Age rating is set by App Store, not by Unstar. This page explains it and adds what parents report in reviews. Not affiliated with Privacy Technologies.
What AmneziaWG's age rating means
The App Store gives AmneziaWG an official 17+ rating, so the store considers it unsuitable for children. That usually reflects mature themes, chat with strangers, suggestive content, or gambling-style mechanics. For a child or younger teen, treat this as a clear caution.
What parents and users report about AmneziaWG

AmneziaWG for kids: frequently asked questions
Is AmneziaWG safe for kids?
AmneziaWG carries an official age rating of 17+ on the App Store, which means it is not designed for children. It is a real, listed app, but the store itself flags it for a mature audience. If a younger child wants it, the rating alone is a strong reason to say no or to supervise closely.
What age rating does AmneziaWG have?
The App Store rates AmneziaWG as 17+. This is the store's own content rating, set from the app's features and content, not our opinion. Use it as the starting point for whether it fits your child's age.
Can my child use AmneziaWG safely?
If you decide to allow it, use device parental controls: Screen Time and Content & Privacy Restrictions on iPhone, or Family Link and Play Store parental controls on Android. Turn on purchase approval, set age-appropriate content limits, and keep the account under your family group so you can see activity.
How do I block or remove AmneziaWG from my child's phone?
On iPhone, open Settings, Screen Time, Content & Privacy Restrictions, then restrict or delete the app and block reinstalling it. On Android, open Family Link, select your child, find AmneziaWG and block or uninstall it. You can also set a store age limit so apps above your child's age cannot be installed.
