Wouldn't the spirit of librem here suggest the solution would just be to make and distribute an open VPN app on iOS and tell your librem one subscribers to install it and have an easy and secure method of downloading a file with your endpoints? Then there is no argument to be made that it's tied to a subscription because anyone could use it for their own or yours or anyone else's that supports it.
PIA (and others I'm sure)offers a zip of .ovpn files for their endpoints that Linux users can import to use with openVPN without using their app.
Obviously, this is a proposed solution to having the app on iOS, no dealing with Apple's access monopoly.
- brian_herman 6y agoYeah, the wireguard guys can maintain their app. Why can’t a company like librem?
- jojobas 6y agoThis way people get to choose whether to stick to a monopolistic eyecandy or get more control over their devices and life in general. I wish more developers could afford to do that.
- themacguffinman 6y agoPretty sure you can already download an ovpn config for Librem Tunnel [1], the only reason for Librem to develop its own iOS app would be to make it easier than a generic client by connecting directly to the paid service.
