V-Nexus 3.0.0

This major release marks the complete migration from Electron to Tauri, bringing significant improvements in performance, security, and stability.

Major Improvements (vs V2)

1. Architecture Migration (Electron to Tauri)

• Zero Bloat: Replaced the heavy Electron framework (Chromium + Node.js) with Tauri v2 (Rust + Native Webview).
• Memory Efficiency: RAM usage reduced by approximately 90%.
• Installer Size: Setup file size significantly reduced. (~35mb vs ~205mb)

2. High-Performance Rust Backend

• Native Execution: Core logic now runs in compiled Rust for maximum speed.
• Instant Connection: Optimized polling engine reduces connection startup time to under 0.5 seconds. (proxy mode)
• Stability: Thread-safe process management prevents zombie processes.

3. Enhanced "Tun Mode" (Global Proxy)

• Kernel-Level Routing: Completely rewritten Tun implementation using tun2socks and Rust.
• Firewall Kill Switch: New Robust Kill Switch uses Windows Firewall rules to prevent traffic leaks if the VPN drops.
• Auto-Recovery: Added an "Emergency Cleanup" routine that automatically detects and fixes network settings if the app was previously force-closed (End Task).
• DNS Leak Protection: Switched to native netsh configuration for reliable DNS setting enforcement.

4. Code Signing & Security

• Reduced False Positives: Clean architecture reduces antivirus flags common with Electron packers.
• Secure Permissions: The application now requests Admin privileges only when absolutely necessary using native Windows APIs.
