Explanation of the use of username and password:
Validator will not use your username and password to create an actual VPN connection. The availability of the service is determined by checking whether the 'VERIFY OK' flag appears in the log information, which proves that your network environment can communicate with the server normally.

• Display the IP address and country of origin of IP address
• Display the server response time in the output result
• Improve the parsing logic of profile files
• Add an option to automatically delete unusable profile files in command line arguments
