Setting up Tor on Android
|
||||
*************************
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
Custom proxies are now only available in Firefox `Beta <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta&hl=en_US&gl=US>`_ or `Nightly <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.fenix&hl=en_US&gl=US>`_ due to a breaking change by the Firefox team.
|
||||
|
||||
First, install the Tor proxy service to your system. To do so, open the play store and download `Orbot <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.android>`_. Once you have done so, launch Orbot.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, open the kebab menu in the upper right hand corner and select `Settings`:

|
||||
:alt: Orbot menu
|
||||
|
||||
Then, make sure the options for `Start Orbot on Boot` and `Allow Background Starts` are checked:
|
||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||
:alt: Orbot settings
|
||||
|
||||
Go back, and tap start:
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/orbot_start.png
|
||||

|
||||
:alt: Orbot start
|
||||
|
||||
Orbot will start up the Tor service. Once complete, you will see:

||||

|
||||
|
||||
You can now close Orbot.
|
||||
|
||||
Setting up Orbot VPN mode
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Orbot's VPN mode allows certain applications to utilize it's Tor service.
|
||||
|
||||
This process also applies for GrapheneOS.
|
||||
|
||||
To setup, first disable Private DNS on your device. To do so, navigate to: :code:`Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced > Private DNS > Off`
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/private_dns_off.png
|
||||
:width: 80%
|
||||
:alt: Private DNS off
|
||||
|
||||
Toggle Private DNS to "off"
|
||||
|
||||
Next, launch Orbot and toggle VPN Mode on while on the main screen:

||||

||||

|
||||
:alt: Orbot vpn mode
|
||||
|
||||
Toggle VPN Mode to "on"
|
||||
|
||||
Under `Tor-Enabled Apps`, select the gear to add applications that need to be proxied through VPN mode to utilize Tor.
