~120mb more.

The app overall itself needs 140mb+ in addition. A  
Less if you disable_logs_ (turn off _Configure_ → _Settings_ → _Enable on-device logging_) entirely.

In the upcoming version, `v055o` (due in a few weeks, but I’ve been saying that for months… [as a forum member here notes](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/outdated-privacy-resources/26126/8)) we’ve tried to optimize for RAM usage wrt on-device blocklists (instead of reading the entire blocklists in, we only selectively read what’s needed), some more. Let’s see.

We were nerd sniped by Daniel Micay in to implementing a client-side multi-hop. It works nicely, dare I say, in our testing. And so, wrt hopping specifically, in the upcoming version, `v055o`, you’d be able to hop any WireGuard over any other WireGuard (for instance, hop Proton over Amnezia, like I do).
