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

88)     Orbot offers three interfaces into the Tor network:
89)     <ul>
90)     <li>SOCKS 4A/5 proxy 127.0.0.1:9050</li>
91)     <li>HTTP proxy 127.0.0.1:8118 </li>

100)     The current version of Orbot ships with the following components:
101)     <b><version-android-components></b>
102)     </p>

103)     <br>

104)     <p>
105)     For standard Android 1.x devices (G1, MyTouch3G, Hero, Droid Eris, Cliq, Moment):
106)     <ul>
107)     <li>The “ProxySurf” browser available in the Android Market allows for use
108)         of a proxy. Simply set the HTTP Proxy to '127.0.0.1' and port '8118'.
109)         <b>This only proxies some traffic and should not be considered secure.</b>
110)         </li>
111)     <li>For Instant Messsaging, try “Beem” in the market, and set the Proxy to SOCKS5 '127.0.0.1' and port '9050'.</li>
112)     </ul>
113)     </p>
114)     <p>
115)     For Android 2.x devices: Droid, Nexus One
116)     <ul>
117)     <li>You must root your device for Orbot to transparently proxy all TCP traffic.</li>
118)     <li>For non-modified and non-rooted phones, you'll want to manually configure
119)         your specific applications.</li>
120)     <li>If you root your device, whether it is 1.x or 2.x based, Orbot will
121)         automatically, transparently proxy all web traffic on port 80 and 443
122)         and all DNS requests. This includes the built-in Browser, Gmail, YouTube,
123)         Maps and any other application that uses standard web traffic.</li>
124)     </ul>

129)     <br>

130)     <p>
131)     All of the source code is available in the
132)     <a href="https://svn.torproject.org/svn/projects/android/trunk/Orbot/">Orbot
133)     subversion repository</a>.

136)     <p>
137)     Note that this might not always give you the latest stable Tor version.
138)     Additionally, the Android web browser does not have Torbutton. This means that
139)     while it may be useful for circumvention, it probably is unsuitable for strong
140)     web browser anonymity requirements.
