The app works great when it works. However, there is something that needs to be addressed. When I move out of Wi-Fi coverage and into Cellular coverage, the connection to my office VPN is not maintained automatically. Yes all the boxes etc. have been checked. I have to open the app, click disconnect and hit reconnect in order to maintain my data connection to the VPN. We can't be fumbling with apps while driving etc. This has to work as advertised.

Better than the official OpenVPN app. This app allows me to whitelist some apps when the tunnel is up. This is required for example for Android Auto or Waze. Very flexible application and offers more control options than the official app. Would be interested to donate, it's worth it. Thanks for the great app!

Disconnected at some point with no indication, and instead of blocking outbound traffic, leaked all of my traffic for who knows how long on open connection.

Hello and thank you for this great app! It would be much better to have an option for configuring split tunneling (per-app-proxy) setting in one place. it's so irritating to have to replicate setting up split tunneling for all configs.
★☆☆☆☆Matin Azizi· Nov 15, 2024
It is not compatible with my Android. When I try to connect to the server I have entered, the app crashes and there is no connection. I can't even try again. The problem persists even after a forced stop and restart. I am unable to use it at all. Can't I enter multiple configs at once? Android 13
