Abstract tunnel ring with concentric paths and an umber arc on cool fog paper.
Tunnel-arc mark: flat ink rings with one umber hop for a local self-hosted vpn client install. Mist Latch original hop-pipe geometry for factory-vpn (not an Amnezia logo).

Open the AmneziaVPN release tag and pick the APK that matches your Android version band and ABI.

Steps

  1. Confirm the tag lists Android APKs.
  2. Download the matching AmneziaVPN_*_android*.apk.
  3. Sideload carefully after verifying the filename.
  4. Open AmneziaVPN and connect or import a config.

Notes

Mobile installs still need an honest server path. Treat APKs as supporting assets beside the desktop install doors.

Why this path matters

A local AmneziaVPN client keeps the tunnel on a server you control. GPL-3.0 builds give you named release assets and package doors you can document on a machine ticket. That is enough for travel laptops, student machines, and desks that need a self-hosted path after install.

Keep Softonic-style mirrors out of the loop. Prefer GitHub Releases filenames or the verified winget id. After every reimage, prove one short tunnel before you call the machine ready.

Home: /. Releases: /vpn-releases. Download safe: /vpn-download-safe. First hour: /installed. Guides hub: /guides.

Mist Latch publishes the install guide. Upstream remains at amnezia.org and amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client. When a tag drops an OS asset, re-check the live list before imaging a lab.

Family PCs and shared desks benefit from writing the update door beside the OS version. Windows exe, winget, macOS pkg, Linux .run, and Android APK are different doors. Mixing them without notes creates duplicate installs and confused uninstalls.

When someone pastes a random download link into chat, ask for the GitHub Releases URL instead. The install path on this guide always returns to amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client.
