Orbot is the original free and open-source Tor-powered VPN for iOS and macOS. Orbot helps you access the internet with more safety and privacy, and no extra cost to you.
FEATURES:
- Browse the internet over Tor.
- Secure your traffic from insecure wireless networks and ISPs.
- Access .onion sites that are only accessible over Tor.
DISCLAIMERS:
- Web browsing is much slower than through a normal VPN because your traffic is encrypted and relayed through the Tor network.
- Orbot might not work on networks with advanced network restrictions. If the app does not connect, try using bridges (or a different type of bridge).
- Use of Orbot is at your own risk; remember that sensitive data does not always belong on a mobile device.
** Orbot is free and open-source software. You can read more about Orbot and how to support development of Tor on iOS by visiting orbot.app **

Updated At: 2023-10-04
Changes: Oct 4, 2023
Version 1.6.5
The growth of the Tor network unfortunately makes the client use a lot of RAM,
which brings us near the limit of 50 MB RAM, a "Network Extension" (also known as "VPN")
is allowed to use. This limit is in iOS only, Hence the following changes are iOS only:
- Brought back "Clear Cache" button on the home screen.
- Added setting to always clear the cache automatically before start.
- Reduced `MaxMemInQueues` to 5 MB again.
Recent problems with bridges are also addressed:
- Updated Snowflake configuration to make it work again.
- Added Meek Azure support, since it still works, albeight often slowly.
- Removed deprecated CAPTCHA support which is now completely replaced by automatic configuration.
- Improved "Ask Tor" auto-configuration:
- Update built-in Obfs4 and Snowflake configuration on the fly without the need for a new app release.
- Store private Obfs4 bridges for later use if we happen to receive any.
(Check out "Custom bridges" after you pressed "Ask Tor", it might contain bridge lines.)
- Fixed minor issue where the "strict nodes" setting didn't show its real state.
- Improved minor details in edge cases.
