Eddie for Android Security Issues

[lostagain 0]

I would like someone to explain to me how Eddie for Android is at all secure considering the app is located in the Google Play store?
Google can see everything, why the hell should I use Eddie on my phone?

Hello!

Eddie Android edition does not send any data to Google, so no reasons to worry about that. It also "contains" no trackers at all as you can verify here:

Furthermore, you are not obliged to download Eddie from the Play Store, because we offer the APK through a direct download from our web sites, as you must already know. https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/29660-using-airvpn-with-eddie-client-for-android/

It's true, however, that you can't know whether some Android process by Google or the manufacturer of your device bypasses the VPN tunnel, as it happens in iOS with Apple services. However, it would be a common problem to all VPN apps and protocols, not Eddie specific.

Kind regards
