Tor Browser for Android

安卓版的 Tor 瀏覽器是唯一一套由 Tor Project官方所開發維護的行動版網路瀏覽器。 就跟電腦版的 Tor 瀏覽器相同，但是可以在安卓系統的行動運算裝置上執行。 安卓版的 Tor 瀏覽器包含幾個重要功能：減少跨站台追蹤、抵抗網路監控審查、阻擋瀏覽器特徵值擷取、突破網路過濾封鎖。

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'.

Connection Assist for Tor Browser Android

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

最初 Orfox 是在西元2015年時由 Guardian Project 所發布的軟體，其目的是要讓安卓系統的使用者能夠透過 Tor 來上網。 在接下來的三年裡，Orfox 不斷改進，成為人們瀏覽網路的一種流行方式，比標準瀏覽器具有更多隱私，Orfox 對於幫助人們規避審查和存取被封鎖的網站和關鍵資源至關重要。 在西元2019年時，隨著 Tor Project 釋出了安卓版的 Tor 瀏覽器後，Orfox 隨即成為了日落專案。

Orbot

Orbot是一個自由的代理伺服器軟體，其他應用程式可以借助此軟體連接上 Tor 網路。 Orbot使用 Tor 來對網路連線資料進行加密。 因此您可以利用此軟體來協助其他已經安裝在您的行動運算裝置上的應用程式，藉以突破網路審查的封鎖，並且對抗網路監控機制。 您可以從 Google Play下載安裝 Orbot 程式。 請前往我們的技術支援入口網以確認您是否會同時需要使用 Orbot 與 Tor 瀏覽器。

Tor Browser for iOS

Tor 瀏覽器不支援 iOS 系統。 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. 不過，Apple要求iOS上的瀏覽器必須使用Webkit，這會使Onion Browser無法達到與 Tor 瀏覽器相同等級的隱私保護。

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.
