CLUSTER TRAFFIC-ANDROID-CLIENT · 36 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2022-07-12
Android VPN proxy clients
This cluster comprises Android apps that route traffic through encrypted tunnels and proxy servers, supporting multiple protocols, per-app rules, and subscription imports. The dated entry history before the index start shows sporadic entries in late 2021 and 2022, a pause until early 2025, then a more consistent stream with occasional months having two new products. Among these, nexaproxy leads on traction with two stars, ahead of tunvpn with one star and Exclave with zero.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
