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 ispage.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.
