[Idea] Support Wireguard or OpenVPN

[galaxyrun]

It would be a great thing if you could connect TC to a Wireguard or OpenVPN.

No Problem, you can do it since long time when using the external VPN setup in advanced options

That's setting the virtual IP address of the local VPN, but doesn't connect to a remote VPN. You can however, as you know, use a SOCKS5 proxy.

OK, thx for reply. So I'm totally wrong :( But than I don't know the benefit of this virtual IP address of the local VPN ?

[kasnder]

Sometimes, you local internet router might use the same IP address as TC, then you run into conflicts and need to change the IP of TC's local VPN.

[kasnder]

It's already possible to route network traffic through TOR using a local SOCKS proxy. This offers much more reliable privacy protection than VPNs.

OK but what if I use a VPN like it is intended? I.e. to have access to other devices on the VPN.

I don't understand what you are meaning. So I hope my answer will fit:
Android is allowing only 1 VPN at a time. As soon as you activate an other VPN, TC will stop working
