Feature Request: Add VPN in the Android network settings

kredlol · March 25, 2021 at 3:05 AM

Hi!

First of all great product, love it and it works great!

On my phone (see screenshoots below) I've a option to use a VPN profile built'in into android, and use wireguard app to connect at system-boot.

I would like to have this option in the Z8 pro system menu aswell.
The reason is I need the Z8 pro to auto-connect to my own wireguard server at system-boot.

Thanks

Does the Wireguard App have have an in-app setting to auto-start at system bootup?

Its the official Wireguard app on Google play, It does NOT have any in-app settings for system boot-up both on the phone and on the Z8 pro.

The only system-boot settings and auto-connect settings I can find on my phone is in system settings
Full path on my Phone is System Settings -> Connections -> More Connection Settings -> VPN (screenshots above)

Wireguard settings on Z8 pro has the same settings page as on my phone.

Change to another VPN provider that provides better functionality (start on boot) in their dedicated app.

ExpressVPN works well.

Im not using a VPN provider. Im connecting to my home server (NAS) that is running my own Wireguard server for access to media files.

Currently its not possible without maybe using other startup-apps.

And since i run the Wireguard server on my Ubuntu machine, I need to use the official Wireguard app.
