Tor 瀏覽器 for Android - Complete Setup Guide

Follow these steps to install Tor 瀏覽器 on your Android device:

1. Download from official sources only:
   • Google Play Store: 搜尋 for "Tor 瀏覽器" by The Tor 計畫 - this is the 最安全 option
   • F-Droid: Available through the Guardian Project repository for users who avoid Google Play
   • Direct APK: Download from torproject.org/download/#android - verify the signature if downloading the APK directly
2. Install the app and open it. Tap "Connect" to connect to the Tor 網絡. First connection may take 15-30 seconds.
3. Configure security level: Tap the three-dot menu → Settings → Security Settings. Choose "最安全" for maximum protection (disables JavaScript) or "更安全" for a balance of security and usability.

Important: Never download Tor 瀏覽器 from third-party app stores or random APK sites. Malicious versions exist that log your activity and steal data.

For maximum 隱私, use a VPN alongside Tor 瀏覽器 on Android:

1. Install a VPN app: Mullvad, ProtonVPN (free tier), or IVPN
2. Connect to the VPN first before opening Tor 瀏覽器
3. Then open Tor 瀏覽器 and connect to Tor

This setup means: Your ISP sees VPN traffic → VPN server sees Tor traffic → Tor 網絡 sees 匿名 browsing. Neither your ISP nor the Tor entry node sees your real IP 位址.

Android-specific tip: Use Android's built-in "Always-on VPN" feature (Settings → Network → VPN → select your VPN → toggle "Always on") to ensure VPN is always active before Tor 瀏覽器 can connect.

If Tor is blocked in your country or on your network, configure 橋接 in the Android app:

1. Open Tor 瀏覽器 and tap the gear icon on the connection screen (or go to Settings → Tor 網絡 → 橋接)
2. Select "Use a 橋接"
3. Choose a built-in 橋接 type:
   • obfs4: 最佳 first option - disguises Tor traffic as random data
   • Snowflake: Uses volunteer WebRTC proxies - good when obfs4 is blocked
   • meek-azure: Disguises traffic as Microsoft Azure connections - slowest but hardest to block
4. Or enter custom 橋接 addresses obtained from 橋接.torproject.org

橋接 are essential for Android users in 中國, 伊朗, 俄羅斯, and other countries with Tor censorship.
