About Orbot: Tor for Android APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Orbot is a free VPN and 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.★ Traffic Privacy
Encrypted traffic from any app, through the Tor network, gives you the highest standard of security and privacy.
★ Stop Snooping
No extra eyes know what apps you are using, and when, or can stop you from using them.
★ No History
No central logging of your traffic history or IP address by your network operator and app servers.
Orbot is the only app that creates a truly private internet connection. As the New York Times writes, “when a communication arrives from Tor, you can never know where or whom it’s from.”
Tor won the 2012 Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Pioneer Award.
★ ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES: Orbot is the official Tor VPN for Android. Orbot bounces your encrypted traffic several times through computers around the world, instead of connecting you directly like traditional VPNs and proxies. This process takes a little longer, but the strongest privacy and identity protection available is worth the wait.
★ PRIVACY FOR APPS: Any installed app can use Tor via the Orbot VPN feature, or if it has a proxy feature, using the settings found here: https://goo.gl/2OA1y Use Orbot with Twitter, or try private web searching with DuckDuckGo: https://goo.gl/lgh1p
★ PRIVACY FOR EVERYONE: Orbot prevents someone watching your connection from knowing what apps you are using or websites you visit. All anyone monitoring your network traffic can see is that you're using Tor.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew
5 ★Dear, tor team there is a problem with unstable android10 version of Asus Max pro M1 its putting load on google chrome and system froceful shutdown App or rebbot the device. given 5Star for your quilty of privcy and connectivity.
4 ★Easiest free VPN. Maybe not the best but good & simple. If you want something better you should get a pay service and run it through a separate device as a relay/hub (for home or office) so any device can be protected, but for on the go phone use I like this.
5 ★Works for a day or so then won't work at all constantly uninstalling and installing, edit to this review,,, I see it says its been fixed but it just keeps saying starting
5 ★So far the app works perfectly every time without freezing and it is faster than the pre-installed bloatware app that is not end to end encrypted! So how do I get gmail out of my phone, deactivated and have my privacy restored? It truly sucks waxed fruit to be the victim of identity theft but at least now there is some smidgeon of achieving that goal which by law is a right.
2 ★For some reason after getting latest Samsung update this no longer works.. doesn't start up or stay running.
5 ★A enable/disable widget would be a nice addition but the app is amazing as is. I love having some semblance of security online!! I recommend this to anyone who is on the internet and wants to be safe.
1 ★Its good and esensual and all. But there is a big probolem. After a while it shuts down and im cluless on how to fix it. I tryed to uninstall and install it again but that didnt work. Please try to fix this for us.
5 ★Yes it takes time. Extra time for rerouting the information you receive and send. If you want fast. You can not understand or appreciate anything . About primary care of your transmission... thanks torproject.
2 ★I keep getting messages saying: your system clock just jumped ___ (this many) seconds. I am also getting error messages like this: We tried for 15 seconds to connect to '[scrubbed]' using exit It seems like I keep being disconnected from Tor. Please Help.
4 ★I always used to clear data before connecting to VPN. Because when I connect to VPN without clearing data it takes more time then expected and sometimes it simply don't connect to VPN. That's why I always do Clear Data before connecting to VPN.
3 ★Works, but not all the time. It mainly takes 15-30 tries for it to actually connect and I cannot understand why it does that. But it does work as intended.
5 ★Always loved Tor..Great app does exactly what it says on the tin 👏. Bit slow connecting sometimes but thats not really an issue, its Free which is great... Big up the developers..
