Running Tor Browser Android for the first time

Choose Display Language

When you launch Tor Browser for Android the display language is set to the default language of your system. Tor Browser is available in multiple languages.

To choose your display language:

• Tap on 'Settings' (⚙️).
• Tap on 'Language'.
• Select your desired display language.

Connect

Cuando ejecutas el Navegador Tor por primera vez, verás la opción de conectarse directamente a la red Tor, o configurar el Navegador Tor para tu conexión.

• Toggle on "Always connect automatically" to allow Tor Browser connect to the Tor network automatically with the previously saved connection settings, everytime the browser is launched.
• Tap on "Connect" to initiate a connection to the Tor network.
• A progress bar will appear indicating the connection progress.

Connection Assist

If your connection is censored and the direct connection to the Tor network fails, Connection Assist might help. Connection Assist is a feature in Tor Browser for Android that when required will offer to automatically apply the censorship circumvention method which works best in your location.

• Tap on 'Try a bridge'.
• If Connection Assist is unable to determine your location you can select your region from the dropdown options and then tap on 'Try a bridge'.

Configure to circumvent censorship

If you are in a region subject to heavy internet censorship and Connection Assist fails to initiate the connection to the Tor network, you will have to follow some additional steps to configure Tor Browser for Android. When direct access to the Tor network is blocked, Tor can be used with circumvention tools, known as "pluggable transports", for getting around these blocks. obfs4, Snowflake and meek-azure are some pluggable transports available to use with Tor Browser for Android.

• Tap on "Configure Connection" or tap on 'Settings' (⚙️), scroll down to the "Connection" section and tap on "Config Bridge".
• Toggle on "Use a Bridge".
• Choose between obfs4, meek-azure and snowflake.

If you have obtained bridge addresses from the Tor Project bridges website, via Email or via Telegram:

• Tap on "Provide a Bridge I know".
• Paste the bridge addresses in the input prompt.

More about Tor on mobile devices

Orfox

Orfox fue lanzado en 2015 por The Guardian Project, con la intención de dar a los usuarios de Android una forma de navegar el internet con Tor. Durante los siguientes tres años, Orfox mejoró continuamente y se convirtió en una forma popular para que las personas naveguen por Internet con más privacidad que los navegadores estándar, y Orfox fue crucial para ayudar a las personas a eludir la censura y acceder a sitios bloqueados y recursos críticos. Orfox desapareció en 2019 al lanzarse el Navegador Tor oficial para Android.

Orbot

Orbot es una aplicación de proxy libre que empodera a otras aplicaciones a usar la red Tor. Orbot usa Tor para cifrar tu tráfico de Internet. Luego, puedes usarlo con otras aplicaciones instaladas en tu dispositivo móvil para eludir la censura y protegerse contra la vigilancia. Orbot puede ser descargado e instalado desde Google Play. Mira en nuestro Portal de soporte para saber si necesitas el Navegador Tor para Android y Orbot o uno de los dos.

Tor Browser for iOS

No hay Navegador Tor para iOS. 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. Sin embargo, Apple requiere que los navegadores en iOS usen algo llamado Webkit, que evita que el navegador Onion tenga las mismas protecciones de privacidad que el Navegador 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.
