Pros & Cons

App-wide privacy via Tor routing for all apps
Open-source and community-driven development
App-wide VPN/proxy capability for enhanced privacy
Ongoing privacy enhancements, including DNS tunneling and stability updates

Tor-based routing may introduce higher latency compared to direct VPNs, as noted in the description.
DNS tunneling availability is location-dependent and not guaranteed in all regions.
Some users may prefer faster, more direct proxy solutions offered by competitors.

★★★★★ Dimitri · Feb 10, 2026

Can we get the "connected" in kindness mode? Like how it's in the snowflake browser extension. When someone is connected currently, it tells us. I would love to have it in the app as I would not like to turn of kindness mode when someone is connected at the moment. Of course Orbit tells us when someone gets connected by showing notification of it, but I wish to know when no one is connected as well. Thank you.

★★★★★ Yasamin Karimi · Feb 4, 2026

Hello, I don't know what to say, I'm from Iran. You know we are under severe filtering and no VPN works. The internet is under the most severe filtering, google Play was filtered and even browsers didn't work. I was shocked when Orbit connected. It's not very fast, but that's good too. I don't know how to thank you. It's amazing.

★★★★★ Spot ꔷ͜ꔷ · May 28, 2026

Connected on Iran Tehran Wrangell, but slow speed!.

★★★★☆ B · May 14, 2026

It's okay. Like others have said, this app seemingly stops mid-use and the flow of bandwidth is usually slow. I think there needs to be some obvious bug fixes, a user guide built into the app with some basics know-hows and a rebranding. How about "Orbit: Tor VPN" it tells users it's a VPN immediately. Until then, there are better, free VPN apps to use. Hopefully people start updating this app. EDIT: Thanks for listening! Descriptions are in app, and it streams 720 video with minimal buffering! 4/5

★☆☆☆☆ Jacki Motopas · Feb 2, 2026

I didn't open or use the app in the last month, but still I see now the app connected to internet every day and used 47 MB of data "in foreground" and I see the app "active for 10 hrs" even if I never opened or used the app in the month at all! Why? 🤦‍♂️😲

★☆☆☆☆ Emery Hayward · Feb 2, 2026

Redit I tried other apps none of them will work as it cause them to malfunction and break the app and cause the to become corrupt data then I have to do a complete hard data reset non-stop back to default settings to fix it, and then I lose everything on my phone this is very irritated, so I am switching back to proton VPN as it works on all devices with any issues it failed to do like it say, so I consider this a scam bait

★★☆☆☆ Aryan Abdolahi Serajzadeh · Apr 26, 2026

Dns tunnel doesn't work in Iran. You need to develop it much further!!!

★★☆☆☆ Eric Jonathan Martin · Feb 13, 2026

Kindness mode absolutely drained my battery. Background usage over 9 hours ate through 70% of my battery. Love the idea of it, but I can't always have my phone attached to a charger all day.
