I can't find the answer to this question on the web so I'm asking here. What is the difference between the recently announced #TorVPN and the existing #Orbot by @guardianproject?

@torproject for some reason updates for #TorBrowser on #Android (via @guardianproject 's @fdroidorg repo) consistently fails for quite some time - or rather update installs for it.

  • Is this a known bug or should I be worried?

#orbot has become #klickibunties . i like it. #snowflake #snoflakeproxy now is called kindness mode.

O deixou de me entregar os vídeos do YouTube porque esse bloqueou o meu IP. Então esse tempo todo o PipePipe dava o meu IP para o YouTube, e por tabela informava que eu tava acessando os vídeos sem interrupção de merchan.

Uma pena que o não consiga rodar o PipePipe.

Agora tenho de ver outra forma de tocar música no celular, dentre as muitas opções (mas realmente, mesmo mesmo, eu tava feliz com o PipePipe).

I just tested the in / @delta

It nicely masks the IP address to the server while still allowing voice and video calls between users.

Awesome.

The second easy way to help is installing the #orbot app on a mobile device, preferably a tablet with constant WIFI connection. On smartphones battery drain can be high and you need a plan with unlimited data. Though Orbot is mainly used to pass all the device's traffic to the TOR Network via a VPN, we ignore this function for our purposes and only activate the "Kindness" mode. Then our device can offer a #snowflake proxy to more users than the browser add-on and it can do it 24/7. 2/2 #tor

#Molly app has a socks5 option but only #Orbot "VPN" mode will work. What if #Arti from @torproject could bind with Molly on socks5 via #Termux?

would be nice to have #systemd like @postmarketOS

*Termux @termux
pkg update (possible to plug in keyboard and display to #android #mobile app)
then proot-distro login --isolated debian
su - user because Arti will complain eventhough phone is not really rooted, change etc/resolv.conf to cloudflare, add dependencies needed for #rust rustup and cargo on #debian #trixie, chmod g-w ~/.config

* #Oniux --> E0560

* Arti --> works great. Have not noticed any "anti-effects." Also works on #Alpine / #PostmarketOS in Termux tests.

* apkeep #EFF eff.org/pages/apkeep --> shared storage path, package manager chokepoint won't install

* network monitoring like Nyx with #tokio-console

In a way, like passwordless root in QubesOS. Some good customizations can be made in Dom0, though, unlike GrapheneOS.

@psylo thanks, but @torproject / #TorBrowser and @guardianproject / #Orbot are free and I'd rather supoort those!

"It's easer, faster, cheaper, more resilient, private and secure to onboard #TechIlliterates woth #XMPP+#OMEMO over @torproject / #Tor using @guardianproject #Orbot @monocles / #monoclesChat..."

If it's easier, why isn't it as successful and used by the military etc? You seem to have dismissed video calls etc too. You could argue against that functionality for certain use cases, but it's become a core part of secure messaging over time. Maybe they just have different audiences.

I kind of agree on Moxie's reliance on Intel SGX though. Even at its inception it worried me. But it's not part of the core E2EE protocol so could potentially be replaced.

@tris @yawnbox @Mer__edith @cwtch granted, @signalapp chose to be bad!

And I did try to like Signal - honestly!

@blitter personally, I experience things to be more snappy using @guardianproject / #Orbot to run things over @torproject / #Tor to #torify things...

  • I've been using that in #EDGEland for ~ 15 years now and it's really working great...

@VegaHarmonia depends...

#EDGEland is slow but using @guardianproject / #Orbot as #PerformanceProxy through @torproject / #Tor makes it feel zippier...

@wolf also ich nutze seit 2010
@guardianproject / #Orbot um #XMPP+#OMEMO über @torproject / #Tor zum #Messaging zu nutzen...

For over a decade #MobileInternet in #Germany has been so abysmal that I'm still using @torproject / #Tor (or rather @guardianproject #Orbot ) as a #PerformanceProxy¹ for mobile browsing, messaging and social media.

  • It's really absurd how we're still in #EDGEland!
