Orbot tor vpn on IOS is almost useless :/ Connecting and disconnecting
Discussion
Works decently for me!
If you’re trying to use Phoenix at the same time, disable the “tor” toggle in Phoenix when Orbot is enabled. They don’t seem to work torgether
I can’t even turn it on. Tried different ways and it’s disconnecting automatically
🤔
How’s your WiFi or cell signal? It runs poorly without full signal
Full signal 🤷♂️ Will try to re install. Also, were you able to connect to your own electrum server in Phoenix on iOS ?
It works acceptably after clearing the cache. Doesn’t seem to work without doing that for me.
Love yourself, get GrapheneOS.
Yeah pain in the butt! 🍑
In case you weren't aware dependent on what your threat model is and reason for using a VPN on iPhone, iOS 16 does communicate with Apple services outside an active VPN tunnel. Worse, it leaks DNS requests. #Apple services that escape the VPN connection include Health, Maps, Wallet.
The Lockdown Mode leaks more traffic outside the VPN tunnel than the "normal" mode. It also sends push notification traffic outside the VPN tunnel.
This is also the reason why VPN clients like IVPN and Proton have removed their iOS app kill switch features.
This was discovered last October and as yet I am unaware of Apple addressing it.
