New in version 0.1-019
Updated core library to 0.5.9, presenting these changes:
Changed
The routing algorithm has been updated with RTT-aware link costing, which should prefer lower latency links over higher latency links where possible
The calculated cost is an average of the link RTT, but newly established links are costed higher to begin with, such that unstable peerings can be avoided
Link costs are only used where multiple next-hops are available and will be ignored if there is only one loop-free path to the des
Yggdrasil is an early-stage implementation of a fully end-to-end encrypted IPv6 network.
It is lightweight, self-arranging, supported on multiple platforms and allows pretty much any IPv6-capable application to communicate securely with other Yggdrasil nodes.
Yggdrasil does not require you to have IPv6 Internet connectivity - it also works over IPv4.
This app allows you to connect to Yggdrasil Network and use any service located in this network. It works as VPN service, but all your usual traffic will go trough your provider, not through Yggdrasil Network.
Also, it is not a goal of the Yggdrasil project to provide anonymity. Direct peers over the Internet will be able to see your IP address and may be able to use this information to determine your location or identity. Multicast-discovered peerings on the same network will typically expose your device MAC address. Other nodes on the network may be able to discern some information about which nodes you are peered with.
All traffic sent across the Yggdrasil network is encrypted end-to-end. Assuming that our crypto is solid, it cannot be decrypted or read by any intermediate nodes, and can only be decrypted by the recipient for which it was intended. However, please note that Yggdrasil has not been officially externally audited.
Versions
Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.

This version requires Android 5.0 or newer.
It is built by F-Droid and guaranteed to correspond to this source tarball.
Permissions
-
view network connections
Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected.
-
allow Wi-Fi Multicast reception
Allows the app to receive packets sent to all devices on a Wi-Fi network using multicast addresses, not just your phone. It uses more power than the non-multicast mode.
-
run foreground service
Allows the app to make use of foreground services.
-
run foreground service with the type "systemExempted"
Allows the app to make use of foreground services with the type "systemExempted"
-
have full network access
Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet.
-
show notifications
Allows the app to show notifications
-
run at startup
Allows the app to have itself started as soon as the system has finished booting. This can make it take longer to start the phone and allow the app to slow down the overall phone by always running.
