Tor + Android = Orbot

I'm a pretty big fan of Tor, the anonymizing network known as an onion router. For this reason I was recently delighted to learn of Orbot which is a tor + local proxy implementation for Android! If you're not familiar with tor unfortunately an explanation is outside the scope of this article.

My android phone is rooted so I'm enjoying full transparent tor proxying. I read that on non-rooted phones Orbot will still provide some functionality with specific browsers so it's probably worth a download even if you don't have those magical superuser privileges.
