Upgrade to v2.x of the MongoDB Go driver

Hello,

Recently we receive a notification from MongoDB Atlas regarding outdated MongoDB Go Driver with the following content:

```
We noticed that you are using the MongoDB Go Driver v1.x. This version is currently in maintenance mode and will not receive security patches, bug fixes, or feature updates as of January 31, 2026.

We encourage you to upgrade to v2.x of the MongoDB Go driver today using this migration guide. This upgrade is crucial to ensure you receive ongoing features, security, and performance enhancements.

If you have already attempted to upgrade the driver and couldn’t follow through, we would love to learn why.
```

Based on this I would like to ask whether this could happen soon on PritunlVPN side ?

Thank you

Only the pritunl-dns server component uses the Go MongoDB driver, the primary Pritunl codebase uses PyMongo. Pritunl Zero and Pritunl Cloud which are Go based have already been migrated to the v2 driver. The issue with the pritunl-dns component and Pritunl codebase is it has been out for a much longer time than the other Go codebases and there may still be users running very old MongoDB versions. I don’t want to migrate that and break compatibility for something that has only 2-3 database calls in the entire codebase. I will look into migrating it in the future but there is no issue with it’s current usage.
