- Use the built-in healthcheck vpn restart mechanism instead
- Restarting with `ping-restart` or `ping-exit` would only restart with the same `remote` connection

- Change: `up` and `down` options are not filtered out
- Change: `OPENVPN_INTERFACE` overrides the network interface defined in the configuration file
- Change: `PORT` overrides any port found in the configuration file
- Feat: config file is read when building the OpenVPN configuration, so it's effectively reloaded on VPN restarts
- Feat: extract values from custom file at start to log out valid settings
- Maint: `internal/openvpn/extract` package instead of `internal/openvpn/custom` package
- Maint: All providers' `BuildConf` method return an error
- Maint: rename `CustomConfig` to `ConfFile` in Settings structures
- Add VPN field to ServerSelection struct
- Set VPN type to server selection at start using VPN_TYPE
- Change OpenVPNConnection to Connection with Type field
- Rename Provider GetOpenVPNConnection to GetConnection
- Rename GetTargetIPOpenVPNConnection to GetTargetIPConnection
- Rename PickRandomOpenVPNConnection to PickRandomConnection
- Add 'OpenVPN' prefix to OpenVPN specific methods on connection
- Paves the way for Wireguard
- VPN struct contains Type, Openvpn and Provider configurations
- OpenVPN specific options (e.g. client key) moved from Provider to Openvpn configuration struct
- Move Provider configuration from OpenVPN configuration to VPN
- HTTP control server returns only openvpn settings (not provider settings)
