Add VPN compatibility documentation to resolve connectivity issues

[Copilot]

Problem

Users reported that MTProxy doesn't work when their VPN is active (issue #X), while other publicly shared proxies work fine with VPN enabled. This suggested a configuration issue rather than a fundamental incompatibility.

Root Cause

The issue occurs when users incorrectly use the undocumented --address command-line option. This option binds outbound connections (from the proxy to Telegram servers) to a specific IP address, which prevents the proxy from routing traffic through VPN tunnels. When a VPN is active, the system's routing table changes, but binding to a specific address bypasses this routing.

Solution

MTProxy actually works with VPN by default without any special configuration because:

• It listens on all network interfaces by default (0.0.0.0 for IPv4, :: for IPv6)
• Outbound connections automatically follow the system's default routing table, including VPN tunnels

The fix is purely documentation—clarifying the default VPN-friendly behavior and explaining when/when not to use the --address option.

Changes

Added a new "VPN Compatibility" section to the README that includes:

1. Default Behavior (VPN-friendly): Explains that no special configuration is needed for VPN compatibility

2. The --address Option: Documents this previously undocumented option with clear guidance:

   • ✅ When to use: Multi-homed servers, NAT scenarios, specific routing requirements
   • ❌ When NOT to use: With VPN, single-IP servers, or when wanting traffic through VPN

3. Troubleshooting VPN Issues: Provides 5 actionable diagnostic steps:

   • Remove --address option if present
   • Check VPN routing table
   • Verify connectivity to Telegram servers
   • Check firewall rules
   • Handle split-tunnel VPN scenarios

Example

Before (doesn't work with VPN):

./mtproto-proxy -u nobody -p 8888 -H 443 -S <secret> --address 10.0.1.5 --aes-pwd proxy-secret proxy-multi.conf -M 1

After (works with VPN):

./mtproto-proxy -u nobody -p 8888 -H 443 -S <secret> --aes-pwd proxy-secret proxy-multi.conf -M 1

Simply removing the --address option allows the proxy to route through VPN automatically.

Impact

• No code changes: Pure documentation update
• No breaking changes: Existing configurations continue to work
• Improves usability: Users can now easily configure MTProxy to work with VPN
• Documents hidden feature: The --address option is now properly documented
