Description
WireGuard is a fast, modern, and secure VPN tunnel. This app allows users to manage and use WireGuard tunnels. The app can import new tunnels from archives and files, from QR codes, or you can create one from scratch. It is currently undergoing rapid development, and we are listening to our users in implementing new and exciting features. Please visit wireguard.com for a summary of the WireGuard protocol and how to set up your own WireGuard server for use with this app.
What’s New
Version 1.0.9
Sometimes the tunnel would disconnect under high memory low. This has been resolved.
Ratings and Reviews
Blazing speeds, instant connection, greater security.
I’ve been on the hunt for a good VPN app for iOS for years now. I used ProtonVPN for a while. Then I found out about WireGuard through Mullvad VPN. I read the white paper and was sold. The test against OpenVPN near the end of the paper made OpenVPN look like a dinosaur. Much higher throughput, much lower ping, and newer encryption standards makes for blazing speeds, instant connections, and greater security.
So I setup an account with Mullvad VPN and loaded the config file for all 108 of their WireGuard servers. I’ve been using this app for over a month without many issues. The new update seemed to fix the timeout issue where I’d have to re-handshake or choose another server occasionally. I occasionally have the same issue with WireGuard on my Mac using the Mullvad app. So I think it’s a protocol issue, and not an issue with this app. Could be a keying issue with Mullvad.
Also, make sure that you tap edit on your server and enable both options for On-demand Activation. That way it never disconnects when you lock your phone or switch between WiFi and Cellular. There needs to be a global On-demand Activation switch. It’s annoying to have to do it individually on each server.
All things considered, WireGuard is off to a great start for being in beta still. I’m here to stay.
Fast, Light and Most Importantly—Stable!
As proven by my own experience—Absolutely the single best app for using your WireGuard VPN protocol profiles. The connection is stable and stays connected for days to the tunnel through multiple hops on and off of cellular to and from WiFi networks.
It is open source, well supported and absolutely brilliant. This is an incredible asset and wonderfully executed. To all those involved in bringing this app and WireGuard to iOS, thank you!
I am an advocate of using VPNs and the OpenVPN protocol and the OpenVPN Connect app for iOS, however, the release of this app changes everything. While this app is not the first WireGuard app in the AppStore, it is the only one I would ever trust—as it was created with the same transparency and openness as the WireGuard protocol itself.
Wireguard is AWESOME, but VPN app auto-update is huge security risk!
This is not so much a Wireguard problem as it is an Apple problem, but all VPN apps in iOS are vulnerable to the tunnel breaking during auto-update of the VPN app itself.
VPN APPS SHOULD NOT AUTO-UPDATE!!!!! How does iOS not have auto-updates configurable per app? VPN apps should NOT AUTO-UPDATE WHILE IN USE WITHOUT USER APPROVAL! VPN auto-update breaks the tunnel even while actively in use, unless iOS is keeping the tunnel alive while removing the VPN GUI indicator from the status bar... What the h3ll Apple?!??
