It provides our entire playbook which we use to build, configure, clone, export, backup, and wipe out our investigative environments. All expired and outdated methods and applications were replaced with new functioning techniques, and brand-new programs were introduced throughout.

These are required if you are using a new cert issued by Proton VPN, but the old configuration files still work (for now) if you did not download a new cert. If you created your own configuration following the tutorials in the guide, we recommend starting fresh with a new build for longevity. If you used (or prefer) the pre-configured scripts, we recommend importing the new option for your device and configuring your desired server. Always make a export/backup first!
