## What it is
The official Android GUI application for WireGuard, a fast and modern VPN. It opportunistically uses the in-kernel WireGuard implementation and falls back to a non-root userspace implementation, and also ships an embeddable tunnel library on Maven Central.

## Use cases
- connect to a wireguard vpn on android
- manage wireguard tunnels and configurations on my phone
- embed wireguard tunneling in my own android app
- set up a secure vpn client without root
- import and switch between wireguard profiles on android

## When to choose
- you need a WireGuard VPN client on Android
- you want to embed WireGuard tunneling into an Android app via the Maven library
- you want a maintained, official client with kernel or userspace backends

## When to avoid
- you need a VPN client for desktop or iOS platforms
- you need a different VPN protocol than WireGuard
- you want a command-line WireGuard tool rather than a GUI

- artifact type: application
