yess that's fine! It uses Tor and Vpn both

. Download Orbot

. Click connect

done

what i would rec is additionally:

.click on "choose apps" and adding all your Nostr, Bitcoin/Lightning, privacy chat apps in there

of all your other non opensource and surveillance apps on your phone most probably will not work properly with orbot (your browser, a simple google, government things, online banking etc).. so best to only lrt it run for relevant apps as i listed above

and dont forget to login again and then enable tor, also for other apps that have that function (e.g. some bitcoin lightning apps like Phoenix)

Ah, to be an android user 😔

I don't even know what I'm doing if that helps

But you have the option to do something. That’s something.

Don't worry, I'll manage to fuck it up.

Sorry, I don't feel like I'm helping 🫂

😂

Are there literally no solutions for apple users? Surely not? Or maybe they cost? 🤔

No, I was referring to tunnel splitting. Ie using a vpn or orbit for specific apps. On iOS when using orbot or vpn it’s a system wide thing.

If you could access my webcam you'd see me nodding in complete ignorance

😂 On android, you can choose which apps to run through a vpn “tunnel”. When I turn on my vpn all my apps are running through the “tunnel”.

oh that sounds annoying as hell

Sucks wet garbage.

best time to buy an android phone was 15 years ago

second best time is now

The family is my limiting factor…..my wife will never leave Apple.

GIVE ME PRIVACY OR GIVE ME CONVENIENCE.

*My family also chose subpar-mediocre products

😂🤝

u dont have to ditch your iphone

u can also just have an extra sovereignty dedicated android for emergencies at hand

what tata said

You'll also look like a cool drug dealer with your second nostr phone

Babe what’s that? That’s my burner honey. Just in case.

Nostr Report: nostr cited as reason for divorce

😂

That’s true. I haven’t really considered that.

Amethyst keeps winning lol:)

Not sure about a desktop solution to this problem 🤔 for those of us on zero budget

a free service is ProtonVPN (both available in app and on desktop)!

you can only connect to 3 countries, so if something is censored in all those countries you cannot reap the benefits of VPN (next to covering your IP, bypassing geoblockages is the main usage of VPN rly)

Yeah Ive used that a few times to watch Tubi, has some data limits on Free. Not sure I've ever exceeded, but never really used mush

ooh did not know that
