I’m currently using “OpenVPN for Android”, and it mostly works, but the UI is very dated and hard to use (I can’t figure out how to delete a VPN profile), and crashes if it goes into split screen mode. Is there a better open source VPN client for Android that supports OpenVPN or Wireguard configuration files?
The best wireguard app at least is the one made by them, I think just called wireguard for android. Not sure about openvpn but sometimes your provider will have apps.
Can confirm, it’s just called Wireguard and it’s on F-Droid to boot. It’s also ridiculously more battery friendly than OpenVPN. OpenVPN will devour your battery in a matter of hours.
Yuuup. I will not go back to openVPN, wireguard spoiled me.
I watched a video that showed 4 repeating GPS coordinates can identify you as a unique individual with 95% accuracy even if you are using a VPN. Don’t assume a VPN is giving you privacy.
Good thing I don’t have GPS enabled unless I absolutely trust the app. It’s certainly not enabled for the browser.

Good points, especially the fact that IP addresses aren’t the only tracking asset. Though I wonder if you only use third party libre clients, obfuscating your IP address can actually work.

Does it work for non-mullvad services?

Unfortunately, no. However, the Wireguard app does work for non-Mullvad Wireguard connections. It’s not as easy or convenient to use as MullvadVPN’s app, but it’s not difficult either.

I thought it was proprietary.

Well, OpenVPN is the name of the protocol, not the client.
