Ratings and reviews

The app is easy to use and does it's job creating a secure tunnel back to my home network. The big issue I have is the inability to exempt certain apps, for example Android Auto, from the VPN tunnel so they still function while encrypting all other traffic. The only split-tunneling that is available is on the server side and IP address based, which (a) applies to all connections not just individual android apps, and (b) wouldn't solve the issue for this particular use case.

Good app, and it works well on my chromebook, but it disconnects automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity. I have turned off battery optimization on the app and set it as an always on VPN, but it still turns itself off after I don't use it for 5 minutes. 5 stars otherwise, but not turning itself off is a critical function of a VPN.

Disconnects far to often and easily irrespective of settings in android os. Biggest pain is it constantly demands the 2FA be input again which gets highly annoying also... Great idea but not quite sorted yet!
