About

Arava VPN

Read full description

Arava is a VPN client for your own servers or the provider you choose. Add a configuration or subscription and connect through an encrypted tunnel. Arava does not include a VPN subscription or require an Arava account. SETUP Import a subscription link, scan a configuration QR code, or import a file. Supported configuration formats include sing-box JSON and WireGuard / AmneziaWG configuration files. CONNECTION Choose a server manually or use Auto. Supported protocols include Hysteria2, VLESS + Reality, and WireGuard / AmneziaWG. Subscription updates help keep your server list current. DNS The engine resolves client domains through Google DNS over HTTPS inside the VPN. If that connection fails, it does not fall back to local client DNS. VPN server addresses may use the system resolver to establish the tunnel. PRIVACY No advertising or analytics SDKs. Configuration credentials are stored in the device's encrypted system storage. Device identifiers and server-location requests go to the subscription provider, as described in the privacy policy. Your provider handles VPN traffic; Google handles tunneled DNS requests. You need a compatible configuration from your own server or a VPN provider.
