Awesome tips! Haha I like those thoughts. I prefer Newpipe because it now has the Live tab since YT implemented that change, we were left hanging. I used to enjoy Libretube because it had the Live!

I use an esim from Bitrefill anytime I need data on the go, other wise this beautiful Pixel remains offline or on wifi.

Can't use VPN right now at home because my @start9labs node uses mDNS (.local and .onion) to sync my stuff.

I had this dilema, i ended up just auto syncing when local and if i need to access use tor browser. That was i can keep using mullvad with orbot taking up the vpn slot

not sure if i understand correctly, but you can connect orbot to tor without it taking up a vpn slot

Doesnt orbot take use up the VPN slot?

it doesn't have to. only if you want to use it's built-in vpn. instead, use your regular vpn, and open orbot, go to settings, make sure ''start orbot on boot' is ticked. if you can't tap connect, then tap connect from your notification message and you're good. it will auto-connect after that so you can use it as a tor proxy for other apps while staying auto-connected to vpn 😉

Ok that worked 😁 i didnt know this... looks like ill be setting up Nextcloud via tor again.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Will i need to give unrestricted battery to Orbot?

you are welcome. optimized works well. the app doesn't need to be open

I need to try this orbot config. I used to play with it a few months ago with no success. Let me give it a new shot with this specific config (only allowing the apps I need to use Tor and rest VPN)
