Orbot: Tor for Android 17.3.2-RC-1-tor-0.4.8.12

Orbot is a free VPN and proxy app that enhances internet security for other apps. By utilizing Tor, it encrypts your internet traffic and conceals it by routing it through various computers worldwide. Tor, a free software and open network, defends against network surveillance known as traffic analysis, which threatens personal freedom, privacy, confidential business activities, relationships, and even state security.

• Traffic Privacy: Any app can benefit from encrypted traffic via the Tor network, ensuring the highest standards of security and privacy.
• Stop Snooping: Your app usage and timing remain unknown to outside observers, allowing undisrupted usage.
• No History: Your network operator and app servers do not log your traffic history or IP address centrally.

Orbot delivers an unparalleled private internet connection, as highlighted by The New York Times: "when a communication arrives from Tor, you can never know where or whom it's from." Moreover, Tor has been recognized with the 2012 Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Pioneer Award.

• ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES: Orbot is the official Tor VPN for Android. Unlike traditional VPNs and proxies that directly connect you, Orbot bounces your encrypted traffic through multiple computers around the world. Consequently, this process may take longer, but the enhanced privacy and identity protection it offers are well worth the wait.
• PRIVACY FOR APPS: Every installed app can utilize Tor with the Orbot VPN feature. If an app has a proxy feature, you can configure its settings using this link: https://goo.gl/2OA1y. Try Orbot with Twitter or conduct private web searches with DuckDuckGo: https://goo.gl/lgh1p.
• PRIVACY FOR EVERYONE: Orbot prevents those monitoring your network traffic from discerning which apps you are using or websites you are visiting. All they can identify is your utilization of Tor.

Guardian Project specializes in developing apps designed to safeguard your security and anonymity. The protocols we employ are widely regarded as state-of-the-art in security technology. However, while we continuously upgrade our software to combat new threats and eliminate bugs, no technology can claim to be 100% foolproof.
