Description (Last modified by andrei)

I'm a little mixed on the new interface. It has a number of enhancements, but it's also a bit more confusing. There are a lot of changes in the interface, and I'm sure it's all moving in a great direction. You might want to consider some quick words on your site about the diff in config settings

For example, I have an SSH Server, that has an email account with imap (that was added via quick config) and yet I can still add services outside of that:

SSH Server
+ mail.lightbulb.net
++ ncianca@lightbulb.com
+++ imap
++ smtp
++ imaps
++ pop3s
++ imap
++ pop3

I assume that an SSH Server can support the service directly, i.e. it doesn't need to be bound to a specific email account, so what is the purpose of the email account? The email account that appears was entered via QuickConfig and looking at the panel for the email account, I see that it's the hostname, with an address of 127.13.0.2, which is indeed an address added the ethernet interface. It just seems a little more confusing then the way it used to be configured.

2) How does one override the DNS portion? I have some local virtual domains running on my machine which are defined by /etc/hosts (e.g. I use a .dev domain for development) and with prior versions of AlmostVPN I had to define these hosts along with the loopback address in the panel to override the AlmostVPN DNS routing. Do I just add these under the .local machine name?

3) Is it still possible to create a tunnel that uses a port range? It was possible in earlier versions to create a tunnel that would have a start / end range of ports. I'm not sure this can still be done.

what ncianca@lightbulb.com stands for?

Ok, I can see what cause the problem - "hint text" for second text field in e-mail group is missing. I guess you interpret it as place to enter you mail account? In fact this is a place to enter outgoing mail server name .

RE: DNS. AlmostVPN does not have manage "Known Servers" dialog yet, but you should be able to enter IP address for your host manually and AlmostVPN should use it in favor of any other method of IP resolution.

RE: Tunnels with port range? AlmostVPN never did have such feature. It will not be hard to implement, but why you will want to do it? Can you describe situation when you will want to use it?
