## What it is
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
