 The program creates 2 log files. one containing the normal logs (`logs.log`), and the other containing the ANSI color codes (`logs_color.log`)
 If you want to see the logs of this program by ssh-ing into the server computer, then there are 2 ways for that:
+
 1) [To view logs with color] `less -R +F Path_to_repository_root/logs/logs_color.log`
 2) [To view plain logs without color] `tail -f Path_to_repository_root/logs/logs.log`

 I haven't polished the program and fixed every bug because i needed this script to be made fast according to my needs.
 If you encounter any bugs, feel free to open an issue or a pull request.

+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Connectivity methods
+
+up until release [v1.1.0-lw](https://github.com/RoguedBear/12-hour-server/releases/tag/v1.1.0-lw), the program used a
+method called `check_connected_to_internetV2`. This is the v2 method which checks for internet connectivity by
+polling `carrier` & `operstate` in directory `/sys/class/<your network device name>/`
 
+Since i moved onto a complex network setup involving a secondary router that acts as a DHCP relay, `operstate`
+& `carrier` both showed `up`/`1` as their output. even if the main router was down and the device had no IP address
+assigned to it.
 
+So to make the script work, the v3 method (`check_connected_to_internetV3`), now pings the default gateway to check if
+main router is still up or not.
+
+You'd be fine with using `connectivity_method` as `v2` as long as the device connects to the main router. Or, you can
+switch to using the ping method by setting `connectivity_method` to `v3` if you want that. at the time of writing,
+haven't put the ping method to much irl use and the v2 method works just as fine.
