Use of VpnService

The app uses the Android VpnService class. It is required for the remote router access feature. Without VpnService these capabilities do not work: Android provides an app no other way to route traffic into a private network's address range.

Features that require VpnService:
1. Reaching the router's web interface at its address on the private tailnet when the phone is not connected to the router's local network - for example, over mobile data or someone else's Wi-Fi.
2. Listing your own devices on the tailnet, checking whether they are reachable, and filling the router address into the connection form.
3. Optionally, at your choice: an exit node - you can route the device's internet traffic through another of your own devices on the same network.

3. Optionally, at your choice: an exit node - you can route the device's internet traffic through another of your own devices on the same network.

How it works:
- The feature is off by default, is enabled only by you, and requires confirmation of Android's own system prompt.
- Only tailnet traffic (100.64.0.0/10) is routed through the connection. Your device's general internet traffic is not carried - except when you enable an exit node yourself, in which case it goes through your own device, not through our server.
- Traffic is end-to-end encrypted; the private key never leaves the device.
- The app does not intercept, inspect or modify your traffic, does not redirect it to third parties, shows no ads, and contains no analytics.

Built for Routerich OpenWrt-based routers, with a clean mobile interface for quick checks and deep configuration alike.
