👀 Whooops

BHN 🍁 2y ago

I use a different application that also routes TOR and it would be cool to support it. Its easy to enable SAM if thats how you connect.

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

If it's just a proxy setup, it should work with the Orbot option as well. Just make sure the ports match.

BHN 🍁 2y ago

Well, double checked and it doesnt have SAM. I confused it for a different TOR router on one of my other devices...

At least it seems to have a SOCKS proxy and HTTPTunnel for apps if you decide support either of those methods at some point in the future.

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

What's SAM?

BHN 🍁 2y ago

Me being an absolute idiot. The SAM bridge was for the i2p router not the tor router 😑

👀👀 protect your neck from relay operators. This is huge.

Yeeeessss, now . thanks have the power 🤩

Johano 2y ago

Yes nostr:npub1cpazafytvafazxkjn43zjfwtfzatfz508r54f6z6a3rf2ws8223qc3xxpk is awesome 😃😃

Regarding Tor support: very cool and needed, but which relays support it?

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

No idea which relays support. All I can do is to ship the feature. The rest is with you folks. :)

Azarakhsh.eh! 2y ago

I'll run tor on my relay too. I wasn't using it before cause none of the clients had the option.

L 2y ago

Thanks a lot for your moral and technical support 💜

Enki 2y ago

Nice now the tor address to my relay is more useful.

I2P next? 😅

Enki 2y ago

Tor support!

Pextar 2y ago

I can translate it to Swedish if you want? 🇸🇪🤝

Johano 2y ago

Cool! I can give a little bit of help and guidance if you want

Pextar 2y ago

Sure! Is there a link so I can get started?

Johano 2y ago

Yes, you'll just need to translate the strings in this file: https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/blob/main/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml

Johano 2y ago

How much GitHub experience do you have?

Pextar 2y ago

Just a little. Do I need to fork it to be able to translate?

Johano 2y ago

That'll make things easier, yes, but it's not essential... you could save a local copy and edit that if you prefer

Pextar 2y ago

Okey! I’ll look into it tomorrow! If I need more help I let you know. Thanks!

Johano 2y ago

Varsågod!

Pextar 2y ago

Haha mycket bra🤝

Pextar 2y ago

I’m done with the translation but I did I local. So how do I do now? I’ve clicked around on Git but I not sure what I’m doing😅

page394 2y ago

nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll does this mean self hosted relay via tor on embassy can be added now?

page394 2y ago

Idk if it's possible but can we connect to .onion relay even without orbot running for whole phone?

greenart7c3 2y ago

Yes, you can run orbot without the VPN option

Pablo Xannybar 2y ago

You can easily install Tor and create a hidden service for your local node. Docker makes it a bit trickier tho. Does embassyOS have a Tor package you can install? If it's integrated you're sorted. If not, you'll have to look up routing Tor to a Docker container.

page394 2y ago

It does everything over tor by default, meaning to use one’s own relay running on it, the nostr client needs to be able to connect to a .onion relay address, right #[7] ?

Start9 2y ago

Yes, your relay is already hosted on Tor. You need a client that can connect to relays over Tor, but mostly this is just a matter of configuring your browser properly.

page394 2y ago

#[6] can we add .onion relays to amethyst?

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

No idea. Can you?

page394 2y ago

I mean without orbot running as a tor vpn over whole phone

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

No, you have to have Orbot running for now. But you don't need to activate Orbot for all apps. If I understand correctly, you can select which apps you want to use it for.

page394 2y ago

Yes but phone can only do one vpn at a time and it’s currently being used for non tor, so would be awesome to have built in tor in this way 🙏 at your coding speed I bet it would take maybe 40 min 😅

matata 2y ago

you can use orbot tor-mode only

dont have to have orbot vpn turned on afaik, no?

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

I am not sure if it doesn't run in the same issue. The VPN setup is good because it remains alive. If we import a Tor library, the phone will kill the connection and thus every time somebody resumes the app it will take a few seconds to connect to Tor...

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

* proxy setup.. the VPN is supposed to be optional with Orbot.

page394 2y ago

I’ll play with it later, thanks

pjv 2y ago

I turned on orbot and did NOT configure it to run in VPN mode and then I configured amethyst to use tor (on port 9050 which orbot is bound to by default) and it's working perfectly. None of the other traffic on my phone is going through tor.

Any app that is proxy-aware could send its traffic to port 9050 to use tor without the rest of the traffic on the phone using tor.

nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z thanks for making Amethyst usable over tor - that's a great feature.

page394 2y ago

Also can we add relays in a private manner? How to backup my content to my own relay without telling the whole network that I’m connected to that address?

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

Humm that's a new one.

Azarakhsh.eh! 2y ago

I was just asking about tor a day ago. Nice!

nostr:nevent1qqsy6rquc7y2xyp49sep2ekq5e60gy9e9lyamv3gcwfzdevjvnfg42gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsygzxpsj7dqha57pjk5k37gkn6g4nzakewtmqmnwryyhd3jfwlpgxtspsgqqqqqqsv9uh3m

Azarakhsh.eh! 2y ago

Did F-droid remove amethyst? I can't find it there anymore.

Pablo Xannybar 2y ago

Add the IzzyOnDroid repo.

It's quicker to just grab the latest release off GitHub tho.

Remy LeBeau 2y ago

Nice. Been waiting for that.

Pablo Xannybar 2y ago

This is seriously huge! Afaik you are the first to do this on a mobile client. Now for it to become a normal expected feature on all of em and we have serious privacy + can easily run nodes from home + much more accessible to political dissidents etc.

Leathermint 2y ago

🔥🔥🔥

JuceMD 2y ago

The Orbot support works wonderfully. Tested with and without as well as disabling Orbot whilst in Amethyst. And it works as expected. Great job and great update. Cheers.

Freetree33 2y ago

Wow cool thank you was waiting for Gogogoo tiger

nobody 2y ago

In view of the censorship that our country is facing, we are adopting Amethyst as the default client to connect to Nostr, if you can add the function to insert a native proxy in the app, we are grateful, as we fear that vpn or Orbot will be banned in the country and will make our access difficult in this country awesome app. thanks

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

Put a bounty up. Let's see if a dev wants to take it on. Right now, no one is working on this.

nobody 2y ago

thanks
