Competitors mentioned: Termux, opencode-manager, plain WireGuard with manual NAT traversal
Concerns raised: Security: domain name with key transmitted in clear via SNI, WireGuard UDP blocked on public/hotel WiFi (TCP 80/443 only), Requires static public IP or manual NAT traversal configuration, Plain WireGuard doesn't work without port exposure or public IP
Feature requests: Should be default option
