# Research & Legal Disclaimer

**This project is provided strictly for educational, research, testing, and feasibility-study purposes.**

NoRoot VPN Panel is an experimental open-source project created to investigate the technical feasibility of running a VPN-related service in highly restricted hosting environments, particularly ordinary PHP-based shared hosting environments where users may not have root access, SSH access, or permission to bind arbitrary public ports.

This project **does not grant, imply, or guarantee authorization** to operate a VPN, proxy, tunneling service, relay, or any other network service on any hosting provider's infrastructure.

## Hosting Provider Disclaimer

The developer and contributors of this project:

* Do **not** represent, authorize, sponsor, or endorse the use of this software on any hosting provider.
* Accept **no responsibility** for account suspension, termination, bandwidth restrictions, CPU/RAM/process-limit violations, abuse reports, IP reputation issues, service interruption, data loss, financial loss, or any other consequence resulting from the use or misuse of this software.
* Are **not responsible** for violations of a hosting provider's Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, Network Usage Policy, security policies, resource limitations, or other contractual requirements.
* Do **not** guarantee that the software will function on a particular shared-hosting environment.
* Do **not** guarantee compatibility with cPanel, CloudLinux, LiteSpeed, Apache, Nginx, PHP configurations, security policies, process limits, firewall rules, or other hosting restrictions.

The person installing or operating this software is solely responsible for verifying that their hosting provider explicitly permits the intended use and for obtaining any required authorization before deployment.

**If a hosting provider prohibits VPNs, proxies, tunnels, persistent background processes, executable binaries, or similar workloads, this software must not be deployed on that infrastructure.**

## Government, Regulatory, and Legal Disclaimer

The developer and contributors do **not** encourage, facilitate, or endorse unlawful use of this software.

NoRoot VPN Panel may be subject to different laws, regulations, restrictions, licensing requirements, censorship rules, telecommunications regulations, and network-use policies depending on the jurisdiction in which it is used.

The developer and contributors accept **no responsibility for violations of local, national, international, governmental, regulatory, telecommunications, cybersecurity, or network-access laws and regulations** resulting from the use, deployment, distribution, or modification of this software.

The responsibility for determining whether the software is legal and permitted in a particular jurisdiction rests entirely with the person using it.

Nothing in this repository should be interpreted as:

* legal advice;
* authorization to circumvent governmental restrictions;
* authorization to bypass network or access controls;
* authorization to violate telecommunications regulations;
* authorization to violate sanctions or other applicable restrictions;
* or a guarantee that any specific deployment is lawful.

Users are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws, regulations, court orders, licensing requirements, and lawful restrictions in their jurisdiction.

## Intended Research Scope

The primary purpose of this project is to **experimentally examine whether technically constrained shared-hosting environments can support a functional VPN-related architecture using PHP and the resources normally available on such hosting plans**.

The project is therefore intended as a technical research and feasibility study involving constraints such as:

* absence of root privileges;
* absence of SSH access;
* restricted process/thread limits;
* limited CPU and memory resources;
* PHP execution restrictions;
* shared web-server environments;
* inability to bind arbitrary public ports;
* and other limitations commonly found on shared hosting.

Any successful deployment should be understood as an **experimental technical result**, not as evidence that such usage is permitted by the hosting provider or lawful in a particular jurisdiction.

## No Warranty

This software is provided **"AS IS"**, without warranty of any kind, express or implied.

The developer and contributors make no guarantees regarding reliability, availability, performance, security, compatibility, scalability, anonymity, privacy, resistance to blocking, uninterrupted operation, or fitness for a particular purpose.

Running this software may consume significant hosting resources and may trigger automated or manual security, abuse, resource-management, or account-monitoring systems.

## User Responsibility

By installing, configuring, modifying, or operating this software, the user acknowledges that they are solely responsible for:

1. obtaining permission from the relevant hosting provider;
2. complying with the provider's Terms of Service and resource limits;
3. complying with all applicable laws and regulations;
4. ensuring that their deployment does not interfere with or adversely affect other users or shared infrastructure;
5. securing their installation and credentials;
6. determining whether the selected environment is technically and legally suitable;
7. and accepting all risks associated with deployment and operation.

**The developer is not liable for the user's deployment, traffic, configuration, infrastructure, hosting account, network activity, or any resulting legal, financial, operational, or administrative consequences.**

## Important Notice

This repository should be regarded as a **research and experimentation project**, not a production hosting solution, commercial VPN service, or method of obtaining permission to run prohibited services on third-party infrastructure.

**Use only on systems and hosting environments where you have explicit authorization to run the software and where its use is permitted by the applicable policies and laws.**
