15) Tor is available for Android by installing our package named Orbot.
16) </p>
17) <p>
18) Orbot is an application that allows mobile phone users to access the web,
19) instant messaging and email without being monitored or blocked by their mobile
20) internet service provider. Orbot brings the features and functionality of Tor
21) to the Android mobile operating system.
22) </p>
23) <p>
24) Orbot contains Tor, libevent and privoxy. Orbot provides a local HTTP proxy
25) and the standard SOCKS4A/SOCKS5 proxy interfaces into the Tor network. Orbot
26) has the ability to transparently torify all of the TCP traffic on your Android
27) device when it has the correct permissions.

73) Orbot offers three interfaces into the Tor network:
74) <ul>
75) <li>SOCKS 4A/5 proxy 127.0.0.1:9050</li>
76) <li>HTTP proxy 127.0.0.1:8118 </li>
77) <li>Transparent proxying (on select devices)</li>

85) For standard Android 1.x devices (G1, MyTouch3G, Hero, Droid Eris, Cliq, Moment):
86) <ul>
87) <li>The “ProxySurf” browser available in the Android Market allows for use

88)     of a proxy. Simply set the HTTP Proxy to '127.0.0.1' and port '8118'.</li>
89) <li>For Instant Messsaging, try “Beem” in the market, and set the Proxy to SOCKS5 '127.0.0.1' and port '9050'.</li>

90) </ul>
91) </p>
92) <p>
93) For Android 2.x devices: Droid, Nexus One
94) <ul>

95) <li>You must root your device for Orbot to transparently proxy all TCP traffic.</li>

96) <li>For non-modified and non-rooted phones, you'll want to manually configure

97)     your specific applications.</li>

98) <li>If you root your device, whether it is 1.x or 2.x based, Orbot will
99)     automatically, transparently proxy all web traffic on port 80 and 443
100)     and all DNS requests. This includes the built-in Browser, Gmail, YouTube,

101)     Maps and any other application that uses standard web traffic.</li>
