like. that's it. that's the name. a whole quantum-safe security layer and it's just there, chilling, being iconic. no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

pqconnect [OPTIONS]

that's the whole summoning circle, bestie — just the command and optionally some OPTIONS. no positional args, no drama, we love a low-maintenance queen 🫶

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

every single one of these is real, so don't skip any, i will know 🙈

• --version — shows you the version. that's the whole job. tiny, humble, does it flawlessly ✨
• -p, --port INTEGER RANGE — the UDP listening port. valid range is [0<=x<=65535] — go outside those numbers and it's a no from her 💀
• -a, --addr TEXT — your local IPv4 address. yes, specifically IPv4, don't come at me with anything else 🌈
• -m, --mask INTEGER RANGE — the netmask for the private network. valid range is [8<=x<=24] — she has boundaries, and they are 8 through 24 🎀
• -i, --interface-name TEXT — the name of the PQConnect network interface. pick something cute, or don't, it's your interface 🦋
• -v, --verbose — turns on verbose logging. more words! more info! she's talking now 👑
• -vv, --very-verbose — turns on even more verbose logging. two v's, double the yapping, and honestly? we're obsessed 😭
• --show — shows the active PQConnect connections. peek at who's connected, bestie 👀
• -H, --host-ip TEXT — the IP address where the decrypted traffic should arrive. required if PQConnect is running on a VM, for example — so like, if you're in a VM situation, you need this one, no skipping 🚨
• --help — shows this message and exits. the classic "wait what do i do" button, and she always comes through 💖
