Haven't heard Orbot mentioned in ages, people use Tor browser now https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.torbrowser_alpha
Though oddly, it's missing from F-Droid for me
Yeah i know of tor browser but that's just it a browser it can't pass all traffic through tor . And the browser and orbot was removed from fdroid recently due to having proprietary blobs but they are working on a fix which will hopefull soon get them back untill then if you really want to use those add guardian projects official repo into your fdroid client .
Oh shit, what were the proprietary blobs for? Got a link where I can read up about it by any chance?
I read it from artictles of fdroid and guardian can't find them atm but if anyone got it do post it here
What ? I just told the guy who asked the same thing I think you commented on the wrong comment .
You have to enable the guardian project repo.
i use orbot for a couple of apps.
Tor browser cannot replace orbot
I use it, but I don't use it in VPN mode for my entire device. I use it in proxy mode so that things that are specifically looking for tour on local host, 1950 will connect through it and it seems to work fine for that purpose. I use it for f-droid and SimpleX
I've read this on https://invizible.net
This product is produced independently from the Tor®, DNSCrypt, Purple I2P software and carries no guarantee from The Above Projects about quality, suitability or anything else.
why would i use this app "that carries no guarantee" instead of those original projects?
