#privacytechpro tip: you can connect orbot to tor on android #GrapheneOS without it taking up a vpn slot.

connect to your always-on vpn ex: #mullvad or #proton as usual. be sure to use splittunneling to exclude apps that don't play nicely with a vpn from vpn traffic for best experience.

open orbot, make sure 'start orbot on boot' and 'allow background starts' is ticked in settings. then manually connect via your notification or in the app

now #orbot will auto-start and connect to tor while your always-on vpn stays connected

Such an easy process. Many thanks to nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z for including it in #Amethyst onboarding.

I had to enable "Power User Mode" in settings to make it work. That was a while back, though. Is that still the case?

yes, power user mode should be ticked

Interesting, does the tor traffic get routed over the vpn then?

that is my understanding. nostr:npub1gd3h5vg6zhcuy5a46crh32m4gjkx8xugu95wwgj2jqx55sfgxxpst7cn8c is this the case on #grapheneos?

What do you think about this https://simplifiedprivacy.com/mullvadgmail/

Well I think is a shit answer/explanation. They could use more private email providers or build own server - it doesn’t cost fortune. For me Mullvad lost 1 star.

Take control of your privacy and run nostr through tor. Level up further by running your own relay on Start9, too!
