When orbot is active then I am safe, but when wifi drops and reconnects my normal IP is visible. The worst is that orbot still shows the green "I am connected" light.
PS: please forward this to orbot devs, I was unable to find their project fast enough so I put the bug here.

2. You have a bridge string that is too long for Orbot's tastes, I think it may also set off a similar Force Close loop, but I haven't rigorously tested this.

But maybe 2 days ago I suddenly couldn’t access tor anymore. I didn’t make any changes in between.
Orbot starts normally and is connected. If I go to
https://check.torproject.org
with firefox+proxymob I’ve got a nice
“Congratulations. Your browser is configured to use tor”.
But I can’t load any .onion page anymore.
I tried to reinstall everything, I restored the factory settings of my phone, I tried to define proxies manually, I tried under Wifi and 3G, I tried older versions of firefox and even proxymob, etc, etc. But it just don’t work anymore even if I see “congratulations, your Browser is configured to use Tor”
Any idea would be welcome !!

Improve user experience for handling blocked access to Tor network or bridges, and prompt to user to try obfsproxy. The interesting thing that you can do on Android is tell whether the user generally has an "Internet" connection or not, meaning they have good connectivity, an IP address, etc. The state we're looking for is when the Internet is good, but Tor is stuck at 10% bootstrapping, or some other typical fingerprint of Tor network blockage. Orbot has solid bridge/obfsproxy support, but right now it is not exposed to users who don't know about it.Nathan FreitasNathan Freitashttps://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/6300Orbot's wizard does not detects root2016-04-07T11:16:48ZTracOrbot's wizard does not detects rootOrbot's wizard say the device is not rooted, even if it is.
