★ IT’S OFFICIAL: This is the official version of the Tor onion routing service for Android. ★ PRIVACY MADE EASY: Check out our fun, interactive walkthrough: ★ PRIVACY FOR EVERYONE: Tor can help you confidentially research a competitor, get around someone blocking your favorite site, or circumvent a firewall to watch sports at work. ★ PRIVACY FOR APPS: Any installed app can use Tor through Orbot's built-in VPN ★ PRIVATE WEB SURFING: Use with Orfox, the most anonymous way to access any website, even if it’s normally blocked, monitored, or on the hidden web. This process takes a little longer, but the strongest privacy and identity protection available is worth the wait. Orbot bounces your encrypted traffic several times through computers around the world, instead of connecting you directly like VPNs and proxies. ★ ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES: Orbot is the safest way to use the Internet on Android. As the New York Times writes, “when a communication arrives from Tor, you can never know where or whom it’s from.” Tor won the 2012 Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Pioneer Award. Orbot is the only app that creates a truly private internet connection. You can also try to change Orbot's "Tor SOCKS" setting under the Debug section to 9051 or AUTO. On some devices, aSamsung app is listening on the same network port that Orbot needs. The last release with KitKat and older support is: *** *** Android 4.0 and lower, you can download older versions from or through the open app store at. Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis. Orbot uses Tor to encrypt your Internet traffic and then hides it by bouncing through a series of computers around the world.

The full changelog since Tor Browser 11.5.Orbot is a free proxy app that empowers other apps to use the internet more securely. With Tor Browser for Android, you are free to access sites your local internet service provider may have blocked. Watch this animation to learn more about how it works: The network is comprised of thousands of volunteer-run servers known as Tor relays. When you use Tor Browser for Android, your traffic is relayed and encrypted three times as it passes over the Tor network. Tor aims to make all users look the same, making it difficult for you to be fingerprinted based on your browser and device information. All anyone monitoring your browsing habits can see is that you're using Tor. Tor Browser prevents someone watching your connection from knowing what websites you visit. Any cookies automatically clear when you're done browsing. Tor Browser isolates each website you visit so third-party trackers and ads can't follow you. We plan on fixing it for the next release. Known issue: Our Security Slider is now under 'Security Settings,' but because of a small issue, it's only showing up after you restart the app.
