### Orbot - Open Source TOR/VPN for DeGoogled Phones

The Guardian Project brings us Orbot, a free app for connecting to the TOR network, using the F-Droid App store, if you have The Guardian Project's Official Repository installed in F-Droid. You can also find Orbot on the Nostr Zapstore.

Rob Braxman mentioned it briefly in a video, so we decided to look into it. It is super easy to use. You install it, open it, and tap start to connect the Tor Network

You can enable or disable the "VPN Mode" to send all of your phone's data through Orbot essentially creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection for your device. You can even select which apps it channels, or not, and which country you appear to be from.

Some downsides are:
- Slower connection speeds
- A lot of sites will refuse your connection
- ALL of your encrypted personal data will be bounced around the world giving foreign bad actors easier access to it

You can toggle it on & off with a single tappity, tap, tap

This 👉 video explains how to use Tor on your phone, w/Orbot @ 7:45.
