I have decided to not pursue selling VPN/Sentry anymore and to just keep it for personal use and nothing more. I will not open source it either because I don't want to handle the inevitable questions about it. So, after erasing the server tomorrow this is the end of the public part of this project.

That's a shame. Hopefully you consider contacting Mullvad or Airvpn in the future. It's an amazing product that you have created.

Like an ocean tossed wave where the wind carries it hither and thither, never knowing in and of itself wherefore it shall go. Yet you are not an ocean wave being tossed here and there in mindless fashion.
Are you?
Of course not.
Meanwhile, in related news: I need numbers in the financial format to know what it is I am working with.
It doesn't get anymore simple than that.

Since the VPN/Sentry app and server are not available anymore and I won't continue this project publicly anymore, I am closing this thread.

Please do not use other threads to write about VPN/Sentry.

    VPN/Sentry

    Virtual private network with firewall

    • Encrypt the internet traffic of all your apps
    • Allow or block internet traffic per app or address
    • Mix your internet traffic with that of others for increased privacy
    • Simple to use while still offering advanced features

    Blocking access to the internet can help to:

    • reduce data usage
    • save on battery usage
    • increase your privacy

    VPN/Sentry is designed for minimum battery usage and maximum network speed. It does not require root permissions.

    VPN/Sentry supports all IP protocols. You'll even have IPv6 connectivity when you normally don't have.

    There is a free data allowance of 50 MB per day to try the app. Unlimited data usage is available with a subscription.

    This app is in beta testing stage, but seems to be pretty stable so far.

    I have opened this thread again, because else people will, understandably, use other ways to contact me about VPN/Sentry.

    As suggested by some, I have sent ProtonVPN this morning a message. I am curious about what they are going to answer.

    While using VPN/Sentry myself, I found a few minor bugs, which are addressed in beta version 0.52, available as a direct download from here.

    Edit: hidden convenience feature: long click on an app icon or app name to launch it.

    I am still hoping to continue this project in some way.

    Edit: like NetGuard, I have raised the required Android version to 5.1 Lollipop.

    I have just released beta version 0.30

    It may take Google's servers a few hours to make this release available everywhere.

    Hopefully are crashes are fixed now. @yadida08 can you please confirm this?

    The real-time log shows which rule type was applied now. You can find the meaning of the two letter abbreviations in the help. If somebody has a better idea about how to visualize the rule type, please let me know.

    I have just released beta version 0.40

    It may take Google's servers some time to make this release available everywhere.

    This version fixes hanging on connectivity changes, which seems to affect only some devices. Thanks @feb8born for helping me to find this bug (I couldn't reproduce this problem on my own devices).

    Another change is that new addresses will be shown with a bold typeface for 10 minutes.

    The last days there was not a single crash report in the Google Play developer console, so it seems all critical bugs have been solved.

    I have just updated this FAQ with some additional information: https://www.vpnsentry.net/faq/#FAQ14

    In short: your DNS traffic is secure and cannot be altered by malicious third parties if you have VPN/Sentry enabled (think of open Wi-Fi hotspots).

    A personal experience: I have recently seen an open hotspot trying to serve VPN/Sentry a false security certificate (which is basically a Man-in-the-middle attack). VPN/Sentry correctly refused to connect to the VPN server. Since the Android VPN service keeps running all the time, the traffic didn't go anywhere, which is exactly what you want in such a situation.
