#Orbot ist eine App, die das Handy anonym(er) macht, Verbindung durch das #Tor -Netzwerk leitet. Dieses funktioniert mit Eingangs-, Mittel- und Exitknoten: kein Knoten sieht alles.
Orbot bietet einen wesentlichen Schritt in Richtung Anonymisierung #Privacy #Datenschutz
Die Nutzung der Schneeflocken ist dramatisch eingebrochen.
Ich hab jetzt seit ca drei Wochen zusätzlich Orbot auf dem Handy installiert, und dabei nur den "Freundlichkeitsmodus" aktiviert, was in etwa der Funktionalität von Snowflake entspricht.
Die Anzahl der Verbindungen in der dritten Woche ist ca ein Sechstel derer in den beiden Wochen davor. Der Zeitpunkt entspricht ziemlich genau der Sperre des Iranischen Internets. 😬
Auf PC/Laptop hab ich überhaupt nur mehr 1-2 Verbindungen pro Tag. 😟
This makes me infinitely happy. Especially in light of everything happening in the world. Its a small measured way to make a difference.
This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is live today:
* website improvements

@ariadne @fluttersh yes, and you can tunnel all that through @torproject / #Tor via @guardianproject #Orbot and run said #Mailserver as an #OnionService (and without amy external links to other eMail servers!), reducing not just cost compared to a regular mailserver but also making it very exensive and hard to track down not just users but the Server itself.
And if we consider state-sponsired attackers then that's propably the way to go, alongside hardened procedures re: #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec, #ComSec in general…
@[email protected] @[email protected] > The whole "Metadata" discussion is for the most part FUD by Signal fans. lmao no it isn't. CIA kills based on metadata.

Almost four hours later, I’ve got everything set up: Orbot, the Play Store, and Obtainium are installed in the main profile, with all apps disabled there by default. From the main profile, I push apps into separate profiles, like my “Midtsveen” profile and a “Google” profile where I keep proprietary apps (which I’ll probably rename to “Proprietary”).
Now I just need to move photos and a few other things over, too lazy to deal with that right now, but it’ll happen at some random point. Most apps are installed through the Google Play Store, which is routed through Orbot, and so far there haven’t been any issues.
Obtainium is needed for apps like Auxio and another FOSS app that isn’t available on the Play Store. The reason I still need the Play Store is that one proprietary app is picky about where it’s installed from.
After that, I just push proprietary apps to my proprietary profile and FOSS apps to my Midtsveen profile, which is the one I daily-drive.

Was running one using #Orbot kindness mode but it seemed to make my phone hot and my battery run down fast. Bug? Any advice? Currently on 17.8.0-RC-3-tor-0.4.8.21
Also, is it worth enabling for mobile data or is that intensive on data?
Was thinking of running one on an RPi but since we have a static IP maybe not as effective? Is a regular bridge better?
