The official app for managing WireGuard VPN tunnels.

Ratings and reviews

Same as some other reviewers, the lack of persistent notification showing status is a major deficiency. Especially having no notification of inability to connect, confirmation of successful connection, and clear notification of disconnection leaves you guessing. Opening the app & trying to decipher recent log entries to determine connection status is not acceptable. Two stars at best, largely because it offers no peace of mind that the VPN is connected & working at any given moment.

This app could provide more feedback to the user when a connection is toggled. I expect technical info to be available, but one should at least be able to see some simple details. Also, some errors are too vague to do anything with. I have a Unifi wireguard file I attempted to import that just says Invalid name... What does that mean? Oh, a reddit post from 4 years ago says the file name is too long! Why???

If you're having any kind of connection issue while on mobile networks, check for packet fragmentation. Cellular companies use a lower MTU than your home Wi-fi. (This especially applies when transporting TCP over UDP while tethering or using Wi-Fi hotspot.) On another note, I've noticed what seems to be a potential bug. I noticed that ALL permissions are blocked for the app on my Android phone. This is not normal! And, notification permissions are not even present! (S23U)
