For example FreedomPop zero-rates WhatsApp (https://9to5mac.com/2016/08/17/freedompop-whatsapp-sim-free-iphone/) in 30 countries on a free ($0/month) plan.
A WhatsApp plugable transport would therefor allow users in poverty-stricken, massively oppressed countries to have unlimited free access to information through Tor.
I'm not sure if the component should be Orbot or Tor; the WhatsApp example is for mobile but there is also zero-rating for house internet, or someone might want to use a WhatsApp PT on a desktop/laptop/notebook with conventional Tor, tethered to a smartphone for the zero-rated protocol.cypherpunkscypherpunkshttps://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/11355Provide obfsproxy nightlies in our debian repositories2020-06-13T03:03:10ZGeorge KadianakisProvide obfsproxy nightlies in our debian repositoriesPeople are asking for obfsproxy nightlies (#10954).

No hurry on this one. I mainly made this ticket because #10954 was not very specific.

Also, at random (usually after 30 minutes or so) I seem to lose connection to the Tor network without Orbot notifying me. I'm using Pandora from Canada.

So, the relay functionality you said was broken and needs to be fixed for 'orbot' on smartphones.
I checked with the orbot version '0.2.3.10-alpha-orbot-1.0.7-FINAL' and you have checked with the 'dev branch of the code' as you said (i suppose that means you have checked with latest version of code by compiling and running the latest updated version from git; i will do it too and let you know again). But none seemed to work. In fact, you said you were getting a more significant crash, when you enabled relaying on smartphone for dev branch of code.
You also thought if the problem is: whether the Relay conflict is with transproxying/root or with Tor client connection in general. But, i'm not sure if it later seemed not to be the problem.
Then, you told me to change the torrc file on my android phone, as you said that orbot is not setting the relay values properly which might be the reason for orbot not working as a relay on smartphone.
So, I will do that and let you know about it. I will also keep checking 'https://guardianproject.info/builds/Orbot/' to see if any new dev/debug release is posted.
Thankyou so very much for all your help, Mr.Nathan.

I'm not sure if this happens only to me, but when I try to start Tor, it cannot access cache/control_auth_cookie. I can chmod it every time, but it is a bit annoying.

For examples, please see http://pastebin.com/Z4KDDq40. These connections completely bypass transproxy.
I am not yet sure about the circumstances under which Android employs these addresses.
The problems in finding a solution are that Android usually does not include ip6tables (though Orbot could simply package that) and kernels do usually not include IPv6 netfilter modules. The latter is a major issue, since Orbot can't package modules for every single kernel a user might be running.
As a side note, IPv6 does not support NAT (which is what transproxying is based on).
I'll try to figure out what triggers this behaviour of Android and find possible solutions (using sysctl to disable IPv6 does not solve it).

After re-enabling, all apps access everything without tor, until I go into the orbot config screen to cause it to reapply them.
OrBot should listen for these network disable/loss/disconnect events if possible, and reinstate the iptables rules after this happens.
Someone should also test if switching from cell data to+from wifi also triggers this iptables reset. I have not tested that yet.Nathan FreitasNathan Freitas
