# Legal and Compliance Notes

TunnelX is published as free/open-source software by MaxFan.

## Project License

The project is marked as `GPL-3.0-or-later` to stay compatible with bundled GPL components, especially sing-box. If the release packaging changes and no GPL binary is bundled, the maintainer can revisit the license choice.

## Third-Party Components

Review `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md` before every public release. Native binaries and data files must keep their upstream license notices.

## Usage

TunnelX is a network routing, VPN, proxy, and packet interception tool. Users are responsible for complying with their local rules, workplace policies, network policies, and service terms.

## No Warranty

TunnelX is provided without warranty. It can change routes, DNS behavior, local proxy behavior, and packet handling, so users should test carefully before relying on it.

## No Maintenance Obligation

Publishing TunnelX as free and open-source software does not create any obligation for MaxFan or other maintainers to provide updates, fixes, support, new releases, compatibility work, or continued availability. Contributions and maintenance are voluntary unless a separate written agreement says otherwise.

## Platform Support

The current release package is for 64-bit Windows only. 32-bit Windows is not supported unless a future release explicitly says otherwise.
