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.
|
|
|
|
If you have root access, and a version of Android with iptables that
|
|
supports the netfilter owner module, then Orbot can setup transparent
|
|
proxying for any application.
|
|
|
|
Finally, Firefox on Android is available, and we have released an
|
|
add-on named ProxyMob for configuring SOCKS proxy settings for use
|
|
with the local Tor socks proxy.
|
|
|
|
** 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".
