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.

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.

More about Tor on mobile devices

Orfox

O Orfox foi lançado pela primeira vez em 2015 pelo The Guardian Project, com o objetivo de dar aos utilizadores do Android uma forma de navegar na Internet através do Tor. Nos três anos seguintes, a Orfox melhorou continuamente e tornou-se uma forma popular das pessoas navegarem na Internet com mais privacidade do que os browsers normais, e a Orfox foi crucial para ajudar as pessoas a contornar a censura e a aceder a sítios bloqueados e a recursos críticos. Em 2019, o Orfox foi descontinuado após o lançamento do Tor Browser oficial para Android.

Orbot

O Orbot é uma aplicação proxy gratuita que permite que outras aplicações utilizem a rede Tor. O Orbot utiliza o Tor para encriptar o seu tráfego na Internet. Depois, pode utilizá-lo com outras aplicações instaladas no seu dispositivo móvel para contornar a censura e proteger-se contra a vigilância. O Orbot pode ser descarregado e instalado a partir do Google Play. Confira o nosso Portal de Apoio para saber se você precisa do Tor Browser para Android e do Orbot ou qualquer um deles.

Tor Browser for iOS

Não existe um Tor Browser 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. Contudo, a Apple exige que os browsers no iOS usem algo chamado de Webkit, que impede que o Onion Browser tenha as mesmas proteções de privacidade que o 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.
