About this app

Developer Description

Enhance your privacy and break through firewalls.

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.

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 safest way to use the Internet on Android. Period. Orbot bounces your encrypted traffic several times through computers around the world, instead of connecting you directly like other 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 app can be routed over Tor via the Orbot VPN feature
★ 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.

The Orbot app is a good app for privacy. I used to have a problem with it randomly not fully connecting correctly. However I found removing the padding that saves on mobile data and battery turning those off in this app and mobile data limit and mobile data limit warning in the phone settings fixed it. I turn on extra padding for security. The settings in this app can be a bit confusing at first and it also takes a bit to connect fully but once it does its fine. overall 8/10

It works only in VPN mode on Moto Edge 50 NEO. The always on VPN is disconnecting after a while on the mobile data and also on WiFi. The update from 2.12.2025 is installed.

You ruined the app. You don't need to release an update when it isn't necessary. It used to work fine. Now it just hangs and crashes without connecting. Fix it plz.

I have been using it with no problems! I feel I should edit my last rating. But it's not connecting to TOR now! I ask how to connect and it tells me so I do it and it just goes to home screen and without any connection! What's the problem with it? Please respond? I changed my rating from a 1 to a 5. I forgot I left such a bad rating! I do apologize. It has worked fine up till recently! Please respond? IT WON'T TURN ON! IT KEEPS CRASHING! 😡
