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 a fost lansat pentru prima dată în 2015 de Guardian Project, cu scopul de a oferi utilizatorilor de Android o modalitate de a naviga pe internet prin Tor. În următorii trei ani, Orfox s-a îmbunătățit continuu și a devenit o modalitate populară pentru oameni de a naviga pe internet cu mai multă confidențialitate decât browserele standard, iar Orfox a fost crucial pentru a ajuta oamenii să evite cenzura și să acceseze site-uri blocate și resurse critice. În 2019, Orfox a fost oprit după ce a fost lansat Tor Browser oficial pentru Android.

Orbot

Orbot este o aplicație proxy gratuită care permite altor aplicații să utilizeze rețeaua Tor. Orbot folosește Tor pentru a cripta traficul de internet. Apoi îl puteți folosi cu alte aplicații instalate pe dispozitivul dvs. mobil pentru a evita cenzura și pentru a vă proteja împotriva supravegherii. Orbot poate fi descărcat și instalat de pe Google Play. Consultați portalul nostru de asistență pentru a afla dacă aveți nevoie de ambele aplicatii - Tor Browser pentru Android și Orbot, sau doar de una dintre ele.

Tor Browser for iOS

Nu există Tor Browser pentru 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. Cu toate acestea, Apple cere browserele de pe iOS să folosească ceva numit Webkit, care împiedică Onion Browser să aibă aceleași protecții de confidențialitate ca Tor Browser.

Aflați mai multe despre Onion Browser. Descărcați Onion Browser din 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.
