it doesn't have to. only if you want to use it's built-in vpn. instead, use your regular vpn, and open orbot, go to settings, make sure ''start orbot on boot' is ticked. if you can't tap connect, then tap connect from your notification message and you're good. it will auto-connect after that so you can use it as a tor proxy for other apps while staying auto-connected to vpn 😉

Ok that worked 😁 i didnt know this... looks like ill be setting up Nextcloud via tor again.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Will i need to give unrestricted battery to Orbot?
you are welcome. optimized works well. the app doesn't need to be open
I need to try this orbot config. I used to play with it a few months ago with no success. Let me give it a new shot with this specific config (only allowing the apps I need to use Tor and rest VPN)
