Orbot: Android Onion Routing Robot
|
||
|
|
***********************************************
|
||
|
|
This is a freely licensed open-source application developed for the
|
||
|
|
Android platform, that acts as a front-end to the Tor binary application.
|
||
|
|
Orbot also provides an HTTP Proxy for connecting web browsers and other
|
||
|
|
HTTP client applications into the Tor SOCKS interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** PreReqs ***
|
||
|
|
You need the Android Developer SDK to compile and build the APK file: http://developer.android.com/
|
||
|
|
The project files including in this distribution are meant to be used with Eclipse: http://eclipse.org/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** How to use ***
|
||
|
|
Currently, Orbot will work with any application that supports using an HTTP or SOCKS Proxy.
|
||
|
|
Once you start Tor using Orbot, you can then point your application to HTTP port 8118 or SOCKS port 9050
|
||
|
|
on localhost IP 127.0.0.1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also set the Android system-wide HTTP proxy using the Mobile Network APN:
|
||
|
|
Settings->Mobile networks->Access Point Names->(select your Carrier APN):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Proxy: 127.0.0.1
|
||
|
|
Port:8118
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
** A Few Notes **
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To ensure you are connected to the Tor network, you should browse to https://check.torproject.org
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first time you activate Orbot, it may take a while to connect to Tor. Check the message log to
|
||
|
|
ensure you are "100% Bootstrapped".
