Main features:

* Does NOT require root privilege
* Connection management through a graphical interface
* Uses conventional tinc configuration files (extended with support for encrypted private keys and VPN bypass per Android application)
* Automatable using third party Android applications via Intents

Notes:

* This application is only a VPN client, which is not tied to any VPN service provider by default.
* It requires an existing tinc network to connect to.
