How it started​

WG Tunnel didn't start out as an ambitious project. It began as a small, simple Android app with one job: turn a WireGuard tunnel on or off automatically based on which Wi-Fi network you were connected to. It was a very basic app with just on-demand tunneling that saved you from having to remember to flip a switch every time you left the house or got home.

How it grew​

That small idea kept growing. Auto-tunneling expanded to cover more network scenarios with custom tunnel mapping. A kill switch followed, then a local SOCKS5/HTTP proxy mode, dynamic DNS handling, and full support for AmneziaWG alongside standard WireGuard, giving users real censorship resistance against DPI-based network filtering. What started as a single-purpose utility became one of the more full-featured WireGuard clients available for Android, including support for Android TV.

Eventually, the same question kept coming up from users: when is this coming to desktop? After enough requests, and plenty of hours spent, WG Tunnel expanded to Windows and Linux, built as a real native application, not a wrapped web app, sharing the same tunnel engine and core feature set as Android.

Who's behind it​

WG Tunnel is built and maintained by a single developer, in the open, in whatever hours are available outside of everything else life demands. There's no company, no team, and no strings attached from government, corporate, and NGO backing. Just one person who cares about the project and the people using it, supported by small dollar donations from those who can spare them.

Free and open source, always​

Every part of WG Tunnel, Android and desktop, is fully open source. No trackers, no closed-source dependencies, no paywalled features. That's not going to change. If you'd like to see the code, report an issue, or contribute, everything lives on GitHub.

If WG Tunnel has been useful to you, consider supporting its development. Every bit helps keep this project moving forward.
