Orfox
Eisíodh Orfox den chéad uair in 2015 ag The Guardian Project, agus é mar aidhm aige bealach a thabhairt d’úsáideoirí Android brabhsáil ar an idirlíon thar Tor.
Sna trí bliana amach romhainn, d'fheabhsaigh Orfox go leanúnach agus tháinig sé chun bheith ina bhealach coitianta do dhaoine brabhsáil ar an idirlíon le níos mó príobháideachta ná brabhsálaithe caighdeánacha, agus bhí Orfox ríthábhachtach chun cabhrú le daoine dul timpeall ar chinsireacht agus rochtain a fháil ar shuíomhanna bactha agus acmhainní ríthábhachtacha.
In 2019, cuireadh Orfox faoi na gréine tar éis don Brabhsálaí oifigiúil Tor do Android a bheith eisithe.
Orbot
Is seachfhreastalaí saor in aisce é Orbot a chuireann ar chumas aipeanna eile líonra Tor a úsáid.
Úsáideann Orbot Tor chun do thrácht Idirlín a chriptiú.
Ansin is féidir leat é a úsáid le haipeanna eile atá suiteáilte ar do ghléas soghluaiste chun dul timpeall ar chinsireacht agus chun cosaint a dhéanamh ar fhaireachas.
Is féidir Orbot a íoslódáil agus a shuiteáil ó Google Play.
Féach ar ár dtairseach Tacaíochta chun a fháil amach an bhfuil Brabhsálaí Tor le haghaidh Android agus Orbot nó ceachtar acu ag teastáil uait.
Tor Browser for iOS
Níl aon Brabhsálaí Tor ann do 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.
Éilíonn Apple go n-úsáidfidh gach brabhsálaí ar iOS an t-inneall Webkit, agus dá bharr sin níl Onion Browser chomh héifeachtach le Brabhsálaí Tor ó thaobh príobháideachais.
Foghlaim tuilleadh faoi Brabhsálaí Oinniún.
Íoslódáil Brabhsálaí Oinniún ón App Store.
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.
