[–] utopiah@lemmy.ml 1 point 5 months ago (5 children) I always liked the potential of Waydroid... but in practice never used it. If you actually use it, what do you use it for? permalink fedilink source hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Allero@lemmy.today 1 point 2 months ago (4 children) Advanced VPN tools as well as Tor are currently lacking on Linux ARM. So, anything that needs them goes straight into Waydroid. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] utopiah@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 months ago (3 children) Advanced?

For most applications Wireguard is used for, like tunneling to your own machine under normal circumstances, there's no need for those, they add attack surface, incur severe maintenance burden and put political pressure on the project. And as Wireguard serves as an upstream for censorship-resistant protocols, they would be threatened as well. permalink fedilink source parent
