What advantages does this method has over using Orbot app? Even the orbot app can let you create Onion addresses with a few clicks and it let's other apps on the phone to use that to host websites and stuff.

OK... so, since you pressed me, I made up some advantages and posted back to the thread root

Full Disclosure: I missed the stack-exchange article from 2017 describing this with Orbot. Both Orbot and UserLAnd are FOSS which is good. You will need to install an android web-server if you choose the Orbot path. There are many to choose from, but I don't have any I'm partial to.
As far as differentiation of onion-through-UserLAnd v. onion-through-Orbot:
Orbot + Webserver will likely open a clearnet port on 80, as well as Tor ports.
UserLAnd + Ubuntu ensures that no clearnet ports are opened. Only Tor ports.
Orbot + Webserver will likely have a filespace sandbox you have to put files into.
UserLAnd + Ubuntu allows configs to symlink any directory they have access to into their website.
Orbot + Webserver will rely on a an Android webs-erver port that may not be full featured.
UserLAnd + Ubuntu can use any web-server in the Ubuntu-Arm repository.

This is a more formal post of a previous topic I raised last week. This works surprisingly well and conveniently punches through firewalls and NATs in place on a roaming data plan or public Wi-Fi.

Hello Reddit,
We are testing a new hardware / gadget for TOR users, which is basically a small router to connect any device to TOR.
We noticed that TOR cannot be installed into devices when sometimes you need to torify the traffic to these devices. Introducing: Tory | A Physical TOR Router.
This device is not meant for techie, as they will probably know how to build a TOR client of a RPi or DD-WRT routers, we target the average person.
features:
Purely plug and play .. no need for setup
Currently we support 2.4ghz/5ghz.
We tested iPhone and more smart phones (see picture)
the router is build with security in mind; so no TOR = no Internet
We will donate 5% of revenue to TOR foundation per device sold
auto self update
feedback we want to hear:
We're not sure if there is a need for minimal size (for travellers)
What would be the most important feature besides self auto update to the latest TOR client?
We hope to hear back from the community to improve our contribution. Thank you!
UPDATE: Thank you all for the feedbacks, we're so happy with them and we will reply to each.

I′ll keep this short, sweet, and to the point. I recently downloaded the TOR browser to, of course, browse the internet privately/anonymously. Despite my default browser being very similar to it (Mozilla Firefox), I am a complete newbie when it comes to the use of the TOR browser, and just had a few questions about it regarding its use, privacy, anonymity, avoiding any trouble, etc. Here they are:
Can I log into my personal accounts on various sites on the surface web via the TOR browser (i.e. Google, Reddit, social media, etc.) without really worrying about anything?
When is a VPN absolutely mandatory, and when is it not? (And is a VPN always recommended to be used, even if I′m browsing the surface web?)
Is the simple act of visiting onion links illegal regardless of which site you visit?
Thank you for any help! Much appreciated.

I can't imagine I'm the only one with this problem. Is there any work around?

Idiot landlord is data capping us (and still charging the same price) Any way to bypass this, or conceal data usage?
Before you ask, getting a different internet service provider is not an option for us until skynet is a thing because of location.
Thanks, reddit.

Hello,
Protonmail promotes that they work in TOR but when I try to register they want me to verify by SMS or Email. They wont provide the captcha option to TOR users as they normally do. They also do not accept other than popular email services to send the verification code.
How can I fix this issue and register a Protonmail account anonymously on TOR?

I was just wondering why isn't obfs4 which is used for a bridge the standard tor connection method?

Everything's pretty much in the title. I can create a pastebin with my logs, if you tell tell me no sensitive info is in it. I followed these steps. I am running Ubuntu 16.04 on my server. Any help would be appreciated.

Is this possible?:
I have a Linux (public) server with TOR running. No I want to install another proxy server and connect that one to the TOR service. Is that possible?
Background:
I have a phone with Netguard and want to connect Netguard to my server via socks5 with authentification. At the moment Netguard is just connected to my server without socks5 authentication as TOR doesn't support it. It is working but anyone could connect to it (I have of course changed the default TOR port.)
So phone -> Netguard -> Proxy server -> TOR proxy -> Internet
I used Orbot before and connected Netguard to the Orbot socks5 but Orbot crashed very often leaving the device without connection to the internet
Any idea?

I use TAILS OS on my PC, but I also have a smartphone too. As you may know, all the traffic goes over TOR in TAILS OS. However, that's not the same with a smartphone. I use Netguard Pro, and I was able to use Orbot through it. Then, I blocked other "nonessential" apps' internet access.
Do I need to use VPN -when using Tor Browser- to encrypt non-encrypted data that goes out from my phone, still?
p.s Orbot is on for all other apps.

I've been trying to use it but I get: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
I know it removes completely my anonymity but Im not pursuing said attribute at the moment.

Thank you for the replies, I am a bit new to the browser.

I have a hobby of studying politics so I decided one day if you enjoy it start doing it has some benefits some of them are I can learn more about my identity as an Arab, I will know more about our history, and be better at researching any topic, and knowing more about the wars and conflicts of the middle east, and I also love it so why not, but the problem here is that I can't rely on browsers such as google, Wikipedia, etc... and some information that I need is not found or hard to find, I looked for other browsers like tor but it is blocked in the country I live in, so how do I access it? is there good VPN's, and any tips on how to start deep diving into shit like that?

So I was digging through information about this program called LanSchool. I discovered that you are able to see a student's internet history on a normal browser e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari. So I was wondering, does that ability extend to TOR or is LanSchool not able to track TOR?

Are dark web emails safe and anonymous? like onion mail, secmail etc.

I'm primarily on Dread Forum, Hidden Answers and other more or less friendly types of hidden services. At first, I noticed that HA has been 503'ing on me until I find a circuit that works very slowly, and then Dread's responsiveness died out completely. Though, Secmail and DuckDuckGo still work well. So is this just a coincidence or is something happening on the Tor network?

Inside Pluggable Transports folder of Tor Browser, there is only obfs4proxy.exe but I'd like to add the other ones such meek that are working. How should I do it?
Edit: in the following link, it says to build from source, do the below. I don't know what they mean:
git clone https://git.torproject.org/pluggable-transports/meek.git
cd meek/meek-client
export GOPATH=~/go
go get
go build
tor -f torrc
Here is the link to above:

Only with Austria exit node Google works, and it is really cumbersome to find a Austria exit node on TOR browser.
Do you experience such a thing and how can I fix this?

I have an opnsense router on my home network that has plenty of extra bandwidth and power. I'd like to donate that, especially during night when my bandwidth needs are much lower, to ToR usage. My understanding is relays and bridges are what are useful from home users. What exactly should I be setting up for helping out Tor? Would it make better security sense to just throw tor traffic to an independent device, like a Pi, and let it handle that separate from the firewall?
