Orbot: Tor for Android

Orbot is a free proxy and VPN application that allows other applications to surf the internet with enhanced security. By utilizing Tor, Orbot encrypts your internet traffic and anonymizes it by routing it through multiple computers across the globe. Tor functions as an open network and free software designed to shield you from network surveillance, which poses a threat to personal privacy, confidential business interactions, and overall state security, commonly referred to as traffic analysis.

★ TRAFFIC PRIVACY: By routing encrypted traffic from any app through the Tor network, you achieve the highest possible standard of privacy and security.

★ KEEP SNOOPERS AT BAY: No additional observers can see what apps you are using, when you're utilizing them, or prevent you from accessing them.

★ NO TRACKING: Your traffic history and IP address are not centrally logged by either your network provider or app servers.

As noted by the New York Times, Orbot is the only application that provides a genuinely private internet connection: “when a communication arrives from Tor, you can never know where or whom it’s from.” Tor was also honored with the 2012 Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Pioneer Award.

★ NO SUBSTITUTE: Orbot serves as the official Tor VPN for Android. Unlike typical VPNs and proxies, Orbot routes your encrypted traffic multiple times through a global network of computers instead of connecting you directly. This slightly extended process is worth the time invested, as it provides the most robust privacy and identity protection available.

★ APP PRIVACY: Any app installed on your device can harness Tor through the Orbot VPN feature, or, if it has proxy capabilities, by utilizing the settings outlined here: https://goo.gl/2OA1y. You can use Orbot with Twitter or engage in private browsing with DuckDuckGo: https://goo.gl/lgh1p.

★ ENHANCED PRIVACY FOR ALL: Orbot ensures that anyone observing your connection cannot determine what applications you are using or which websites you are visiting. All that's visible to any network traffic monitoring is that you're using Tor.
