	[Outline](https://f-droid.org/packages/org.outline.android.client/) is an offering designed to let anyone run their own VPN based on Shadowsocks.
	[WireGuard](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.wireguard.android/) is a generic [WireGuard](https://www.wireguard.com/) client for any provider that offers it.
	So far, none of the VPN providers have taken the plunge into fully supporting reproducible builds. There is some progress: some of the releases of [WireGuard](https://verification.f-droid.org/com.wireguard.android.json), [Tailscale](https://verification.f-droid.org/com.tailscale.ipn.json), and [Mysterium VPN](https://verification.f-droid.org/network.mysterium.vpn.json) have been reproduced on our verification server. But these apps are not setup for the full reproducible publishing setup, which confirms that the f-droid.org version matches the upstream developer's version exactly, then publishes with the upstream signature. The F-Droid community is helping more and more apps achieve reproducible builds, which VPN app will be the first?
	There are also a number of apps that are dedicated to a given provider. Although there are generic clients available, there are good reasons for a free software provider to ship a custom app. First, it can make configuration dead simple. Calyx VPN and Riseup VPN have no accounts at all, so just install the app, and turn on the VPN. Second, it allows the provider to include multiple methods of connecting and automatically switch between them, depending on what works best. We decide which apps to include based on what is best for the users. A VPN client that offers no additional functionality and just serves as a rebrand of an existing client does not serve users well. In order for an app from a specific provider to be included, it must provide real value to our users. Here is a list of some related examples:
	[IVPN](https://f-droid.org/packages/net.ivpn.client/)	[IPFS](https://f-droid.org/packages/threads.server/)
	[Lavabit Encrypted Proxy](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.lavabit.pahoehoe/)	[atop](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.atop/)
	[Mullvad VPN](https://f-droid.org/packages/net.mullvad.mullvadvpn/)	[Salasana](https://f-droid.org/packages/net.xvello.salasana/)
	[Mysterium VPN](https://f-droid.org/packages/network.mysterium.vpn/)	[Calyx VPN](https://f-droid.org/packages/org.calyxinstitute.vpn/)
	[ProtonVPN](https://f-droid.org/packages/ch.protonvpn.android/)	[atop](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.atop/)
	[Purism Librem Tunnel](https://f-droid.org/packages/one.librem.tunnel/)	[Librem Mail](https://f-droid.org/packages/one.librem.mail/)
	We also get lots of direct messages asking us to include various proprietary VPN apps, or promote various VPN services for a fee. That is of course a non-starter. The first step is free software.
