#TorVPN
"Built on #Arti: #Tor #VPN uses Tor's next-generation Rust implementation. That means safer memory handling, #modern #code architecture, and a stronger security foundation than legacy C-Tor tools." https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.torproject.vpn/ (onion available)

No need to figure out how to bind a client (app) to http-connect (not socks) port 9150. Just look for the Full Device VPN key symbol (Google's thing they can toggle remotely at airports)! Except for Firefox, you are relying on the Full-Device vpn lock. There is no option like that on mobile as on Linux. Few #Android applications allow variable changes like the #firefox mobile config.

[Even though http-connect is not socks, in actual practice the bind works with the config below which will remain true even if Full Device VPN and Block Connections without are toggled remotely

*** tricky part here, no solution ***
network.proxy.socks
127.0.0.1
network.proxy.socks_port
9150

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?
