+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Teleport uses YAML configuration files. You need separate configurations for server and client instances.
+
+### Generate Example Configuration
+
+Generate example configuration files:
+
+```bash
+# Generate server configuration (filename contains "server")
+./teleport --generate-config --config server.yaml
+
+# Generate client configuration  
+./teleport --generate-config --config client.yaml
+
+# Generate default configuration (client)
+./teleport --generate-config
+```
+
+### Server Configuration (`server.yaml`)
+
+```yaml
+instance_id: teleport-server-01
+listen_address: :8080
+remote_address: ""

+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. **Generate a secure encryption key:**
+   ```bash
+   ./teleport --generate-key
+   ```
+
+2. **Generate configuration files:**
+   ```bash
+   ./teleport --generate-config --config server.yaml
+   ./teleport --generate-config --config client.yaml
+   ```
+
+3. **Edit the configs** and replace the encryption key with the one you generated
+
+4. **Start the server:**
+   ```bash
+   ./teleport --config server.yaml
+   ```
+
+5. **Start the client:**
+   ```bash
+   ./teleport --config client.yaml
+   ```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Start Server
+
+```bash
+./teleport --config server.yaml
+```
+
+### Start Client
+
+```bash
+./teleport --config client.yaml
+```
+
+### Show Version
+
+```bash
+./teleport --version
+# or
+./teleport -v
+```
+
+### Generate Random Encryption Key
+
+```bash
+./teleport --generate-key
+# or
+./teleport -k
+```
+
+This generates a cryptographically secure 256-bit encryption key that you can use in your configuration files.
+
+### Logging Options
+
+```bash
+# Set log level (debug, info, warn, error)
+./teleport --config config.yaml --log-level debug
+
+# Set log format (text, json)
+./teleport --config config.yaml --log-format json
+
+# Set log file
+./teleport --config config.yaml --log-file /var/log/teleport.log
+```
+
+### Port Format
+
+Teleport uses URL-style port mapping format for cleaner configuration:
+
+```yaml
+ports:
+  - "tcp://80:8080"    # Listen on port 8080, forward to teleport server's port 80
+  - "udp://53:5353"    # Listen on port 5353, forward to teleport server's port 53
+  - "tcp://22:2222"    # Listen on port 2222, forward to teleport server's port 22
+```
+
+**Format**: 
+- **Server**: `"protocol://target:targetport"` - listen on targetport, forward to target:targetport
+- **Client**: `"protocol://targetport:localport"` - listen on localport, forward to teleport server's targetport
+
+**Examples:**
+```yaml
+# Server configurations
+ports:
+  - "tcp://localhost:80"        # Listen on port 80, forward to localhost:80
+  - "tcp://server-a:22"         # Listen on port 22, forward to server-a:22
+  - "udp://dns-server:53"       # Listen on port 53, forward to dns-server:53
+
+# Client configurations  
+ports:
+  - "tcp://80:8080"             # Listen on port 8080, forward to teleport server's port 80
+  - "tcp://22:2222"             # Listen on port 2222, forward to teleport server's port 22
+  - "udp://53:5353"             # Listen on port 5353, forward to teleport server's port 53
+```
+
+**Example: Remote SSH Access**
+To access SSH on Server A through teleport server on Server B:
+
+**Server B configuration:**
+```yaml
+instance_id: teleport-server-b
+listen_address: :8080
+remote_address: ""
+ports:
+  - "tcp://server-a:22"  # Listen on port 22, forward to server-a:22
+encryption_key: your-shared-key
+```
+
+**Client C configuration:**
+```yaml
+instance_id: teleport-client-c
+listen_address: ""
+remote_address: server-b:8080
+ports:
+  - "tcp://22:2222"  # Listen on local port 2222, forward to teleport server's port 22
+encryption_key: your-shared-key
+```
+
+Then connect from Client C: `ssh user@localhost -p 2222`
+
+### Configuration-Based Mode Detection
+
+The mode (server or client) is automatically determined from the configuration:
+
+- **Server Mode**: When `listen_address` is set and `remote_address` is empty
+- **Client Mode**: When `remote_address` is set and `listen_address` is empty
+
+**Important**: The configuration must be clearly either a server or client - you cannot have both `listen_address` and `remote_address` set, and you must have at least one of them set.
+
+### Configuration Validation
+
+The program validates your configuration and will show clear error messages if:
+
+- **Both addresses set**: You have both `listen_address` and `remote_address` configured
+- **Neither address set**: You have neither `listen_address` nor `remote_address` configured
+
+**Valid Server Configuration:**
+```yaml
+listen_address: :8080
+remote_address: ""
+ports:
+  - "tcp://localhost:22"
+```
+
+**Valid Client Configuration:**
+```yaml
+listen_address: ""
+remote_address: server:8080
+ports:
+  - "tcp://22:2222"
+```
+
+## Security
+
+- All traffic is encrypted using AES-GCM encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation
+- The encryption key is derived from the provided key using PBKDF2 with 100,000 iterations
+- Each connection uses a unique nonce for encryption
+- Connection authentication is implicit through successful decryption
+- UDP packets include replay protection with timestamp validation
+- Encryption keys are validated for entropy and strength
+- Logging includes automatic sanitization of sensitive data
+- Rate limiting prevents abuse and DoS attacks
+
+## Example Use Cases
+
+1. **SSH Tunneling**: Forward SSH connections through a secure tunnel
+2. **Database Access**: Securely access remote databases
+3. **Web Services**: Forward HTTP/HTTPS traffic
+4. **DNS Services**: Forward DNS queries (UDP port 53)
+5. **NTP Services**: Forward time synchronization (UDP port 123)
+6. **SNMP Monitoring**: Forward SNMP queries (UDP port 161)
+7. **Custom Services**: Forward any TCP or UDP-based service
+8. **Local DNS Resolution**: Serve custom DNS records for local development
+9. **DNS Override**: Override specific domains with custom IP addresses
+10. **Service Discovery**: Use SRV records for service discovery and load balancing
+
+## Example Setup
+
+1. **Server Side** (where services are running):
+   - Generate: `./teleport -generate-config -config teleport-server.yaml`
+   - Edit the configuration file with the services you want to expose
+   - Run: `./teleport -config teleport-server.yaml`
+
+2. **Client Side** (where you want to access services):
+   - Generate: `./teleport -generate-config -config teleport-client.yaml`
+   - Edit the configuration file with local ports and remote server address
+   - Run: `./teleport -config teleport-client.yaml`
+   - Connect to `localhost:local_port` to access the remote service
+
+## Multi-Client Support
+
+Multiple clients can connect to the same server using packet tagging:
+
+1. **Start Server**: `./teleport -config teleport-server.yaml`
+2. **Start Client 1**: `./teleport -config teleport-client.yaml`
+3. **Start Client 2**: `./teleport -config teleport-client2.yaml`
+
+Both clients can use the same local ports (e.g., 5353 for DNS) because:
+- Each client has a unique `instance_id` in their config
+- UDP packets are tagged with the client ID
+- Server routes responses back to the correct client
+- No port conflicts between multiple clients
+
+## DNS Server Features
+
+The built-in DNS server provides:
+
+### Custom DNS Records
+- **A Records**: Map domain names to IPv4 addresses
+- **AAAA Records**: Map domain names to IPv6 addresses  
+- **CNAME Records**: Create domain aliases
+- **MX Records**: Mail server configuration
+- **TXT Records**: Text-based records
+- **SRV Records**: Service discovery records
+- **NS Records**: Name server records
+
+### Example DNS Configuration
+```yaml
+dns_server:
+  enabled: true
+  listen_port: 5353
+  backup_server: 8.8.8.8:53
+  custom_records:
+    - name: api.local
+      type: A
+      value: 192.168.1.100
+      ttl: 300
+    - name: www.local
+      type: CNAME
+      value: api.local
+      ttl: 300
+    - name: _http._tcp.api.local
+      type: SRV
+      value: api.local
+      ttl: 300
+      priority: 10
+      weight: 5
+      port: 8080
+    - name: _mysql._tcp.db.local
+      type: SRV
+      value: db.local
+      ttl: 300
+      priority: 10
+      weight: 1
+      port: 3306
+```
+
+### DNS Usage
+```bash
+# Test custom DNS records
+nslookup api.local localhost -port=5353
+nslookup www.local localhost -port=5353
+
+# Test SRV records for service discovery
+nslookup -type=SRV _http._tcp.api.local localhost -port=5353
+nslookup -type=SRV _mysql._tcp.db.local localhost -port=5353
+
+# Fallback to backup server for unknown domains
+nslookup google.com localhost -port=5353
+```
+
+## Binary Names
+
+The application provides different binaries for different use cases:
+
+- **`teleport`**: Main binary (Windows: no console window, Linux: standard)
+- **`teleport-console`**: Console version (Windows: shows console window)
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+Teleport includes configurable rate limiting to prevent abuse:
+
+```yaml
+rate_limit:
+  enabled: true
+  requests_per_second: 100  # Maximum requests per second
+  burst_size: 200          # Maximum burst size
+  window_size: 1s          # Time window for rate limiting
+```
+
+
+### Advanced Logging
+
+Teleport includes sophisticated logging with:
+- Configurable log levels (debug, info, warn, error)
+- Multiple output formats (text, JSON)
+- File and console output support
+- Automatic sanitization of sensitive data (keys, passwords, tokens)
+- Secure file permissions (owner read/write only)
+
+### Connection Management
+
+- **Connection Pooling**: Efficient connection reuse for better performance
+- **Connection Limits**: Configurable maximum concurrent connections
+- **Health Checks**: Automatic detection and cleanup of dead connections
+- **Graceful Shutdown**: Proper cleanup of resources on exit
+
+## Notes
+
+- The encryption key must be identical on both server and client
+- Use `./teleport --generate-key` to create a secure random encryption key
+- The server listens on the specified `listen_address` for incoming connections
+- The client connects to the remote server and forwards local connections
+- All port forwarding is bidirectional
+- Port format uses URL-style conventions: `"protocol://target:port"`
+- Configuration files use YAML format for better readability
+- The application automatically detects server vs client mode based on configuration
+- UDP packets include replay protection and timestamp validation
+- All sensitive data in logs is automatically sanitized
+- Rate limiting helps prevent abuse and DoS attacks
+- Connection pooling improves performance for high-traffic scenarios
