Re: [Android] Wireguard on the Amazon FireTV stick

Hi again,

I managed to enable the interface by sending a tap event through the adb
shell ("input tap 1000 100"), which brought the tunnel editor, from which
it is possible to navigate to the enable button.

And the answer is... It works!

I could verify that, when using a browser on the Fire TV, my public address
was the one of my VPN server. Quite handy if you want to take your stick on
holidays and still be able to watch content from your home country, for
example.

This is obviously hacky. In order to be usable, the app would need to
handle the navigation key events. I noticed that It already handles
KEYCODE_BACK, so I guess this could go together. Amazon has a section about
it on their documentation [1].

Cheers,
Christophe-Marie
