- <p>GrapheneOS has built-in VPN support included in the operating system. Orbot, OpenVPN
- for Android, the userspace implementation of WireGuard, and the Private Internet Access
- VPN app have all been tested and reported working. VPNs can be configured under
- Settings -> Network & Internet -> Advanced -> VPN.
-
- <p>There is an "Always-On VPN" toggle which forces connections to only use the
- configured VPN. This will prevent apps from falling back to an unsecured connection and
- leaking data outside the VPN in the event the connection to it is lost.</p>
+ <p>VPNs can be configured under Settings ➔ Network &amp; Internet ➔ Advanced ➔ VPN.
+ Support for the following protocols is included: PPTP (insecure, obsolete), L2TP/IPSec
+ PSK, L2TP/IPSec RSA, IPSec Xauth PSK, IPSec Xauth RSA and IPSec Hybrid RSA. Apps can
+ also provide userspace VPN implementations and the following open source apps are
+ recommended: Orbot (Tor), WireGuard, OpenVPN for Android and the Private Internet
+ Access client (OpenVPN).</p>
+ <p>VPN configurations created with the built-in support can be set as the always-on
+ VPN in the configuration panel. This will keep the VPN running, reconnecting as
+ necessary and will force all connections through them. An app providing a VPN service
+ can also be set as the always-on VPN via the entry in the Settings page. For app-based
+ VPN implementations, there's also an additional "Block connections without VPN" toggle
+ which is needed to prevent leaks when the app's VPN service isn't running.</p>
