Connecting via Tor (Android/Graphene)

Some apps have Tor built-in; they do not require additional software or configurations. Most apps, however, do not have Tor built-in. To use them with Tor, you must install and run Orbot on your Android device.

    Start Orbot

  2. In Android settings, go to Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced > Private DNS and toggle Private DNS to "off".
