 All notable changes to **NX9-WG (`nx9-wg`)** are documented here.
 
+## [1.1.0] — 2026-09-02
+
+### Added
+- **Interface Roles**: Explicit `InterfaceRole` discriminator (`Overlay` vs `Upstream`). Primary interface `wg0` is protected from deletion and disabling.
+- **Optional Third-Party Upstream Interfaces**: In-process parser and validator for standard third-party WireGuard `.conf` files (validated against ProtonVPN), creating managed `Upstream` interfaces (e.g. `proton0`) with exactly one provider peer.
+- **REST API Endpoints**: Added `POST /api/v1/interfaces/upstreams/preview` (dry-run configuration validation with secret redaction), `POST /api/v1/interfaces/upstreams/import` (atomic SQLite persistence and reconciliation), and `POST /api/v1/interfaces/{id}/restart` (link teardown and re-synchronization).
+- **Native CLI Commands**: Added `nx9-wg interface upstream` command suite (`list`, `show`, `import`, `status`, `enable`, `disable`, `restart`, `delete`) and `nx9-wg interface restart`.
+- **Read-Only SPA CLI Console**: Embedded web-based CLI runner enforcing a strict read-only command allowlist and output secret scrubbing.
+- **Reconciliation Hardening**: Added orphan kernel interface detection and removal during `apply()`, backed by empty-desired-state safety guards preventing destructive cleanup on database read failures.
+- **Provider AllowedIPs Preservation**: Upstream provider peers retain full-tunnel AllowedIPs (`0.0.0.0/0, ::/0`) in WireGuard Cryptokey Routing without modifying or hijacking host Linux FIB default routes.
+
+### Changed
+- **Optional Local Listen Ports**: Changed `Interface.listen_port` to `Option<u16>` across domain models, Netlink device configuration, REST API, and SQLite database (`0005_optional_listen_port.sql`).
+- **Dynamic Port Web UI**: Unspecified listen ports are rendered as `Auto (Dynamic)` rather than a fabricated `51820`.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Local Listen Port Collision (errno=-98 / EADDRINUSE)**: Fixed upstream interfaces defaulting omitted `ListenPort` to `51820`, which collided with `wg0`. Omitted listen ports now remain `None`, allowing Linux WireGuard to bind an ephemeral dynamic UDP port.
+- **Reconciliation Dynamic Port Drift**: Suppressed false listen-port drift when desired `listen_port` is `None` and the kernel reports a dynamic port.
+- **Provider Endpoint Port Independence**: Ensured remote destination `[Peer] Endpoint` port (e.g. `37.19.199.155:51820`) is strictly preserved and never assigned as the local interface listen port.
+
+### Interoperability Status
+- **ProtonVPN**: ProtonVPN WireGuard `.conf` files import and synchronize cleanly into Linux kernel devices (`proton0`) with dynamic local listen ports. Upstream connectivity status is classified as `interop_pending_external_validation` (pending external provider session/endpoint resolution, not an NX9-WG implementation defect).

-## 1. Executive Summary
-
-`nx9-wg` is a sovereign, self-hosted, Linux-native VPN and network control plane built directly around the Linux kernel's in-tree WireGuard implementation (`wireguard.ko`).
-
-Rather than functioning as a fragile user interface wrapper that shells out to external command-line utilities (`wg`, `ip`, `nft`, `sysctl`), `nx9-wg` establishes an integrated, single-binary architecture. It combines **authoritative SQLite desired-state persistence**, **direct kernel Netlink execution** (RTNETLINK and WireGuard Generic Netlink), **in-process Netfilter firewall/NAT compilation** (`libnftables.so.1`), **continuous closed-loop reconciliation**, a **multi-format native CLI**, and an **embedded zero-dependency Single Page Application (SPA) Web UI**.
-
----
-
-## 2. The NX9 Philosophy in Implementation
-
-Every design and architectural choice in `nx9-wg` directly reflects the core philosophy of the **NX9 Ecosystem** ([https://nx9.in](https://nx9.in)):
-
-| NX9 Principle | Core Intent | `nx9-wg` Implementation |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| 🔑 **Operator Ownership** | Full control over binaries, configurations, databases, keys, and backups with zero dependency on cloud-hosted control planes. | 100% local operation. Private keys, configuration data, and encryption parameters never leave the operator's host. |
-| 🖥️ **Self-Hosting First** | Built to be deployed and operated effortlessly by a single administrator without requiring Kubernetes or external infrastructure. | Self-contained single executable. Bootstrapped with a single command (`nx9-wg init`), running seamlessly under standard systemd. |
-| ⚡ **Simplicity Over Complexity** | One binary, one configuration file, one SQLite database, one administrator. | No multi-daemon orchestration, no external message queues, no Node.js runtime, no Python scripts, and zero shell wrappers. |
-| 🛡️ **Privacy by Default** | Zero analytics, zero telemetry collection, zero third-party tracking, and zero assumptions of external cloud connectivity. | No phone-home telemetry. Completely air-gapped capable with all static assets, fonts, and scripts embedded in the binary. |
-| 🔒 **Security by Design** | Modern cryptography, strict invariants, and append-only audit logging embedded from day one. | Argon2id password hashing, SHA-256 token digests, X25519 key generation, single-admin database constraint (`CHECK (id=1)`), and strict secret redaction. |
-| 🔧 **Operational Excellence** | Diagnostics, backup/restore, migration tools, CLI management, and comprehensive documentation built-in. | Multi-subsystem automated health inspections, atomic online SQLite `VACUUM INTO` snapshots with SHA-256 manifests, and 100% CLI parity. |
-| ⏳ **Long-Term Stability** | Avoid dependency churn. Build software that remains understandable and maintainable years into the future. | Built in stable native Rust (Edition 2024), standard SQLite 3 storage, standard TOML configuration, and POSIX-compliant systemd integration. |
-| 🌐 **Open Source First** | 100% free and open-source software under permissive licensing. | Dual-licensed under `MIT OR Apache-2.0`. Complete freedom to inspect, audit, build, and extend. |
-| ♾️ **Zero Vendor Lock-In** | Standard data formats, open protocols, and zero proprietary cloud lock-in. | Standard SQLite database, standard WireGuard `.conf` files, standard RFC-compliant JSON/YAML/CSV output formats, and open Netlink sockets. |

-### The Six Reconciliation Lifecycle States
-1. **`Plan`**: Read-only calculation of drift between SQLite and kernel.
-2. **`Applying`**: In-progress dispatch of native mutations across execution planes.
-3. **`Verifying`**: Querying live kernel state to confirm applied changes took effect.
-4. **`Converged`**: 100% synchronization achieved with zero remaining drift.
-5. **`PartialFailure`**: One or more execution planes failed during apply (e.g. permission error).
-6. **`DriftRemains`**: Apply completed without fatal error, but post-verification detected unapplied state.

-## 8. Embedded Single Page Application (SPA) & WebSockets
-
-The `nx9-wg` frontend is a zero-dependency HTML5/CSS/JavaScript SPA embedded directly into the Rust binary:
-
-- **Zero External Toolchains**: No Node.js, npm, Webpack, Vite, React, or external CDN dependencies.
-- **Embedded In-Memory Delivery**: Bundled at compile-time via `include_str!()` and served from memory.
-- **Design Tokens**: Custom CSS token system ([`crates/nx9-wg-ui/src/css.rs`](file:///home/sunil/Programs/nx9-wg/crates/nx9-wg-ui/src/css.rs)) supporting Light and Dark modes.
-- **Real-Time WebSocket Stream**: Subscribes to `ws://<host>/api/v1/ws` for live handshakes and drift alerts without polling.
-- **15 Interactive Views**:
-  1. `#dashboard` — System overview, uptime, interface/peer counts, health cards.
-  2. `#interfaces` — WireGuard interface CRUD, listen port, MTU, state toggles.
-  3. `#peers` — Enrolled peer table, real-time handshakes, profile resolution, `.conf` export, SVG QR modal.
-  4. `#networks` — Subnet network ranges, CIDR masks, available IP inspector.
-  5. `#routes` — Kernel route definitions, gateway assignments, interface scoping.
-  6. `#firewall` — nftables packet filtering rules in `table inet nx9_wg`, priority sorting.
-  7. `#nat` — Managed subnet NAT masquerade status and instant toggle.
-  8. `#forwarding` — Kernel IPv4/IPv6 packet forwarding status and toggle.
-  9. `#reconciliation` — Real-time kernel drift overview, action plan table, interactive Apply button.
-  10. `#diagnostics` — Automated multi-subsystem health checks with remediation hints.
-  11. `#live-state` — Raw Linux Netlink telemetry, active kernel interfaces, live routing table.
-  12. `#settings` — Key-value appliance parameters and danger zone reset controls.
-  13. `#backups` — Online SQLite backup snapshots list, instant backup creation, `.db` download.
-  14. `#audit` — Append-only security and administrative audit trail.
-  15. `#administrator` — Admin account verification, password rotation, and one-time API token generation.

-## 9. REST API & WebSocket Protocol Reference
-
-### Authentication Mechanisms
-- **Session Cookie**: `nx9_session=<UUID>` returned via `POST /api/v1/auth/login`.
-- **Bearer Token**: `Authorization: Bearer nx9_<UUID>_<SECRET>` passed in HTTP headers.

-## 11. Security Model & Capability Isolation
-
-### A. Single Administrator Identity
-- Database-level integrity constraint: `CHECK (id = 1)` in `admins` table.
-- Eliminates multi-tenant privilege escalation and role-confusion attack surfaces.
-
-### B. Credential Protection
-- **Passwords**: Hashed with Argon2id using unique cryptographic salts.
-- **API Tokens**: Stored exclusively as SHA-256 digests in SQLite; raw tokens are displayed once upon creation.
-- **Secret Redaction**: Private keys, preshared keys, and password hashes implement custom `std::fmt::Debug` implementations returning `[REDACTED]`.

-## 2. Key Capabilities
+- **Explicit Interface Roles (Overlay vs Upstream)**: Formal separation of the primary protected overlay interface (`wg0`) from optional third-party WireGuard VPN upstream interfaces (e.g. `proton0`).
-
+- **Third-Party WireGuard .conf Import**: In-process parser and validator for standard `.conf` files (supporting single `[Interface]` and single `[Peer]`), with live configuration preview before atomic database persistence.
-- **WireGuard Interface & Peer Lifecycle**: Direct RTNETLINK link management (`RTM_NEWLINK`/`RTM_DELLINK`) and WireGuard Generic Netlink (`WG_CMD_SET_DEVICE`/`WG_CMD_GET_DEVICE`) with cryptokey routing.
+- **Optional Local Listen Ports**: Strict modeling of `Interface.listen_port` as `Option<u16>`, allowing Linux WireGuard to select ephemeral dynamic UDP ports when `ListenPort` is omitted from imported configurations, preventing local port collisions with `wg0` (51820).
+- **WireGuard Interface & Peer Lifecycle**: Direct RTNETLINK link management (`RTM_NEWLINK`/`RTM_DELLINK`) and WireGuard Generic Netlink (`WG_CMD_SET_DEVICE`/`WG_CMD_GET_DEVICE`) with role-aware cryptokey routing.
 - **Persistent Server Endpoint Settings**: Authoritative configuration of public client-reachable endpoint (`wireguard.server_host`, `wireguard.server_port`, `wireguard.server_endpoint_enabled`) automatically embedded into client exports and QR codes.
-- **Strict AllowedIPs Semantic Separation**: Correctly derives server-side cryptokey routing AllowedIPs (`/32` and `/128`) from assigned tunnel addresses, distinct from client full-tunnel (`0.0.0.0/0, ::/0`) routing policies.
+- **Strict AllowedIPs Semantic Separation**: Correctly derives server-side cryptokey routing AllowedIPs (`/32` and `/128`) from assigned tunnel addresses for Overlay peers, while preserving full-tunnel provider AllowedIPs (`0.0.0.0/0, ::/0`) for Upstream peers without mutating the host default routing table.
 - **IPv4/IPv6 Address Management**: In-process `RTM_NEWADDR` and `RTM_DELADDR` Netlink execution without invoking `ip addr`.
 - **Protected Route Management**: In-process routing table reconciliation protecting host default routes from accidental disruption.
 - **In-Process nftables Firewall & NAT**: Transactional rule compilation via `libnftables.so.1` strictly scoped to `table inet nx9_wg`.
 - **Scoped Outbound NAT Masquerade**: Automated masquerading scoped to managed WireGuard client subnets and non-WireGuard egress interfaces.
 - **Atomic IP Packet Forwarding**: Direct `/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward` and IPv6 forwarding control.
 - **Live Kernel Telemetry**: Live handshake timestamps, authenticated roaming endpoints, and 64-bit RX/TX byte counters merged into API and WebUI responses.
-- **Closed-Loop Reconciliation**: Continuous drift detection, dry-run deterministic planning, and serialized convergence.
+- **Closed-Loop Reconciliation**: Continuous drift detection, dry-run deterministic planning, orphan interface removal, and serialized convergence with empty-desired-state safety guards.
 - **Cold-Boot Restart Recovery**: Deterministic reconstruction of live kernel networking from authoritative SQLite state upon boot.
 - **Single Administrator Identity**: Database-level `CHECK (id = 1)` constraint, Argon2id password hashing, and SHA-256 API token digests.
-- **Zero-Dependency Single Page Application (SPA)**: Embedded HTML5/CSS/JS frontend with dark/light themes, live WebSocket telemetry, and responsive mobile-first UI.

+
+### A. Role Discriminator & Invariants
+- **`InterfaceRole::Overlay`**: The primary private WireGuard overlay network. Exactly one instance exists (`wg0`). It binds to an explicit listen port (`51820`), hosts enrolled client peers, and is protected from deletion or disabling.
+- **`InterfaceRole::Upstream`**: Optional third-party WireGuard VPN interfaces (e.g. `proton0`). Zero or more instances may exist concurrently. Each Upstream interface connects NX9-WG to an external service provider through exactly one provider peer.
+
+### B. Optional Local Listen Port & Ephemeral Kernel Binding
+- `Interface.listen_port` is modeled as `Option<u16>`.
+- Standard third-party `.conf` imports (e.g. ProtonVPN) omit `[Interface] ListenPort`. NX9-WG preserves `listen_port = None` without defaulting to `51820`.
+- In `configure_device`, omitting the `WireguardAttribute::ListenPort` Netlink attribute signals the Linux kernel to assign an ephemeral dynamic UDP port automatically.
+- This prevents local UDP port contention and allows `wg0` (51820) and `proton0` (dynamic) to coexist without `-EADDRINUSE` errors.
+- Dynamic kernel ports produce 0 false drift actions in the reconciliation engine when desired `listen_port` is `None`.
+
+### C. Cryptokey Routing vs. Linux FIB Default Routes
+- An Upstream provider peer often specifies `AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0` in its `.conf`.
+- In WireGuard, `AllowedIPs` defines the device-level cryptokey packet routing filter; it does **not** install a Linux kernel route.
+- NX9-WG preserves `0.0.0.0/0, ::/0` on the `proton0` WireGuard device without modifying the server's Linux FIB default gateway (`192.168.1.1`).
+- The provider endpoint (`37.19.199.155:51820`) remains reachable via the host physical WAN interface.
+
+### D. NAT Masquerade Isolation
+- Outbound NAT masquerading compiled into `table inet nx9_wg` is strictly scoped to Overlay client subnets (`10.100.0.0/24`).
+- Upstream tunnel addresses (`10.2.0.2/32`) are not treated as client subnets and do not trigger unsolicited global masquerading.

+# NX9-WG Stress Test --- Remote LAN Multi-Path Integration
+
+**Project:** NX9-WG\
+**Test Type:** Integration / Stress Test\
+**Status:** PASS\
+**Date:** 2026-08-19\
+**Purpose:** Validate robust remote access to a protected LAN through
+NX9-WG across substantially different underlying network paths.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+## 1. Executive Summary
+
+This test validates that `nx9-wg` can provide authenticated, routed
+access to a remote `192.168.1.0/24` LAN while the WireGuard client uses
+different and independent Internet/access-network paths.
+
+The test deliberately exercised NX9-WG through:
+
+1.  Cellular 5G → mobile WAN AP → laptop.
+2.  Airtel Wi-Fi → Pixel Wi-Fi Station + Access Point concurrency →
+    laptop.
+3.  A separate Wi-Fi network → laptop.
+
+In all tested paths, the same NX9-WG peer successfully established the
+VPN and reached hosts and services on the protected LAN.
+
+The strongest validation was successful interactive SSH access to
+`192.168.1.200`, in addition to ICMP, HTTP, network filesystem access,
+and LAN host discovery.
+
+**Overall result: PASS.**
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+## 2. Test Objective
+
+Validate that NX9-WG:
+
+-   establishes a WireGuard tunnel independently of the client's
+    underlying access network;
+-   correctly routes traffic from a remote peer to the protected LAN;
+-   handles different upstream NAT/network topologies;
+-   provides access to multiple LAN hosts rather than only a single
+    endpoint;
+-   supports real application traffic over the tunnel;
+-   preserves connectivity when the client changes access-network
+    topology;
+-   does not require changes to the protected LAN or ISP router
+    configuration.
+
+This test is intended as an **integration and robustness validation**,
+not as a throughput benchmark.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------

+## 3. Network Topology
+
+### Protected LAN
+
+``` text
+192.168.1.0/24
+```
+
+Representative hosts:
+
+``` text
+192.168.1.1      Airtel AirFiber / Nokia AAP321NK
+192.168.1.200    Debian server / Thakares IoT Hub

+WireGuard interface: Office-Laptop
+WireGuard address:   10.100.0.6/32
+MTU:                 1280
+```
+
+The important architectural property is that the client-side underlay
+network can change while the WireGuard overlay identity and protected
+LAN remain unchanged.

+2.  Mobile phone provided WAN/AP connectivity.
+3.  Laptop connected to the mobile AP.
+4.  NX9-WG VPN was enabled.
+5.  Laptop received an Internet address on the mobile network.
+6.  Remote LAN routes became reachable through NX9-WG.

+### LAN discovery
+
+An initial ordinary `nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24` did not discover hosts
+while the LAN was only reachable through the routed WireGuard path.
+Individual routed hosts were nevertheless reachable.
+
+This was subsequently validated more comprehensively in Scenario C using
+`nmap` with the active routed path.
+

+
+# 5. Test Scenario B --- Wi-Fi STA + AP Concurrency
+
+This was the more interesting underlay test.
+
+The Pixel device supports simultaneous Wi-Fi client (STA) and Access
+Point operation.

+
+## Procedure
+
+1.  Pixel connected to Airtel Wi-Fi.
+2.  Pixel simultaneously enabled its Access Point.
+3.  Laptop connected to the Pixel AP.
+4.  Laptop enabled NX9-WG.
+5.  No cellular Internet was used.
+6.  Remote LAN access worked immediately.
+
+## Result
+
+**PASS**
+
+This demonstrates that NX9-WG remains functional when the client reaches
+the Internet through a Wi-Fi STA/AP-concurrent intermediate device.
+
+No cellular fallback was required.

+192.168.1.200
+```
+
+Result:
+
+``` text
+17 hosts up
+```
+
+This is significant because it validates routed access to the LAN as a
+network segment rather than connectivity to only one predefined host.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+# 8. Application-Level Validation
+
+## HTTP
+
+The NX9-WG client successfully accessed:
+
+``` text
+http://192.168.1.200:8008
+```
+
+The Thakares IoT Hub web application loaded successfully.
+
+## Network filesystem
+
+The Linux desktop successfully accessed the remote Debian server:
+
+``` text
+192.168.1.200
+/home/sunil
+```
+
+## SSH
+
+The strongest application-level validation was:
+
+``` bash
+ssh 192.168.1.200
+```
+
+which produced a normal interactive login:
+
+``` text
+Linux thakares 6.12.101+deb13-rt-amd64
+Debian GNU/Linux
+x86_64
+```
+
+The remote shell was successfully entered and exited normally.
+
+This confirms:
+
+-   TCP connectivity;
+-   routing;
+-   return-path routing;
+-   firewall/forwarding compatibility;
+-   SSH service accessibility;
+-   stable encrypted transport;
+-   real bidirectional application traffic.

+# 10. Key Finding
+
+The same NX9-WG peer:
+
+``` text
+10.100.0.6/32
+```
+
+successfully accessed:
+
+``` text
+192.168.1.0/24
+```
+
+while its underlying client network changed.
+
+Examples included:
+
+``` text
+10.137.106.0/24
+10.24.3.0/24
+```
+
+This demonstrates a clean separation between:
+
+-   **underlay:** whatever network currently provides Internet
+    connectivity;
+-   **overlay:** the authenticated NX9-WG tunnel;
+-   **protected network:** the routed `192.168.1.0/24` LAN.
+
+The protected LAN required no modification for these tests.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+# 11. Why This Is a Meaningful Stress Test
+
+This test does not attempt to measure maximum WireGuard throughput.
+
+Instead, it stresses the **network topology and routing assumptions** of
+NX9-WG.
+
+The tested paths introduce:
+
+-   different client networks;
+-   different NAT environments;
+-   mobile AP routing;
+-   Wi-Fi STA/AP concurrency;
+-   additional network hops;
+-   remote access to an entire private subnet;
+-   multiple simultaneous LAN destinations;
+-   multiple application protocols.
+
+The successful results indicate that NX9-WG is not dependent on a
+particular client access network.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+# 12. Airtel LAN Collision Use Case
+
+The test originated from a practical problem involving an Airtel
+AirFiber Nokia AAP321NK using:
+
+``` text
+192.168.1.1
+```
+
+which overlaps with the existing home LAN addressing.
+
+Instead of modifying the ISP-controlled router configuration, NX9-WG
+provided an independent routed management path:
+
+``` text
+External network
+      │
+      ▼
+   NX9-WG
+      │
+      ▼
+192.168.1.0/24
+      │
+      ├── 192.168.1.1
+      ├── 192.168.1.200
+      └── other LAN hosts
+```
+
+This demonstrates a practical operational benefit of the NX9-WG
+architecture: remote authenticated access to infrastructure can remain
+available without requiring ISP router reconfiguration.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+# 13. What This Test Does Not Establish
+
+This test should **not** be interpreted as a performance benchmark.
+
+The following remain outside the scope of this test:
+
+-   maximum throughput;
+-   sustained high-volume transfer;
+-   CPU utilisation;
+-   simultaneous high-volume traffic from many peers;
+-   large-scale concurrent peer testing;
+-   packet-loss recovery under severe loss;
+-   roaming during an active session;
+-   MTU/fragmentation testing under load;
+-   IPv6 routed-LAN testing;
+-   server restart/recovery testing;
+-   client sleep/resume testing;
+-   long-duration soak testing.
+
+These should be covered by separate tests if required.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+# 14. Recommended Future Stress Tests
+
+Future NX9-WG validation can extend this matrix with:
+
+### Performance

+
+-   TCP throughput;
+-   UDP throughput;
+-   bidirectional traffic;

+-   1-hour soak test;
+-   24-hour soak test;
+-   repeated tunnel reconnects;

+-   multiple LAN destinations;
+-   concurrent HTTP/SSH/file traffic.
+
+### Network edge cases

+-   packet loss;
+-   high latency;

+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+# 15. Final Assessment
+
+**NX9-WG Remote LAN Multi-Path Integration Test: PASS**
+
+The implementation successfully provided authenticated routed access
+from externally connected clients to the protected `192.168.1.0/24` LAN
+across multiple substantially different network paths.
+
+The successful SSH session to `192.168.1.200`, access to the IoT Hub,
+network filesystem access, and discovery of 17 LAN hosts provide strong
+practical evidence that the VPN is functioning as a complete remote-LAN
+connectivity solution rather than merely establishing a WireGuard
+handshake.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+**Test conclusion:**
+
+> NX9-WG successfully maintained functional remote access to the
+> protected LAN independently of the underlying client access network,
+> including cellular, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi STA/AP concurrent paths.
+
+**Status: PASS**

 ### A. Client Profile & MTU Resolution Modal
 When enrolling a new peer (`#peers`), the modal automatically queries `/api/v1/client-profiles/resolve` based on selected Device (Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, macOS) and Connection (Mobile Cellular 4G/5G, Wi-Fi, Wired Ethernet) to determine optimal MTU (1280 vs 1360 vs 1420) and persistent keepalive (25s).
@@ -52,7 +52,17 @@ When opening the export modal for a peer, the UI automatically:
    - **Interactive Vector QR Code**: Inline SVG rendering for scanning directly with the official WireGuard mobile app.
    - **Downloadable `.conf` File**: Standard WireGuard client configuration file formatted for instant download or clipboard copy.
 
-### C. One-Time API Token Delivery Modal
+### C. Third-Party Upstream Import Modal (`#interfaces`)
+The "+ Create Interface" modal provides a dedicated **Import Upstream VPN** tab:
+1. Accepts interface name (e.g. `proton0`) and raw `.conf` content from third-party VPN providers (e.g. ProtonVPN).
+2. Provides a **Preview Configuration** button triggering `/api/v1/interfaces/upstreams/preview` to dry-run validate the configuration and display parsed tunnel addresses, DNS, MTU, listen port (showing `Auto (Dynamic)` when omitted), and provider peer details before writing to SQLite.
+3. Secret redaction: Private keys and PSKs are never echoed back in preview responses or displayed in cleartext in the UI.
+4. On submission, atomically saves desired state, provisions the kernel interface, and triggers reconciliation.
+
+### D. Embedded Read-Only CLI Console (`#interfaces`)
+Provides an in-browser interactive terminal to execute read-only operational and status commands (e.g., `nx9-wg interface upstream list`, `nx9-wg diagnostics all`). Enforces a strict server-side command allowlist and output secret sanitizer.
+
+### E. One-Time API Token Delivery Modal
 Generates a new API token, calculates its SHA-256 digest for SQLite storage, and presents the raw token string once in an interactive modal with a copy button.

-## 2. SAFE Mode (`LIVE=0`) vs Real-Kernel Mode (`LIVE=1`)
-
-To guarantee safety when developing on unprivileged developer workstations:
-
-### SAFE Mode (`LIVE=0` — Default)
-- Uses real in-memory SQLite stores and dry-run Netlink message builders.
-- Validates CLI parsers, JSON/YAML/CSV output formatters, route equality rules, and read-only reconciliation planning.
-- Automatically skips live kernel mutation steps that require root or `CAP_NET_ADMIN`.
-
-### Real-Kernel Mode (`LIVE=1` — Dedicated Host Only)
-- Requires `root` or `CAP_NET_ADMIN` in a dedicated, disposable Linux VM.
-- Creates real kernel WireGuard interfaces (e.g. `nx9t...`), attaches IPv4/IPv6 addresses, installs routes in the kernel routing table, configures `table inet nx9_wg` in Netfilter, and validates live handshake telemetry.
-

-
-## 3. Automated Subprocess & Secret Audits
-
-Every verification run executes strict source-level security audits:
-
-1. **Subprocess Audit**: Confirms zero instances of `std::process::Command`, `tokio::process::Command`, `Command::new`, or shell scripts in production Rust crates.
-2. **Secret Redaction Audit**: Confirms that password hashes, private keys, preshared keys, and token hashes are never printed in human-readable status outputs or logs.
-3. **Environment Audit**: Confirms that all recognized environment variables strictly observe the `NX9_WG_*` namespace.
