Hello!
We are very glad to inform you that Eddie 1.0 for Android systems has been released.
Eddie Android edition is a free and open source OpenVPN 3 GUI released under GPLv3. Source code is available here: https://gitlab.com/AirVPN/EddieAndroid
Main features:
- Free and open source application based on OpenVPN 3
- Only official application by AirVPN
- Robust, best effort prevention of traffic leaks outside the VPN tunnel
- Battery-conscious application
- Low RAM footprint
- Option to start and connect the application at device boot
- Option to define which apps must have traffic inside or outside the VPN tunnel through white and black list
- OpenVPN linked against mbedTLS library
- Android 5.1 or higher required
- fully localized (current available languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Turkish)
The traffic leak prevention has proved to be stronger than the one implemented in OVPN for Android. A thorough OpenVPN error detection allows Eddie to "lock" the network in case of unrecoverable disconnection (for example when communications to the VPN server get broken).

Kind regards and datalove
