Tor is available for Android by installing our package named Orbot.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Orbot is an application that allows mobile phone users to access the web,
|
|
instant messaging and email without being monitored or blocked by their mobile
|
|
internet service provider. Orbot brings the features and functionality of Tor
|
|
to the Android mobile operating system.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Orbot contains Tor and libevent. Orbot provides a local HTTP proxy
|
|
and the standard SOCKS4A/SOCKS5 proxy interfaces into the Tor network. Orbot
|
|
has the ability to transparently torify all of the TCP traffic on your Android
|
|
device when it has the correct permissions and system libraries.

Orbot offers three interfaces into the Tor network:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>SOCKS 4A/5 proxy 127.0.0.1:9050</li>
|
|
<li>HTTP proxy 127.0.0.1:8118 </li>
|
|
<li>Transparent proxying (on select devices)</li>
|
|
</ul>

|
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#Notes">Platform specific notes</a></h2>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For standard Android 1.x devices:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The Orweb browser available in the Android Market integrates directly with Orbot, and offers a number of other privacy-oriented features.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>For Instant Messsaging, try <a href="https://guardianproject.info/apps/gibber">Gibberbot</a>, which includes support for connecting via Tor and Off-the-Record encryption.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For Android 2.x devices:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>You must root your device and update the firmware to an iptables-capable ROM for Orbot to transparently proxy all TCP traffic.</li>
|
|
<li>For non-modified and non-rooted phones, you'll want to manually configure HTTP or SOCKS proxy settings for specific applications.</li>
|
|
<li>If you root your device and install an iptables-capable ROM (such as <a href="http://www.cyanogenmod.com/">Cyanogen</a>), Orbot can transparently proxy traffic on an app-by-app basis through Tor.</li>
|
|
<li>You can also install Firefox for Android from the market with the <a href="https://guardianproject.info/apps/proxymob">Proxy Mobile Add-on</a> or install the text-only “NDBrowser” from the Android Market.
|
|
Both of these solutions all routing of web access through Tor on standard, un-rooted devices.</li>
|
|
<li>For Instant Messaging, try <a href="https://guardianproject.info/apps/gibber">Gibberbot</a>, which includes support for connecting via Tor and Off-the-Record encryption.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<a id="Source"></a>
|
|
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#Source">Source code access</a></h2>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All of the source code is available in the <a
|
|
href="https://gitweb.torproject.org/orbot.git">Orbot git
|
|
repository.</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that this might not always give you the latest stable Tor version.
|
|
Additionally, the Android web browser does not have Torbutton. This means that
|
|
while it may be useful for circumvention, it probably is unsuitable for strong
|
|
web browser anonymity requirements.
