A VPN for Android that connects in one tap

Tunnexa is a free VPN app for Android 7.0 and later. It works with Android's own VPN controls, so you can keep it always on, choose which apps skip the tunnel, and connect the moment you open the app.

Made for the way Android works

Tunnexa uses Android's built-in VPN features instead of working around them.

Always-on VPN

Free account

Kill Switch & Always On opens Android's VPN settings, where you can keep Tunnexa always on and block connections without VPN.

How the Kill Switch works →

Per-app split tunneling

Free account

Pick apps, like banking or maps, that use your normal connection. Everything else stays in the tunnel.

Set up Split Tunneling →

Auto Connect

Free account

Connect the moment the app opens. After a restart, a Tap to connect notification gets you back in one tap. Both are off until you turn them on.

About Auto Connect →

Six protocols

WireGuard for everyday speed, OpenVPN for tricky connections, and AmneziaWG or Stealth for networks that block VPNs.

Compare the protocols →

DNS leak protection

On from the first tap, for guests too. Every lookup stays private, inside your tunnel.

Phones and tablets

The layout adapts to bigger screens, so Tunnexa feels at home on Android tablets too.

FAQ

Android VPN questions

Still unsure? Write to us at support@tunnexa.com.

Which Android versions does Tunnexa support?

Android 7.0 or later, on phones and tablets.

Why does Android ask me to allow a VPN connection?

Android asks before any app can set up a VPN. Tap OK once, and Tunnexa can connect from then on.

How do I turn on Always-on VPN?

Sign in for free, then open Settings › Kill Switch & Always On in Tunnexa. It takes you to Android's VPN settings, where you can turn on Always-on VPN and Block connections without VPN.

Can I choose which apps use the VPN?

Yes. With a free account, Split Tunneling lets chosen apps bypass the VPN while everything else stays protected.

Is there an iPhone or desktop version?

No. Tunnexa is an Android app.
