Orbot: Android Onion Routing Robot
***********************************************
Android is a freely licensed open-source application developed for the
Android platform. It acts as a front-end to the Tor binary application,
and 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".
