Title: Proposal to Integrate Snyk for Enhanced Security Vulnerability Detection

Body:

Dear wireguard-manager team,

As a devoted user and contributor to the wireguard-manager project, I have been continuously impressed by its commitment to providing a secure and efficient WireGuard management solution. In the spirit of contributing to its ongoing excellence, I propose integrating Snyk into our development and deployment workflow. Snyk is a powerful tool that helps in identifying and fixing security vulnerabilities in dependencies.

Why Snyk?

Snyk specializes in security scanning and monitoring, offering precise detection of vulnerabilities within project dependencies. It also provides automated fixes and recommendations, making it easier to maintain high security standards. Given the nature of wireguard-manager as a tool deeply rooted in network security, integrating Snyk could significantly bolster our defense against potential security threats.

Advantages of Integrating Snyk:

1. Early Detection: Snyk continuously monitors for vulnerabilities, allowing us to catch and address security issues as early as possible.
2. Automated Fixes: Snyk not only identifies vulnerabilities but also suggests or automates patches, reducing the manual effort required to maintain security.
3. Compliance and Trust: Demonstrating proactive security measures enhances user trust and helps in meeting compliance standards for software security.
4. Developer Efficiency: By integrating security into the CI/CD pipeline, developers can focus more on feature development rather than being sidetracked by security issues.

Implementation Steps:

1. Sign up for Snyk and link it to our GitHub repository.
2. Add a Snyk configuration file to the repository to define scanning rules and preferences.
3. Integrate Snyk with our CI/CD pipeline to ensure every commit and pull request is scanned.
4. Monitor Snyk reports and address issues promptly, improving our security posture over time.

I am eager to contribute towards integrating Snyk into wireguard-manager, believing it will substantially enhance our project's security measures. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this proposal and am happy to assist in the integration process or provide further clarification on Snyk's benefits.

Thank you for considering this proposal. Enhancing our project's security is a continuous journey, and I believe Snyk can be a valuable ally in this endeavor.

Best regards
