Orbot
Orbot is a free proxy app that empowers other apps to use the internet more securely. Orbot uses Tor to encrypt your Internet traffic and then hides it by bouncing through a series of computers around the world. 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.

Proxy Settings
If the Android app you are using can support the use of an HTTP or SOCKS proxy, then you can configure it to connect to Orbot and use Tor.\n\n\n The host settings is 127.0.0.1 or \"localhost\". For HTTP, the port setting is 8118. For SOCKS, the proxy is 9050. You should use SOCKS4A or SOCKS5 if possible.\n \n\n\n You can learn more about proxying on Android via the FAQ at: http://tinyurl.com/proxyandroid\n
Orbot is ready!
Millions of people around the world use Tor for a wide variety of reasons.\n\nJournalists and bloggers, human rights defenders, law enforcement officers, soldiers, corporations, citizens of repressive regimes, and just ordinary citizens… and now you are ready to, as well!
Please configure Orbot before you can start using it!
You\'ve successfully connected to the Tor network - but this does NOT mean your device is secure. You can use the \'Browser\' button to test your connection. \n\nVisit us at https://guardianproject.info/apps/orbot or send an email to help@guardianproject.info to learn more.
