AmneziaWG VPN for iOS — when WireGuard is blocked
AmneziaWG is obfuscated WireGuard for networks that detect standard VPN traffic. FollowNet includes AmneziaWG on iOS and can activate it automatically via Smart Connect.
- Obfuscated WireGuard for restrictive networks
- Available via Smart Connect or manual selection
- Same servers as WireGuard and IKEv2
- Native iOS Network Extension
Why obfuscation matters
Deep packet inspection (DPI) can block or throttle recognizable VPN signatures. AmneziaWG wraps WireGuard in a form that is harder to classify — useful on some mobile carriers and in censorship-heavy regions.
Using AmneziaWG in FollowNet
Enable Smart Connect for automatic fallback, or select AmneziaWG manually in Settings → Protocol. Performance may differ from plain WireGuard; Speed Test helps compare.
