This looks awesome
But, unfortunately for me, step 0 for Android is to install a new kernel. Whilst other people have already done the hard work to build kernels for my device (Pixel XL), it would create a significant maintenance headache for me to use one of them. I rely on the device manufacturer's security team to release updates to keep my device safe (particularly as I use mobile banking apps on it). But installing a custom kernel would create a large hole in that, and I can't dedicate sufficient time to reviewing the code patches and building the kernel myself. (Of course, better programmers could do that faster, so the trade-off would be easier.)
Do you happen to know whether WireGuard support will be in the mainline kernel in future?
