This is a major update.

With version 2.0, PowerTunnel becomes more than an anti-censorship tool. It is now an extensible proxy server that can be extended with plugins that can be written using the PowerTunnel SDK.
Anti-censorship functionality is still available, it has been split into a pre-installed LibertyTunnel plugin, just like the DNS Resolver with DoH support.
PowerTunnel SDK documentation is coming soon.

PowerTunnel has been rewritten from scratch, dozens of bugs have been fixed.
Warning: v1.x configuration is not compatible with v2.x

PowerTunnel is now licensed under the GNU GPLv3 License.
