Hello,

> I’v installed wireguard-app from play store on android 8.1.
> If using the userspace version i get a "key-icon" in the status-bar when a tunnel is active.
> Switching to the kernel version the icon is not working any more.

the userspace version uses the native Android VPN-API, which always shows the key icon for security reasons.

The kernel version doesn't use this API because, well, it uses the kernel module. That's why the key icon isn't shown.


Greetings
Nicolas
