#orbot — Public Fediverse posts

#Orbot ist eine App, die das Handy anonym(er) macht, Verbindung durch das #Tor -Netzwerk leitet. Dieses funktioniert mit Eingangs-, Mittel- und Exitknoten: kein Knoten sieht alles.

Orbot bietet einen wesentlichen Schritt in Richtung Anonymisierung #Privacy #Datenschutz

Die Nutzung der Schneeflocken ist dramatisch eingebrochen.

Ich hab jetzt seit ca drei Wochen zusätzlich Orbot auf dem Handy installiert, und dabei nur den "Freundlichkeitsmodus" aktiviert, was in etwa der Funktionalität von Snowflake entspricht.

Die Anzahl der Verbindungen in der dritten Woche ist ca ein Sechstel derer in den beiden Wochen davor. Der Zeitpunkt entspricht ziemlich genau der Sperre des Iranischen Internets. 😬

Auf PC/Laptop hab ich überhaupt nur mehr 1-2 Verbindungen pro Tag. 😟

This makes me infinitely happy. Especially in light of everything happening in the world. Its a small measured way to make a difference.

#Molly app has a socks5 option but only #Orbot "VPN" mode will work. What if #Arti from @torproject could bind with Molly on socks5 via #Termux?

would be nice to have #systemd like @postmarketOS

*Termux @termux
pkg update (possible to plug in keyboard and display to #android #mobile app)
then proot-distro login --isolated debian
su - user because Arti will complain eventhough phone is not really rooted, change etc/resolv.conf to cloudflare, add dependencies needed for #rust rustup and cargo on #debian #trixie, chmod g-w ~/.config

* #Oniux --> E0560

* Arti --> works great. Have not noticed any "anti-effects." Also works on #Alpine / #PostmarketOS in Termux tests.

* apkeep #EFF https://www.eff.org/pages/apkeep --> shared storage path, package manager chokepoint won't install

* network monitoring like Nyx with #tokio-console

In a way, like passwordless root in QubesOS. Some good customizations can be made in Dom0, though, unlike GrapheneOS.

I just tested the #orbot #socks5 #proxy in #deltachat / @delta

It nicely masks the IP address to the #ChatMail server while still allowing voice and video calls between users.

Awesome.

If it's easier, why isn't it as successful and used by the military etc? You seem to have dismissed video calls etc too. You could argue against that functionality for certain use cases, but it's become a core part of secure messaging over time. Maybe they just have different audiences.

I kind of agree on Moxie's reliance on Intel SGX though. Even at its inception it worried me. But it's not part of the core E2EE protocol so could potentially be replaced.

@hypolite @Amber
(2/2) When you setup a different account like this they are called #Aspects, because they are for different aspects of your life.

To improve your anonymity and limit location tracking, especially for private Aspects, you can use #Orbot, a special decentralised VPN that bounces your traffic around. Orbit is also (kinda) available from FDroid. Fedilab is designed to work with Orbot, see Settings.

You might also want to avoid BigData instances like #CAGFAM for any private Aspect.

@lemmy
Nice discussion there.

For those who like the #socialGraph aspect, look into #aspects. Apps like #Fedilab make it easy to move between difference #identities for difference "aspects" of your life.

So one can enjoy an #activist aspect while maintaining a #professional aspect akin to #linkedIn and then another for #dating.

This type of separation is incredibly important in the modern digital world of #BigData. If one goes down this path they ought use #Orbot/#Tor to hide web traffic.

Btw, is anyone running #Snowflake?

Access to the #tor network is even more crucial and gives access to Signal and most of the free web.

Just install the #Firefox #Webextension and make sure WebRTC is enabled (if your browser supports videocalls, it will be enabled).

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/torproject-snowflake

You can also use #Orbot and instead of enabling a Tor Entry- or Middle-Node, setup a Snowflake Proxy ("Friendly mode"). Proxies are really only used by censored people, so dont fear abuse.

PSA: At this time it is vital that we #UseTorForEverything, including #hosting #onionSites and #eepsites…

Tor, #I2P or nothing!

The more who use #TorBrowser and I2P the better, helping people in oppressed countries disguise their traffic. If everyone is using Tor, and I2P it means people will be able to transact information with the confidence that #NetworkAnalysis is less likely to reveal who said what.

If you are a corner store, invite people to use your #WiFi if they have #Orbot or I2P.

Me gustaría tener dos perfiles en el móvil.

1️⃣Uno para la VPN
2️⃣Otro para torificar el dispositivo (vía Orbot).

¿Cuál usarían para chatear con la gente? VPN o Tor?

The second easy way to help is installing the #orbot app on a mobile device, preferably a tablet with constant WIFI connection. On smartphones battery drain can be high and you need a plan with unlimited data. Though Orbot is mainly used to pass all the device's traffic to the TOR Network via a VPN, we ignore this function for our purposes and only activate the "Kindness" mode. Then our device can offer a #snowflake proxy to more users than the browser add-on and it can do it 24/7. 2/2 #tor

Yay! #tor #onion #onions #orbot #censorship #KindnessMode #TorProject

Esses dias eu fiz um #toot sobre alguns motivos o por que eu não uso exclusivamente o #XMPP. Mas hoje vou comentar alguns motivos aos quais me fazem querer usar exclusivamente o XMPP.
* É Livre, só isso seria o motivo suficiente para usar.
* É leve, usei por muitas horas e consome muito pouco de bateria ( usei o #Conversations e o #Quicksy)
* Tem muitos grupos públicos em pt-br e o pessoal é bem legal.
* Pode usar com Tor ( usei pelo #orbot) no android.
# Instalar pela #fdroid.

Earlier this month my phone running #orbot with #kindnessmode enabled was used as a #snowflakeproxy over 200 times per night several nights in a row. It lasted for less than a week. Now it's back to about 3-10 per night as usual. Does anybody know what caused this massive spike? I only run it on Wi-Fi and primarily when I sleep at home. #tor #snowflake #proxy

Wer Guardian Project nicht kennt, die haben eine Handvoll #Android #privacy apps in einem F-Droid Repository. Z.B. auch #Orbot Tor für Android und ehemals #Orfox für Orbot, jetzt Tor Browser.

Just hit a milestone on Orbot's Kindness Mode! 💖🎉

124 acts of kindness this week, 254 total! Who knew a privacy app could make spreading positivity so fun?

The app reminds me: 'Today is better because of you.' And you know what? It's true for all of us.

Whether it's a supportive comment, sharing helpful info, or just being there for someone online - every little act counts.

Who else is up for the kindness challenge?
