Comments on Orbot: Tor for Android for Android

★★★★☆ Ashiqur Rahman Abir · Jun 7, 2026

I think the source of the most bad review is the real IP problem. Tor needs real static IP 4 for tor routing. Dynamic IP behind a NAT works as a client but doesn't route Tor.

★★★★★ Pedram · May 30, 2026

Seriously, this is the best VPN working in Iran right now, especially considering how the internet situation is here, as you all know. It's working perfectly! Thank you so much for continuing to provide such an amazing service.

No longer connects. Not sure if it is the app or my recent phone update, but Tor VPN works and this doesn't.

★☆☆☆☆ Aryan Abdolahi Serajzadeh · May 25, 2026

Please provide dns scanner and advanced dns tunneling and cdn fronting for people in Iran.

★☆☆☆☆ Musab “Mus” · Jul 22, 2026

This application didn't make any difference and failed to work. Despite claims about proxy and VPN, it didn't function, and checking the IP address on the portal showed no change.

★☆☆☆☆ Patrick T · Sep 10, 2026

This app keeps hijacking my phone. If I want to turn on my VPN, I'll turn it on. My phone runs slow. The internet is slow when I use it, which I don't even turn it on. It just hijacked my phone. I nearly had Facebook deactivate me because of my suspicious behavior by using the app which I never turned on.
