Orbot: Tor for Android

Secure your Android device with anonymous VPN and proxy technology — Orbot: Tor for Android routes your internet traffic through multiple encrypted layers to protect your privacy and identity.

Orbot is a free VPN and proxy app that empowers every app on your device to communicate more securely. Instead of connecting directly to websites and services, Orbot encrypts your internet traffic and bounces it through a series of computers distributed around the world. This multi-hop routing process transforms your connection into a truly private internet experience, making it impossible for observers to trace your activity back to you.

Tor, the underlying network Orbot uses, is free software and an open-source project designed to defend against traffic analysis — a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom, privacy, confidential business activities, and state security. When your communication arrives through Tor, as the New York Times notes, "you can never know where or whom it's from." This level of anonymity is why Tor won the 2012 Electronic Frontier Foundation Pioneer Award for its groundbreaking contributions to digital privacy.

Unlike standard VPN apps that route your connection through a single server, Orbot provides the strongest privacy protection available by encrypting and re-encrypting your data multiple times across different nodes. Yes, this process takes longer than direct connections, but true security and identity protection are worth the trade-off. Orbot is the safest way to use the Internet on Android — period.

Route any app through Tor using Orbot's VPN feature. Whether you're protecting your web browser, messaging apps, or other services, Orbot prevents anyone monitoring your network from knowing which apps you're using or which websites you visit. All they can see is that you're using Tor — your actual activity remains completely hidden.

Orbot is free software backed by the Guardian Project, a group of developers committed to creating secure mobile apps and open-source code for a better tomorrow. Our source code is publicly available, allowing security researchers and the community to verify our implementation and contribute improvements.

While no technology is 100% foolproof, Orbot uses protocols widely regarded as state-of-the-art in security technology, and we continuously upgrade the software to combat emerging threats. Choose Orbot: Tor for Android and take control of your digital privacy today.
