IPv6Droid

IPv6Droid is an open-source Android application in the Internet & Browsers category. It provides IPv6 connectivity through a tunnel service, which is required for the app to function. Users can operate their own tunnel service on suitable infrastructure, with IPv6DroidServer available as a related server project.

The app does not require a rooted Android device. It cannot be used while another VPN is active. Using this IPv6 approach has privacy and reachability implications: IPv6 connections use a fixed IP address that can make a person identifiable to communication partners, and the mobile device may become reachable from outside.

IPv6Droid can be installed as a convenience package that guides users through entering their account details and receives updates as fixes or features are released. As open-source software under the General Public License, it can also be built from its sources, modified, and redistributed under that license. MirrorNest stores the official Android build directly on its own storage and scans it for malware before publishing.
