About

An OpenWrt-style router system for Android

Android devices already have a cellular modem, Wi-Fi, USB and a capable CPU. AndroidWrt gives them a second job: a real router, managed the way OpenWrt users know.

The project

AndroidWrt runs as rebornd, a single daemon with the web panel built in. It configures the firewall and routing, runs the proxy and DNS cores, and keeps the device in the state its configuration describes. The panel follows LuCI's menus and terms, so the concepts carry over from OpenWrt.

Root is a means, not the goal. On a rooted device AndroidWrt is a fully transparent gateway; without root it is meant to remain useful through Android's VPN service. The long-term aim is that any Android device or CPE, rooted or not, can become a router.

AndroidWrt Lite, an app for rooted stock Android, comes first. A full edition built into a custom ROM is planned.
