1) I open orbot, the "start screen" loads fine. It shows the unconnected start-state. The background makes this nice pulsing animation
2) I want to start the service, tap "start"/logo.
3) App crashes. It just disappears the second I click start.
4) I then reopen the app, still it is unconnected of course. I enable the VPN slider. The app instantly crashes (again). Even worse, when I now start it again, it crashes (does not show the start screen anymore, either).
I am on android 9. Lineageos 16.0-20191229-NIGHTLY-beryllium. Kernel 4.9.200-perf-g44bd5bc. I use a pocophone f1.
Cannot use the app now.

I hear that in the long run, Orbot will use tor-android-service, which includes our up-to-date default bridges, but in the short run we should make sure that these bridges are kept in sync with our [default bridges](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorBrowser/DefaultBridges).Nathan FreitasNathan Freitashttps://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/28191orfox isnt working2018-12-12T08:05:25ZTracorfox isnt workingI have been using Orbot as a VPN for a while and I worked fine.

I have a friend who has started using the dark web and told me how to do it. I downloaded Orfox and from then on Orbot has been unable to connect to tor. I tried uninstalling it in case it was still doing the VPN thing instead (i had already turned of VPN mode but I wanted to be sure) then I reinstalled it and the same thing happened.

There is problem on newest version of orbot app. At the settings, relay port, i wrote 443 port. After I do it, The tor relay isn't start. I returnet previous port, and it goes normally. Please, solve this issue, because i haven't opened port 9001 on my mobile data. I have opened port 443.
Thanks.
Translate on Polish.
Dzień dobry.
Mam problem z przekaźnikiem tora na telefonie z androidem w aplikacji orbot. Po zmianie portu w ustawieniach na 443 tor w ogóle się nie uruchamia. Cały czas widnieje napis: "Orbot is starting". Po przywróceniu domyślnego portu wszystko działa poprawnie. Proszę o rozwiązanie problemu, ponieważ na mobilnej sieci mam otwarty port 443 a częściej korzystam z mobilnego pakietu.
Dziękuję.

Firefox Klar provide better privacy than Chrome. Unlike Firefox, it doesn't send telemetary(checkbox is off by default[1]) and also doesn't download filter lists from the internet(included in APK).
Also, Firefox Klar is designed "incognito-by-default". User can clear the result/close the browser by just tap the menu.
We should rebrand Orfox with Klar codes to provide better UX to TBB users.
[1] So we should delete the telemetry code and hide the button.
Do not trust Firefox FOCUS. FOCUS send them by default and also send device info. Klar doesn't.
