Commit Message

Antonio Quartulli Oct. 2, 2024, 9:02 a.m. UTC
An ovpn_peer object holds the whole status of a remote peer
(regardless whether it is a server or a client).

This includes status for crypto, tx/rx buffers, napi, etc.

Only support for one peer is introduced (P2P mode).
Multi peer support is introduced with a later patch.

Along with the ovpn_peer, also the ovpn_bind object is introcued
as the two are strictly related.
An ovpn_bind object wraps a sockaddr representing the local
coordinates being used to talk to a specific peer.
