							avoid misinterpretation of update requirements  
						
						... 
						
						
						
						The update requirements exist because we need to include device support
code for each supported device including firmware, drivers and HALs. It
was easiest to define the requirement as having proper overall updates,
but we can clarify that we only need it for the device support code even
though it's not going to be updated by itself without the OS also being
updated. This adds a bit of additional text, but it avoids the current
situation where several people are misrepresenting this requirement.

							stop recommending OpenVPN, Orbot and RethinkDNS  
						
						... 
						
						
						
						OpenVPN is legacy technology. It's overly complex and has far too much
attack surface. It's a huge pile of sketchy legacy code. WireGuard is
what people should be using now. We were only recommending this due to
lack of WireGuard adoption in the past.
Orbot is a horribly maintained app full of memory corruption bugs and
poorly written code. It's not a trustworthy or safe implementation of
Tor for Android. Tor Project is working on a proper replacement which
does not appear to be available yet. We could make something ourselves
if others are failing to provide what's needed.
RethinkDNS was added as a recommendation in order to have an option for
people who want local filtering and other features while using a VPN. We
cannot recommend it anymore. We overlooked technical and other issues
because we wanted to give people an option to use. The bar was simply
that it was better than NetGuard. It's still temporarily mentioned as
an option supporting that combination of features but will be replaced
in the documentation as soon as possible.
