More about Tor on mobile devices

Orfox

Orfox быў упершыню выпушчаны праектам The Guardian у 2015 годзе з мэтай даць магчымасць карыстальнікам Android праглядаць інтэрнэт праз Tor. Цягам наступных трох гадоў Orfox увесьчасна ўдасканальваўся і стаў папулярным спосабам прагляду інтэрнэту з большай канфідэнцыйнасцю, чым у стандартных браўзерах. Orfox граў важную ролю ў дапамозе людзям абыходзіць цэнзуру і атрымліваць доступ да заблакаваных сайтаў і важных рэсурсаў. У 2019 годзе Orfox быў закрыты пасля афіцыйнага запуску браўзера Tor для Android.

Orbot

Orbot - гэта бясплатнае проксі-прыкладанне, якое дазваляе іншым праграмам выкарыстоўваць сетку Tor. Orbot выкарыстоўвае Tor для шыфравання вашага інтэрнэт-трафіку. Гэтае прыкладанне можна выкарыстоўваць разам з іншымі прыкладаннямі, усталяванымі на вашай мабільнай прыладзе, каб абыходзіць цэнзуру і бараніцца ад сачэння. Orbot можна спампаваць і ўсталяваць з Google Play. Наведайце наш Партал падтрымкі, каб даведацца, ці патрэбны вам браўзер Tor для Android і Orbot або адзін з іх.

Tor Browser for iOS

Браўзер Tor для iOS не існуе. We recommend an iOS app called Onion Browser, which is open source, uses Tor routing, and is developed by someone who works closely with the Tor Project. Аднак Apple патрабуе, каб браўзеры на iOS выкарыстоўвалі пакет Webkit. Гэты варыянт не дазваляе браўзеру Onion забяспечваць настолькі ж высокую абарону канфідэнцыйнасці, як браўзер Tor.

Tor Browser for Windows Phone

There is currently no supported method for running Tor on older Windows Phones but in case of the newer Microsoft-branded/promoted phones, same steps on Tor Browser on Android can be followed.
