3. CLI Mode Improvements

For those running headless (no GUI), the --batch-verify flag now supports multi-threading. A full scan of 10,000 proxy entries takes roughly 40% less time compared to v.1.2.9.

If you decide to test it:

• Run it inside a Windows 7 virtual machine with no host-network bridging.
• Set firewall rules to allow only specific internal IPs (e.g., your workstation).
• Never forward port 1080 on your router to this machine.
• Use WireGuard or OpenVPN as a secure transport layer above the SOCKS proxy.

sudo ufw allow from YOUR_IP to any port 80
sudo ufw deny 80
