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

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.

• 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 è stato rilasciato per la prima volta nel 2015 da The Guardian Project, con l'obiettivo di dare agli utenti di Android un modo per navigare su internet attraverso Tor. Nei seguenti tre anni, Orfox è migliorato continuamente ed è diventato un metodo popolare per navigare su internet con maggiore privacy rispetto ai browser comuni, e Orfox è stato fondamentale per aiutare le persone ad aggirare la censura e ad accedere a siti bloccati e risorse critiche. Nel 2019, Orfox è stato ritirato dopo il rilascio ufficiale di Tor Browser per Android.

Orbot

Orbot è un'app proxy gratuita che consente ad altre app di utilizzare la rete Tor. Orbot utilizza Tor per crittografare il tuo traffico internet. Poi puoi usarlo anche assieme ad altre app installate sul tuo dispositivo mobile per aggirare la censura e proteggere dalla sorveglianza. Orbot può essere scaricato e installato da Google Play. Visitate il nostro portale di supporto per sapere se avete bisogno sia di Tor Browser per Android che di Orbot o di uno dei due.

Tor Browser for iOS

Non esiste Tor Browser per 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. Tuttavia, Apple richiede ai browser che girano su iOS di utilizzare una cosa chiamata Webkit, che impedisce a Onion Browser di avere le stesse protezioni per la privacy di Tor Browser.

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.
