Re: Wireguard on android w/o kernel module
Hi Jason, I'm looking into that specific aspect as we speak. Google at times has "peculiar ways" to conceive of how users would interact with Android, maybe this is one of them. However, I've seen developers abuse APIs in self interest for a number of reasons. On iOS, once a VPN app is disconnected, it automatically ceases the right to "always on." I'll dig around and get back to you on this. Thanks,Jose On Saturday, June 2, 2018, 5:49 PM, Jason A.

Re: Wireguard on android w/o kernel module
Pardon me, as I just sent a related message without reading this one first. The fact remains, there should be a better way to handle and prevent this. Perhaps, at a minimum and in the interim, to suggest investigating the installation of another VPN client settings right in the error message.

Re: Wireguard on android w/o kernel module
Hello Maximilian, This happens when either: a) You reject the permissions prompt shown when the app opens. b) Another VPN application is set to "always on" mode. You can investigate (b) by fishing around in the system VPN settings and seeing what's there, possibly removing authorization for those. Afterwards, close the application, reopen it, and it should prompt you to accept permissions. We'll happily accept a patch automating this kind of thing, if the Android frameworks allow it.
