 When Newt receives WireGuard control messages, it will use the information encoded to create a local low level TCP and UDP proxies attached to the virtual tunnel in order to relay traffic to programmed targets.
 
-## CLI Args
-
-### Core Configuration
-
--   `id`: Newt ID generated by Pangolin to identify the client.
--   `secret`: A unique secret (not shared and kept private) used to authenticate the client ID with the websocket in order to receive commands.
--   `endpoint`: The endpoint where both Gerbil and Pangolin reside in order to connect to the websocket.
--   `blueprint-file` (optional): Path to blueprint file to define Pangolin resources and configurations.
--   `no-cloud` (optional): Don't fail over to the cloud when using managed nodes in Pangolin Cloud. Default: false
--   `log-level` (optional): The log level to use (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL). Default: INFO
-
-### Docker Integration
-
--   `docker-socket` (optional): Set the Docker socket to use the container discovery integration
--   `docker-enforce-network-validation` (optional): Validate the container target is on the same network as the newt process. Default: false
-
-### Client Connections
-
--   `disable-clients` (optional): Disable clients on the WireGuard interface. Default: false (clients enabled)
--   `native` (optional): Use native WireGuard interface (requires WireGuard kernel module and Linux, must run as root). Default: false (uses userspace netstack)
--   `interface` (optional): Name of the WireGuard interface. Default: newt
-
-### Metrics & Observability
-
--   `metrics` (optional): Enable Prometheus /metrics exporter. Default: true
--   `otlp` (optional): Enable OTLP exporters (metrics/traces) to OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT. Default: false
--   `metrics-admin-addr` (optional): Admin/metrics bind address. Default: 127.0.0.1:2112
--   `metrics-async-bytes` (optional): Enable async bytes counting (background flush; lower hot path overhead). Default: false 
--   `region` (optional): Optional region resource attribute for telemetry and metrics.
-
-### Network Configuration
-
--   `mtu` (optional): MTU for the internal WG interface. Default: 1280
--   `dns` (optional): DNS server to use to resolve the endpoint. Default: 9.9.9.9
--   `ping-interval` (optional): Interval for pinging the server. Default: 3s
--   `ping-timeout` (optional): Timeout for each ping. Default: 5s
-
-### Security & TLS
-
--   `enforce-hc-cert` (optional): Enforce certificate validation for health checks. Default: false (accepts any cert)
--   `tls-client-cert-file` (optional): Path to client certificate file (PEM/DER format) for mTLS. See [mTLS](#mtls)
--   `tls-client-key` (optional): Path to client private key file (PEM/DER format) for mTLS
--   `tls-client-ca` (optional): Path to CA certificate file for validating remote certificates (can be specified multiple times)
--   `tls-client-cert` (optional): Path to client certificate (PKCS12 format) - DEPRECATED: use `--tls-client-cert-file` and `--tls-client-key` instead
--   `prefer-endpoint` (optional): Prefer this endpoint for the connection (if set, will override the endpoint from the server)
-
-### Monitoring & Health
-
--   `health-file` (optional): Check if connection to WG server (pangolin) is ok. creates a file if ok, removes it if not ok. Can be used with docker healtcheck to restart newt
--   `updown` (optional): A script to be called when targets are added or removed.
-
-## Environment Variables

-This file is also written to when newt first starts up. So you do not need to run every time with --id and secret if you have run it once! 
-
-Default locations: 
-
-- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/newt-client/config.json`
-- **Windows**: `%PROGRAMDATA%\newt\newt-client\config.json`
-- **Linux/Others**: `~/.config/newt-client/config.json`
-
-## Examples
-
-**Note**: When both environment variables and CLI arguments are provided, CLI arguments take precedence.
-
--   Example:
-
-```bash
-newt \
---id 31frd0uzbjvp721 \
---secret h51mmlknrvrwv8s4r1i210azhumt6isgbpyavxodibx1k2d6 \
---endpoint https://example.com
-```
-
-You can also run it with Docker compose. For example, a service in your `docker-compose.yml` might look like this using environment vars (recommended):
-
-```yaml
-services:
-    newt:
-        image: fosrl/newt
-        container_name: newt
-        restart: unless-stopped
-        environment:
-            - PANGOLIN_ENDPOINT=https://example.com
-            - NEWT_ID=2ix2t8xk22ubpfy
-            - NEWT_SECRET=nnisrfsdfc7prqsp9ewo1dvtvci50j5uiqotez00dgap0ii2
-            - HEALTH_FILE=/tmp/healthy
-```
-
-You can also pass the CLI args to the container:
-
-```yaml
-services:
-    newt:
-        image: fosrl/newt
-        container_name: newt
-        restart: unless-stopped
-        command:
-            - --id 31frd0uzbjvp721
-            - --secret h51mmlknrvrwv8s4r1i210azhumt6isgbpyavxodibx1k2d6
-            - --endpoint https://example.com
-            - --health-file /tmp/healthy
-```
-
-## Client Connections
-
-By default, Newt can accept incoming client connections from other devices, enabling peer-to-peer connectivity through the Newt instance. This behavior can be disabled with the `--disable-clients` flag (or `DISABLE_CLIENTS=true` environment variable).
-
-### How It Works
-
-In client acceptance mode, Newt:
-
--   **Creates a WireGuard service** that can accept incoming connections from other WireGuard clients
--   **Starts a connection testing server** (WGTester) that responds to connectivity checks from remote clients
--   **Manages peer configurations** dynamically based on Pangolin's instructions
--   **Enables bidirectional communication** between the Newt instance and connected clients
-
-### Use Cases
-
--   **Site-to-site connectivity**: Connect multiple locations through a central Newt instance
--   **Client access to private networks**: Allow remote clients to access resources behind the Newt instance
--   **Development environments**: Provide developers secure access to internal services
-
-### Client Tunneling Modes
-
-Newt supports two WireGuard tunneling modes:
-
-#### Userspace Mode (Default)
-
-By default, Newt uses a fully userspace WireGuard implementation using [netstack](https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go/blob/master/tun/netstack/examples/http_server.go). This mode:
-
--   **Does not require root privileges**
--   **Works on all supported platforms** (Linux, Windows, macOS)
--   **Does not require WireGuard kernel module** to be installed
--   **Runs entirely in userspace** - no system network interface is created
--   **Is containerization-friendly** - works seamlessly in Docker containers
-
-This is the recommended mode for most deployments, especially containerized environments.
-
-In this mode, TCP and UDP is proxied out of newt from the remote client using TCP/UDP resources in Pangolin.
-
-#### Native Mode (Linux only)
-
-When using the `--native` flag or setting `USE_NATIVE_INTERFACE=true`, Newt uses the native WireGuard kernel module. This mode:
-
--   **Requires root privileges** to create and manage network interfaces
--   **Only works on Linux** with the WireGuard kernel module installed
--   **Creates a real network interface** (e.g., `newt0`) on the system
--   **May offer better performance** for high-throughput scenarios
--   **Requires proper network permissions** and may conflict with existing network configurations
-
-In this mode it functions like a traditional VPN interface - all data arrives on the interface and you must get it to the destination (or access things locally).
-
-#### Native Mode Requirements
-
-To use native mode:
-
-1. Run on a Linux system
-2. Install the WireGuard kernel module
-3. Run Newt as root (`sudo`)
-4. Ensure the system allows creation of network interfaces
-
-Docker Compose example (with clients enabled by default):
-
-```yaml
-services:
-    newt:
-        image: fosrl/newt
-        container_name: newt
-        restart: unless-stopped
-        environment:
-            - PANGOLIN_ENDPOINT=https://example.com
-            - NEWT_ID=2ix2t8xk22ubpfy
-            - NEWT_SECRET=nnisrfsdfc7prqsp9ewo1dvtvci50j5uiqotez00dgap0ii2
-```
-
-### Technical Details
-
-When client acceptance is enabled:
-
--   **WGTester Server**: Runs on `port + 1` (e.g., if WireGuard uses port 51820, WGTester uses 51821)
--   **Connection Testing**: Responds to UDP packets with magic header `0xDEADBEEF` for connectivity verification
--   **Dynamic Configuration**: Peer configurations are managed remotely through Pangolin
--   **Proxy Integration**: Can work with both userspace (netstack) and native WireGuard modes
-
-**Note**: Client acceptance mode requires coordination with Pangolin for peer management and configuration distribution.
-
-### Docker Socket Integration
-
-Newt can integrate with the Docker socket to provide remote inspection of Docker containers. This allows Pangolin to query and retrieve detailed information about containers running on the Newt client, including metadata, network configuration, port mappings, and more.
-
-**Configuration:**
-
-You can specify the Docker socket path using the `--docker-socket` CLI argument or by setting the `DOCKER_SOCKET` environment variable. If the Docker socket is not available or accessible, Newt will gracefully disable Docker integration and continue normal operation.
-
-Supported values include:
-
--   Local UNIX socket (default):
-    >You must mount the socket file into the container using a volume, so Newt can access it.
-
-    `unix:///var/run/docker.sock`
-
--   TCP socket (e.g., via Docker Socket Proxy):
-
-    `tcp://localhost:2375`
-
--   HTTP/HTTPS endpoints (e.g., remote Docker APIs):
-
-    `http://your-host:2375`
-
--   SSH connections (experimental, requires SSH setup):
-
-    `ssh://user@host`
-
-
-```yaml
-services:
-    newt:
-        image: fosrl/newt
-        container_name: newt
-        restart: unless-stopped
-        volumes:
-            - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
-        environment:
-            - PANGOLIN_ENDPOINT=https://example.com
-            - NEWT_ID=2ix2t8xk22ubpfy
-            - NEWT_SECRET=nnisrfsdfc7prqsp9ewo1dvtvci50j5uiqotez00dgap0ii2
-            - DOCKER_SOCKET=unix:///var/run/docker.sock
-```
->If you previously used just a path like `/var/run/docker.sock`, it still works — Newt assumes it is a UNIX socket by default.
-
-#### Hostnames vs IPs
-
-When the Docker Socket Integration is used, depending on the network which Newt is run with, either the hostname (generally considered the container name) or the IP address of the container will be sent to Pangolin. Here are some of the scenarios where IPs or hostname of the container will be utilised:
-
--   **Running in Network Mode 'host'**: IP addresses will be used
--   **Running in Network Mode 'bridge'**: IP addresses will be used
--   **Running in docker-compose without a network specification**: Docker compose creates a network for the compose by default, hostnames will be used
--   **Running on docker-compose with defined network**: Hostnames will be used
-
-### Docker Enforce Network Validation
-
-When run as a Docker container, Newt can validate that the target being provided is on the same network as the Newt container and only return containers directly accessible by Newt. Validation will be carried out against either the hostname/IP Address and the Port number to ensure the running container is exposing the ports to Newt.
-
-It is important to note that if the Newt container is run with a network mode of `host` that this feature will not work. Running in `host` mode causes the container to share its resources with the host machine, therefore making it so the specific host container information for Newt cannot be retrieved to be able to carry out network validation.
-
-**Configuration:**
-
-Validation is `false` by default. It can be enabled via setting the `--docker-enforce-network-validation` CLI argument or by setting the `DOCKER_ENFORCE_NETWORK_VALIDATION` environment variable.
-
-If validation is enforced and the Docker socket is available, Newt will **not** add the target as it cannot be verified. A warning will be presented in the Newt logs.
-
-### Updown
-
-You can pass in a updown script for Newt to call when it is adding or removing a target:
-
-`--updown "python3 test.py"`
-
-It will get called with args when a target is added:
-`python3 test.py add tcp localhost:8556`
-`python3 test.py remove tcp localhost:8556`
-
-Returning a string from the script in the format of a target (`ip:dst` so `10.0.0.1:8080`) it will override the target and use this value instead to proxy.
-
-You can look at updown.py as a reference script to get started!
-
-### mTLS
-
-Newt supports mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication if the server is configured to request a client certificate. You can use either a PKCS12 (.p12/.pfx) file or split PEM files for the client cert, private key, and CA.
-
-#### Option 1: PKCS12 (Legacy)
-
-> This is the original method and still supported.
-
-* File must contain:
-
-  * Client private key
-  * Public certificate
-  * CA certificate
-* Encrypted `.p12` files are **not supported**
-
-Example:
-
-```bash
-newt \
---id 31frd0uzbjvp721 \
---secret h51mmlknrvrwv8s4r1i210azhumt6isgbpyavxodibx1k2d6 \
---endpoint https://example.com \
---tls-client-cert ./client.p12
-```
-
-#### Option 2: Split PEM Files (Preferred)
-
-You can now provide separate files for:
-
-* `--tls-client-cert-file`: client certificate (`.crt` or `.pem`)
-* `--tls-client-key`: client private key (`.key` or `.pem`)
-* `--tls-client-ca`: CA cert to verify the server (can be specified multiple times)
-
-Example:
-
-```bash
-newt \
---id 31frd0uzbjvp721 \
---secret h51mmlknrvrwv8s4r1i210azhumt6isgbpyavxodibx1k2d6 \
---endpoint https://example.com \
---tls-client-cert-file ./client.crt \
---tls-client-key ./client.key \
---tls-client-ca ./ca.crt
-```
-
-
-```yaml
-services:
-    newt:
-        image: fosrl/newt
-        container_name: newt
-        restart: unless-stopped
-        environment:
-            - PANGOLIN_ENDPOINT=https://example.com
-            - NEWT_ID=2ix2t8xk22ubpfy
-            - NEWT_SECRET=nnisrfsdfc7prqsp9ewo1dvtvci50j5uiqotez00dgap0ii2
-            - TLS_CLIENT_CERT=./client.p12
-```
-
