WG Tunnel is a free and open-source Android client for WireGuard and AmneziaWG VPN tunnels, built in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose. It adds auto-tunneling based on network conditions, a lockdown kill switch, split tunneling, and local HTTP/SOCKS5 proxying to route apps or other devices through the tunnel.

Use cases

• manage wireguard tunnels on android
• automatically switch vpn when changing wifi networks
• prevent traffic leaks with a vpn kill switch
• bypass censorship with amneziawg
• proxy other devices through my phone's vpn via socks5
• split tunnel specific apps like android auto outside the vpn
• use a foss wireguard client without trackers
• run wireguard on android tv

When to choose

• you self-host a WireGuard server or use a provider that exports WireGuard configs and want a FOSS Android client
• you need auto-tunneling, lockdown mode, or local proxying beyond the official WireGuard app
• you need AmneziaWG support for censorship resistance
• you want Android TV support or Tasker/automation integrations

When to avoid

• you expect a VPN provider with servers - WG Tunnel only manages tunnels you configure yourself
• you need a VPN client for iOS, Windows, or macOS (desktop support is separate and newer)
• you rely on Amazon Fire TV, which is not officially supported
