 Iâve used Orbot in the past on Android with success with different
 browsers, but the latest version seems to be completely broken as far as I
 could tell.

 1. No matter what you do no application can see Tor running, so checking
 the Tor status page shows that Tor is inactive even when itâs running.

 The phone is rooted and I set âTransparent proxying to ONâ

 But not âTor everythingâ

 I then manually added different browsers in the add app section.

 I tried in several different browsers including Orweb (marked as
 âlatestâ).

 One browser seemed to realize it was connected to something but returned
 the message âThere is a problem with the proxy serverâ and could not
 connect to anything.

 All other browsers I tried simply ignore that Tor is running and connect
 directly (as seen on inspection of an IP checking site (or in Orweb that
 Check Tor page))

 Currently this implementation of Tor on Android is completely unusable,
 which is a shame as it used to work great.
