Description

Orbot is a free and open-source application developed by the Guardian Project. It is a mobile app for Android devices that provides enhanced privacy and security for users by providing a secure and anonymous connection to the Internet. Orbot uses Tor (The Onion Router) technology to ensure that communications are not intercepted and that users remain anonymous. It encrypts web traffic, hides users' IP addresses, and prevents websites from tracking users' activities. It is designed to be used with the Orfox browser, which is an open-source web browser based on Firefox and designed to work with the Tor network. Orbot also offers a variety of other security features, such as DNS leak protection, IP address masking, and the ability to route traffic through multiple servers. It also provides a connection to the Tor network, which can help users access geo-restricted content and websites that may be blocked by their Internet service provider (ISP).
