Pull request overview
This PR introduces edge connectors to vprox, enabling an outbound-only node inside a restricted/private network to establish a WireGuard tunnel back to the vprox server and advertise reachable CIDR routes so connect clients can access private resources through the server.
Changes:
- Adds a new
vprox edgeCLI command and corresponding edge client implementation (WireGuard + forwarding/NAT). - Extends the server HTTPS control plane with
/edge-connectand/edge-disconnectendpoints and route advertisement conflict handling. - Updates documentation to explain the edge connector architecture, setup steps, and requirements.

vprox edgedeploys an outbound-only connector inside a restricted network that establishes a WireGuard tunnel back to thevproxserver. It advertises local CIDR routes (via--routes) so thatconnectclients can reach private resources (databases, internal APIs, etc.) through the server — without opening any inbound ports in the restricted network.
