What is the version of Gluetun

Running version latest built on 2025-08-16T20:37:03.073Z (commit d82df2b)

What's the problem 🤔

I tried using different versions of Gluetun, still ending up with this log:

ERROR [vpn] cannot get version information: commit not found: d82df2b

It happened after I had to delete servers.json due to the file getting corrupted at some point.
