Wire VPN for Android

A fork of WireGuard for Android, rebranded as Wire VPN.

Package: page.onram.wirevpn · Available from our F-Droid repository on release.

Wire VPN is an Android GUI for WireGuard. It opportunistically uses the kernel implementation, and falls back to using the non-root userspace implementation.

What changed from upstream

• App name rebranded from WireGuard to Wire VPN
• New launcher icon (padlock with a bold W in a circle)
• Application ID changed to page.onram.wirevpn (Java/Kotlin package is page.onram.wirevpn)
• GitHub Actions pipeline: every new Git release automatically builds a signed release APK and produces F-Droid v2 repository artifacts
• Upstream in-app auto-updater and donation links removed (we distribute via our own F-Droid repo)

Building

$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.obahan.xyz/frank/wirevpn.git
$ cd wirevpn
$ ./gradlew assembleRelease

The build compiles the tunnel backend natively (CMake + NDK) and the userspace WireGuard implementation in Go (Go 1.24.3 is fetched and hash-checked by the build automatically).

To sign with a keystore, export:

export KEYSTORE_FILE=/path/to/keystore.jks
export KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=...
export KEY_ALIAS=...
export KEY_PASSWORD=...

Releases are cut by creating a Git tag/release on main (e.g. v1.0.x); the release.yml GitHub Action builds and publishes the artifacts.

Translating

This project uses Crowdin upstream; translations in ui/src/main/res/values-*/ are carried over from the WireGuard project.
