServerKeys | `configId` (singleton) | VPN server Noise + WireGuard keypairs |
+| `VpnClientDoc` | vpnClients | `clientId` | VPN client registrations |
