Orbot bounces your encrypted traffic several times through computers around the world, instead of connecting you directly like VPNs and proxies. ★ ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES: Orbot is the safest way to use the Internet on Android. Tor won the 2012 Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Pioneer Award. As the New York Times writes, “when a communication arrives from Tor, you can never know where or whom it’s from.” Orbot is the only app that creates a truly private internet connection.

Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis. Orbot uses Tor to encrypt your Internet traffic and then hides it by bouncing through a series of computers around the world. Orbot is a free proxy app that empowers other apps to use the internet more securely.
