Orxy: Tor Proxy 2.1.16

Orxy is a viable alternative to Orbot, designed to work seamlessly on the latest Android devices. Utilizing The Onion Router (Tor) network, Orxy ensures the protection of network traffic by encrypting data and routing it through various global points to obscure the connection origin. Consequently, when using Orxy, the websites you visit may perceive your location as being from a different country.

Moreover, Orxy facilitates the recognition of .onion addresses by applications, directing users to special names that lead to hidden services within the Tor network, commonly known as the 'Hidden Web,' 'Dark Net,' or 'Deep Web.' An example link to explore this feature: http://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion.

To leverage Orxy’s benefits, it is essential to configure applications to utilize it as a proxy. Orxy offers a local Socks5 proxy on ports 6150 and 9050, along with an HTTP proxy on port 8118.

For users seeking a hassle-free experience and aiming to safeguard apps without proxy settings – such as YouTube, bitcoin clients, or the Play Store – installing the Orxify plugin (http://goo.gl/ymr12A) is recommended. Notably, Orxify manages app traffic seamlessly and transparently without necessitating specific configurations or root access, thus mitigating potential information leaks.

Besides Tor's traffic anonymization capabilities, users have the option to subscribe to Orxy’s proxy service, shielding Tor traffic from Internet Service Providers (ISPs). This feature proves beneficial in scenarios where ISPs impede Tor traffic. By routing Tor traffic through encrypted tunnels via designated proxies, Orxy camouflages its activity as regular HTTPS access. This approach ensures user data security through Tor encryption and conceals Tor traffic from ISPs via tunnelling. Users can explore this service for 3 days free of charge by selecting ‘Hide Tor Traffic’ within Orxy.

For effective proxy setup: Firefox users can access proxy settings through entering 'about:config' in the address bar and configuring specific network preferences, while Twitter app users can enable HTTP Proxy under Settings and set Proxy Host to localhost and Proxy Port to 8118.

Tips:

• Logging into websites with personal credentials compromises anonymity.
• Avoiding sensitive activities like online banking while using Orxy is advisable.
• Remain cautious with HTTPS usage on secure sites to prevent data exposure.
• Some challenges like CAPTCHAs may arise while using Google search with Orxy; consider alternative anonymous-friendly search engines.

Note: Anonimizing traffic may lead to slower speeds due to worldwide routing. If facing connectivity issues, disable the Samsung app com.sec.msc.nts.android.proxy interfering with Orweb.
