The native app is on the way, but you can connect today with the official tunnel app from Google Play. It is free and takes a few minutes.
- Install the official tunnel app from Google Play.
- Open your dashboard in the phone's browser, add an Android device, and download its config.
- Import the file in the tunnel app and turn the tunnel on. For always-on protection, set it as the always-on VPN in Android Settings.
Step-by-step help is in the manual setup guide.
What the native app will bring
- One-tap connect with the fastest server chosen for you.
- Always-on VPN and a kill switch, wired into Android's own controls.
- Per-app rules through split tunneling, so you choose what uses the VPN.
Android-specific protection we are building
Android gives apps real controls for VPNs. The native app will use them, so the protection feels built in, not bolted on.
Always-on VPN
Android can keep a VPN on for you at the system level. The app will register as your always-on VPN, so the tunnel comes up at boot and stays up. You do not have to remember to turn it on each morning.
Per-app split tunneling
You decide which apps use the VPN and which skip it. Send your browser and chat apps through the tunnel, and let a local-only app go direct. The choice is per app, and you can change it any time. Learn more in our split tunneling guide.
Kill switch tied to Android
Android has a built-in block that stops traffic if the VPN drops. The app pairs with it, so apps cannot fall back to your normal connection during a brief reconnect. Our kill switch guide explains why this matters.

Use it today, the same protection
You do not need the native app to get a real tunnel on Android. The official tunnel app gives you the same encryption now, and you can even turn on Android's own always-on setting for it.
- Set the tunnel app as the always-on VPN in Android Settings, under Network, then VPN
- Turn on Block connections without VPN there for a kill switch effect
- Your IP stays hidden from the sites you visit, the same as it will with our app
