ORBOT: ANONYMITY THROUGH TOR ON YOUR ANDROID DEVICE On 18:53 By , , , It is the official version of the tor onion routing service. 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.
Orbot uses Tor to encrypt your Internet traffic and then hides it by bouncing through a series of computers around the world.
The best part is 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.Can be used for proxy to break the restriction put around by the service provider.We can say that it is one of the safest way to access the net today.

After installing you have to configure the Orbot and Tor on your device. Cause simple installing will not automatically anonymize our mobile data.
Now, to enable advance options like Transparent proxying you need to have a rooted device. If you provide root access to Orbot you can configure the installed Apps to work with it.
Now, to enable advance options like Transparent proxying you need to have a rooted device. If you provide root access to Orbot you can configure the installed Apps to work with it.
However, if you do not have a rooted device or in case you did not provide it ‘Superuser’ access. In order to benefit from Tor, you will need to use Apps built to work with Orbot, or that supports HTTP or SOCKS proxy settings. SO, in this case you can either download ‘Orweb’ a browser made to work with Tor. Or you can download the add-on of firefox to make it work with Tor.
Orweb as in our opinion is just a basic browser and might not seems appealing enough in front of chrome or Firefox. So our recommendation is use the Firefox add-on to access net through Tor. But in this case too, remember to disable the proxy when not using Tor.
You can download Orbot from Google Play Store link.
