 ## TODO
 - [ ] Pass `allow_ports` param via cli  
 - [ ] Add unit tests  
 - [ ] Add proper error handling in case if payload is not as expected  
 - [ ] Cross compile for other platforms (currently supports only amd64)  
 - [ ] Refactor by improving modules/folder structure following golang best practices  
-- [ ] Add systemd files and instructions to run the plugin as systemd service
