I just found your app a few weeks ago and it's exactly what I had been looking for in networking control on android. Thank you for making such a wonderful tool!

My only problem now is that android seems to only allow a single VPN 'tunnel'/connection, so I can't -so far as I know- simultaneously use your app with a dedicated VPN service like Mullvad. Is there any easy-ish way to get around that?

In my searching around, at least one person has suggested using something like insular/Island with all installed apps, then use the 'VPN' service on the non-insular side, but that to me seems to leave open all the 'system apps'.

I don't actually expect that you'd help some rando with this, but it's super cool to encounter a maker of an app that I love, so I thought I would ask on the off chance.




That's a very kind thing to say. Thanks.

Curious: From reddit, or hacker news?

If your VPN app supports on-device SOCKS5 proxy, then that's one way to chain Rethink (check Settings) to it. Rethink, for example, can chain up to Orbot (Tor as a proxy over on-device SOCKS5) just fine.

If not, wait until we release WireGuard integration. It has been complete for a good part of 5 months now, but we never built a UI for it and now in the meantime upstream impl we rely on (both gVisor/netstack and WireGuard) has changed, and we need to pick those changes up. Expect it to happen in a month or two, along with the UI bits.
