What users are saying

1. Perfectly connects to my server, but the traffic still goes outside this tunnel.It would be really great if strongswan supports TCP encapsulation other then UDP as only a fallback when UDP ports are blocked, since most already blocked UDP port 500 and 4500I used an old version of strongSwan for years, it was a custom version from my VPN provider.

2. UPD: The battery consumption increases after automatic reconnection to the server and decreases after the forced stop and restart of the application.I always use strong swan in order to connect to Ikev2 protocol with either Nord or Surfshark.

3. Fortunately I found 2 apps that are 100% regristration free, 100% ad free, provides one touch connection to multiple VPNs all over the globe, & doesn't cost you a dime.

4. It was good, especially with battery life and network changes, but lacked many features offered with OpenVPN like excluding apps, so I used OpenVPN instead.

5. This is much more stable and lighter.I was hoping it would provide L2TP options which have been removed in the new versions of Android's embedded client, but it does not.

6. Perfect for people with limited bandwidth like me.This is a great app to use on mobile phones, it ensures a seamless speedy connection.

7. But I've recently upgraded to the latest version of strongSwan and it's so much better now, with Always-On support and Split Tunneling for apps it has everything I need.

8. Thanks to the whole team!A good application that I use all the time, but after a few hours of use, it starts to consume a lot of battery power.

9. I don't see any benefit on using this app instead the VPN client that already comes with Android... in fact it seems to be a mere interface????Doesn't work for me.

10. I recently learned that IKEv2 was a very robust protocol over mobile networks and switching network on the fly.

11. Handles network switches almost perfectly, speeds and ping are slightly better then using the regular app.
