I'll wait for the support of 5G since the Pixel 5 and 4a 5G are not currently supported as below

Also, based on the below, 5G is not supported in my country with the Pixel 5 or 4a 5G. It may or may not work in my country. Need to confirm on this later.

Understand 5G compatibility & roaming on Pixel phones - Pixel Phone Help

5G mobile networks let you use more bandwidth than 4G. With more bandwidth, you can get faster speeds. To confirm that you have a phone and carrier that supports 5G, you’ll need to buy a data plan an
support.google.com

BTW, can I know whether GrapheneOS supports the use of more than one VPN at the same time. Android can only run one VPN at any one time. Is Adguard for android supported?

5G is primary for companies, industries and connected cars.
For us end user 4G aka LTE is more than enough.

I don't use AdGuard, but I don't see why it shouldn't be compatible.
Why do you need more than one VPN at a time?

5G is now. Some countries are doing away 3G with the coming of 5G. It's not a matter of why not for Adguard but whether Adguard is supported on GrapheneOS or not.

Like a dedicated VPN, firewall, privacy software etc use a local VPN. Android only supports running one VPN at only one time.

So are you using the GrapheneOS? Can confirm the support of more than one VPN?

Doesn't matter. 3G does not "go away", it is used for 4G so you have one less fallback.

if AdGuard doesn't required Google (Play) Services, it works.
GrapheneOS doesn't add any app compatibility. That is part of app developer's.

That's not fully true. With e.g. NetGuard you can use it beside a normal VPN but need SOCKS5 proxy support.

Yes, i use GrapheneOS since Android 10.

Quote from the GrapheneOS FAQ

What kind of VPN and Tor support is available?​

VPNs can be configured under Settings ➔ Network & Internet ➔ Advanced ➔ VPN. Support for the following protocols is included: PPTP (insecure, obsolete), L2TP/IPSec PSK, L2TP/IPSec RSA, IPSec Xauth PSK, IPSec Xauth RSA and IPSec Hybrid RSA. Apps can also provide userspace VPN implementations and the following open source apps are recommended: Orbot (Tor), WireGuard, OpenVPN for Android and the Private Internet Access client (OpenVPN).

VPN configurations created with the built-in support can be set as the always-on VPN in the configuration panel. This will keep the VPN running, reconnecting as necessary and will force all connections through them. An app providing a VPN service can also be set as the always-on VPN via the entry in the Settings page. For app-based VPN implementations, there's also an additional "Block connections without VPN" toggle which is needed to prevent leaks when the app's VPN service isn't running.

Unquote

Since you are using it.......

My english is not good. Can you tell me whether 2 or more VPNs can run simultaneously? Any issue say if I want to run BlackFog Privacy (which requires a local VPN) and a dedicated VPN at the same time ? Or say use Blokada with a dedicated VPN?

An experimental version of our web-based installer for GrapheneOS is now available: GrapheneOS web install This can be used from browsers with WebUSB support. Most Chromium-based browsers are supported including Chrome, Edge and Brave. No need to run any additional software.
Click to expand...


GrapheneOS install documentation is an index page linking to both the command-line installation guide and the new web-based installer. It explains the advantage of the command-line approach on an OS providing proper fastboot and signify packages. For most users, WebUSB makes more sense.
Click to expand...
This is being developed as an open source project under the MIT license. The bulk of it is being published as a generic fastboot.js library intended to be directly reusable by other projects: kdrag0n/fastboot.js The rest is part of the GrapheneOS/grapheneos.org repository.

I would say this is the first Android ROM every which provide such a easy installation way. (y)
