Orbot: Tor for Android

Orbot is a free proxy application that allows other applications to use the Internet more securely. orbot uses Tor to encrypt your Internet traffic and then hides it by bouncing it between a series of computers around the world. tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against threats to personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against forms of network surveillance that threaten personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and national security known as traffic analysis. Orbot is the only application that can create a truly private Internet connection. As the New York Times wrote, "When a communication from Tor arrives, you never know where or from whom it came." Tor received the 2012 Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Pioneer Award. ★ No substitution accepted: Orbot is the most secure way to use the Internet on Android. Time. Orbot bounces your encrypted traffic multiple times through computers around the world, rather than connecting you directly, as VPNs and proxies do. The process takes longer, but the strongest privacy and identity protection is worth the wait. Users can use Tor to access an overlay network of 7,000+ relays, provided free of charge by volunteers worldwide, for the purpose of hiding users' real addresses and avoiding network surveillance and traffic analysis. tor users' Internet activities (including browsing online sites, posts, and forms of communication such as instant messaging) are relatively difficult to track. tor was originally designed to protect users' personal privacy and the freedom to Tor is designed to protect users' personal privacy and the freedom and ability to communicate in secret, unmonitored ways. Tor does not prevent online sites from determining whether a user has accessed the site through Tor. While it protects the user's privacy, it does not disguise the fact that the user is using Tor. Some sites place restrictions on users who use Tor. Tor encrypts data, including the IP address of the next relay, multiple times and commits it through virtual circuits, including randomly selected Tor relays. Each relay decrypts one layer of encrypted data to know the next destination to which the data will be sent, and then sends the remaining encrypted data to it. The final relay decrypts the innermost layer of encrypted data and sends the original data to the destination address without revealing or knowing the source IP address.
