What Orbot's own pages show
Suits
- People who want specific phone apps to go through Tor
- Users on restricted networks who need Tor bridges
- Anyone who wants an open-source mobile app they can inspect
Limits worth knowing
- Runs on Android and iOS only; the pages read list no desktop app, and point to Tor Project software for other systems.
- Per-app choice is described for Android only.
- Traffic goes through the Tor network, not a commercial server network, so there are no country-selectable VPN servers.
- The site says the app is free and asks for donations.
