Description
Orbot is the original free and open-source Tor-powered VPN for iOS and macOS. Orbot helps you access the internet with more safety and privacy, and no extra cost to you.
FEATURES:
- Browse the internet over Tor.
- Secure your traffic from insecure wireless networks and ISPs.
- Access .onion sites that are only accessible over Tor.
DISCLAIMERS:
- Web browsing is much slower than through a normal VPN because your traffic is encrypted and relayed through the Tor network.
- Orbot might not work on networks with advanced network restrictions. If the app does not connect, try using bridges (or a different type of bridge).
- Use of Orbot is at your own risk; remember that sensitive data does not always belong on a mobile device.
** Orbot is free and open-source software. You can read more about Orbot and how to support development of Tor on iOS by visiting orbot.app **
What’s New
Version 1.6.3
- Updated Tor to latest 0.4.8.4.
- Added patch to Tor which improves memory consumption with a warm cache on startup.
- Restarts should now be much faster again if the cache contains valid data.
Ratings and Reviews
Popup Detection Broken
Love the tool, especially the content blocker, however after the last update the popup-detection has stopped functioning.
To replicate, block popups from all domains and then, go to a website with popups
Is it possible to get a fix?
read before downloading ❗️⚠️
This is a great app but their are few issues, to start off with basically their is this thing where u can’t, after that u have to do that then it will do the thing we have been aiming for. The VPN works fine and I like how goofy the bridge is, what I really like about that app is the bridge, it’s like a real life bridge and you can break that bridge and make a new one, then their is quandake dingle the second, that’s the main issue. I really want the team to work on the program to fix the quandak which will better increase the generator thus helping out. By far the best VPN but could use more quixndu if yk what I mean. As a developer my self this has really doddaled me majorly for not complying with term, also a thing to point out is that the color is act light purple not actually purple. Also i notice people breathing while talking and it ruined my life but I got over it. Thanks for this amazing VPN which really helped me do illegal things safely. graciaz
Content Blocking in TOR?
I’ve got one question about my using Orbot and my security. When using it it doesn’t block ADS in apps on IOS. Does my seeing ads in the first place put me in any risk of being seen by trackers? I’ve heard of viruses being able to be hidden in a single pixel of an image. So maybe it’s possible that the very next image you see in a ad could contain a virus or tracker. Just what protection does Orbot give us in these types of scenarios? Plus I’m of the opinion that the very least amount of traffic the better. Can Orbot and TOR itself be configured to block ads globally like AdGuard does? Wouldn’t mind it if TOR itself had its very own Ad blocker built in. That way it could make TOR itself faster as it could lessen traffic congestion on the entire network. It would be like letting regular traffic flow through the interstate but on the same time not letting billboard trucks on or off.
