Tor Browser for Android
Tor Browser for Android is the only official mobile browser supported and developed by the Tor Project.
It is like the desktop Tor Browser, but for your Android mobile device.
Some of the prime features of Tor Browser for Android include: reducing tracking across websites, defending against surveillance, resisting browser fingerprinting, and circumventing censorship.
DESCARGA E INSTALACIÓN
There exists Tor Browser for Android and Tor Browser for Android (alpha).
Non-technical users should get Tor Browser for Android, as this is stable and less prone to errors.
Tor Browser for Android is available on Play Store, F-droid and the Tor Project website.
It is very risky to download Tor Browser outside of these three platforms.
Google Play
You can install Tor Browser for Android from Google Play Store.
F-Droid
The Guardian Project provides Tor Browser for Android on their F-Droid repository.
If you would prefer installing the app from F-Droid, please follow these steps:
Install the F-Droid app on your Android device from the F-droid website.
After installing F-Droid, open the app.
At the lower-right-hand corner, open "Settings".
Under the "My Apps" section, open Repositories.
Toggle "Guardian Project Official Releases" as enabled.
Now F-Droid downloads the list of apps from the Guardian Project's repository (Note: this may take a few minutes).
Tap the Back button at the upper-left-hand corner.
Open "Latest" at the lower-left-hand corner.
Open the search screen by tapping the magnifying glass at the lower-right side.
Search for "Tor Browser for Android".
Open the query result by "The Tor Project" and install.
The Tor Project website
You can also get Tor Browser for Android by downloading and installing the apk from the Tor Project website.
RUNNING TOR BROWSER FOR ANDROID FOR THE FIRST TIME
When you run Tor Browser for the first time, you will see the option to connect directly to the Tor network, or to configure Tor Browser for your connection with the settings icon.
Conectar
En la mayoría de los casos escoger "Conectar" te permitirá conectar a la red Tor sin ninguna configuración adicional.
Once clicked, changing sentences will appear at the bottom of the screen, indicating Tor’s connection progress.
If you are on a relatively fast connection, but this text seems to get stuck at a certain point, see the Troubleshooting page for help solving the problem.
Configurar
Si sabés que tu conexión está censurada, deberías seleccionar el icono de configuración.
El Navegador Tor te llevará a través de una serie de opciones de configuración.
La primera pantalla, pregunta si el acceso a la red Tor está bloqueado o censurado en tu conexión.
Si sabes que tu conexión está censurada, o has intentado conectar a la red Tor y no han funcionado otras soluciones, haz click en la casilla.
You will then be taken to the Circumvention screen to configure a pluggable transport.
Evasión
Los repetidores puente son repetidores Tor que no están listados en el directorio público de Tor.
Los puentes son útiles para los usuarios de Tor que se conectan en sitios bajo regímenes opresivos, y para la gente que quiere una capa extra de seguridad porque les preocupa que alguien reconozca que están contactando con una dirección IP pública de Tor.
Para usar un transporte conectable, haz clic en el icono 'Configurar' cuando inicies Tor Browser por primera vez.
The first screen asks if access to the Tor network is censored on your connection. Click on the switch to toggle it.
The next screen provides the option to either use a built-in bridge or custom bridge.
With the "Select a bridge" option, you will have two options: "obfs4" and "meek-azure".
If you choose the "Provide a Bridge I know" option, then you have to enter a bridge address.
GESTIONAR IDENTIDADES
Nueva Identidad
When Tor Browser is running, you would see so in your phone's notification panel along with the button "NEW IDENTITY".
Clicking on this button will provide you with a new identity.
Unlike in Tor Browser for Desktop, the "NEW IDENTITY" button in Tor Browser for Android does not prevent your subsequent browser activity from being linkable to what you were doing before.
Selecting it will only change your Tor circuit.
Configuración de seguridad
Security settings disable certain web features that can be used to attack your security and anonymity.
Tor Browser for Android provides the same three security levels that are available on desktop.
You can modify the security level by following given steps:
- Tap on a button of 3 vertical dots in URL bar.
- Scroll down and tap on "Security Settings".
- You can now select an option from the security level slider.

More about Tor on mobile devices
Orfox
Orfox was first released in 2015 by The Guardian Project, with the aim of giving Android users a way to browse the internet over Tor.
Over the next three years, Orfox continously improved and became a popular way for people to browse the internet with more privacy
than standard browsers, and Orfox was crucial for helping people circumvent censorship and access blocked sites and critical resources.
In 2019, Orfox was sunsetted after the official Tor Browser for
Android was released.
Orbot
Orbot is a free proxy app that empowers other apps to use the Tor network.
Orbot uses Tor to encrypt your Internet traffic. Then you can use it with other apps installed on your mobile device to
circumvent censorship and protect against surveillance.
Orbot can be downloaded and installed from Google Play.
Check out our Support portal to know if you need both Tor Browser for Android and Orbot or either one.
Tor Browser for iOS
There is no Tor Browser for iOS.
Recomendamos una aplicación para iOS llamada Onion Browser, de código abierto, que usa enrutamiento Tor y está desarrollada por alguien que trabaja estrechamente con 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
Actualmente no existe un método soportado para ejecutar Tor en Windows Phone.
