This is great news! Well done Jason and Roopesh.

I’m no app coder, but I can at least give my feedback for what that’s worth. It imported my conf via QR and connected without issues, so far. It’ll be great to see VPN-on-Demand added (eg phone restarts, dead batteries, network switches(?) etc). I’ve also been testing the TunSafe iOS app, which does have VPNoD but is bugging out with UDP writes atm. No doubt soon enough we’ll have at least two good open source apps to choose from. It’s great to have such choice and flexibility when working with my favourite VPN protocol. Keep up the great work everyone, and thanks for what you do.
