It's some sort of tor ....thing lol (I know nothing). On android. If you're on amethyst you can see the Tor option in settings and it's mentioned there
Discussion
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.
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
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)
