### 1/5 — URL share doesn’t work, returns http 503 error

*2026-05-26, version 0.15*

Very disappointed. Needed this for the share url feature for non-technical friends, and it doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Peak

*2026-04-15, version 0.14*

Works as it should, minimal fast and effective

### 5/5 — Good option for fast WG config

*2026-02-23, version 0.14*

Fast and reliable, best features are - you can block users using tunnels to access your LAN, set expiry period, and change those settings on-the-go.

### 4/5 — Really good but why "Back to Home"

*2025-12-22, version 0.14*

Really good app to create a easy WireGuard tunnel with you phone. But personally I really don't like the name. For my professional customers I can't use this because they think I've installer a cheapest home router. Please change the name for some this else more professional

### 4/5 — I Need On-Demand

*2025-10-16, version 0.13*

Please add a feature for VPN connection management based on location/Wi-Fi network, similar to iOS WireGuard's On-Demand or Android's 'disable at home' option.

### 5/5 — Excellent et simple

*2025-05-20, version 0.9*

Version 0.9 j’ai découvert cet App en cherchant l’App pour un router de base MikroTik et l’utilisation est très simple pour créer un VPN personnel ( pas compliqué ) et ça fonctionne très bien ( stable et rapide ) pour rejoindre vôtre réseau Maison.
Excellent App , very easy and  useful to create a VPN ( Back to home ) to permit a secure connection from your phone to your own home network.

### 5/5 — Amazingly simple

*2025-04-14, version 0.9*

It works on my MacBook Air as well. It’s very simple, but it does a lot of magic under the hood. Sharing options are very cool.

### 5/5 — Excellent app with intuitive setup

*2025-03-30, version 0.9*

Setting up the tunnels is quick and easy, you are guided through a step by step process to set the various user options like expiry and LAN access.

The tunnels itself work reliably and use the MikroTik cloud ddns service which is provided free of charge. Wireguard uses less battery / cpu and is faster to connect so very happy with the implementation and easily get gigabit. 

The app design itself is attractive and customers have no issues using it. No crashes or instability and it’s not loaded with trackers which is appreciated. It gets regular updates.

This is a great feature their routers support with an excellent app to match! It makes MikroTik an easy recommendation for SME’s.

### 5/5 — Quick and easy

*2025-01-09, version 0.9*

Super quick to set up and works perfectly. 

Just remember to create firewall rules to access LAN at the remote end.

### 5/5 — Just tried

*2024-08-13, version 0.9*

very easy to use when comparing to wireguard app.
Recommend this if you are able to
