 # Amnezia Web Panel
 
-A modern, high-performance web interface for managing **AmneziaWG**, **Classic WireGuard**, **Xray (XTLS-Reality)**, **Hysteria 2**, **NaiveProxy**, **Telemt (Telegram MTProxy)**, **Cloudflare WARP**, **AmneziaDNS**, **AdGuard Home**, **SOCKS5**, and **NGINX + Let's Encrypt** services on remote Ubuntu servers — from a single dashboard.

ACME TLS on the domain, per-client basic auth, `naive+https://` share links. Requires free TCP **80** and **443**. **Use Karing** as the client — do **not** use v2rayN; other clients are untested.
     *   **Telemt (Telegram MTProxy)**: High-performance Telegram MTProxy with TLS emulation and comprehensive management (quotas, IP limits, real-time session tracking). Robust install path that auto-configures Docker's official apt/yum repository when needed.
     *   **Cloudflare WARP**: Add and manage WARP-powered connectivity from the panel for routing and network flexibility.
+    *   **NordVPN**: Connect/disconnect outbound NordVPN from Settings via the official CLI (optional country/city).

Two install modes: **Replace AmneziaDNS** (takes its IP, all VPN clients use AdGuard immediately) or **Side-by-side** (parallel deployment on `172.29.172.253`, web UI accessible only over the VPN by default).
