## Description

CGuard helps you understand and protect the networks around you. Scan nearby WiFi networks, identify suspicious access points and common network threats,<br>review risk details, and use security tools to investigate URLs, ports, and<br>vulnerabilities.<br><br>Features include:<br>- WiFi network scanning and security analysis<br>- Detection of suspicious networks and threat indicators<br>- Scan history and risk details<br>- Security tools for URL, port, and vulnerability checks<br>- Secure account, device, and notification management<br>- WireGuard VPN connections to available CGuard servers<br><br>### Why CGuard uses Android VpnService<br><br>CGuard uses Android&#39;s `VpnService` API to provide its optional WireGuard VPN feature. When you choose a CGuard server and approve Android&#39;s VPN permission prompt, the app creates an encrypted WireGuard tunnel and routes device network traffic through that selected CGuard server. This helps protect network traffic when using untrusted or high-risk WiFi networks.<br><br>You control when the VPN is connected and can disconnect it from the CGuard VPN screen. After a WiFi security scan identifies a high-risk network, CGuard may recommend or automatically start the VPN according to the app&#39;s risk protection flow. Android displays the active VPN indicator while the tunnel is running. The VPN feature requires an eligible CGuard plan and an available server.<br><br>The VPN is not required to use the WiFi scanner or the other security tools.<br>You must explicitly approve Android&#39;s system VPN permission before CGuard can start a VPN connection.<br><br>By installing CGuard, you agree to the applicable terms and privacy policy.
