Re: [tor-talk] Fwd: Orbot v15.1.2 released



Apologies for replying to this so late, but I've had a lot on my plate recently...

I was finally able to test the newest version (below) with my set up (I use customised firewall/transproxy settings and a vpn - all outside orbot).

The good news is that version now works with no major problems, though I still found a couple of issues:

1. Why is it that the app upgrade wipes out the entire app_bin directory? No need for that. The upgrade wiped out app_bin, along with the files I've had in that directory (files I added independently of the orbot installation), e.g. up-to-date geoip files (not the ones provided with orbot).

2. My custom settings had a separate GeoIP statements which were added by orbot. That's wrong. Either leave my torrc.custom file alone and don't mess with it, or properly replace the statements used in that file.

3. How can I compile, or at least obtain a tor binary independently of the orbot installation? The reason I ask this is because the tor binary provided with the latest version is 0.2.7.5 which is not even the latest stable, let alone the one I wish to use (0.2.8.0-alpha).

4. Minor nitpick - the notification icon provided with orbot is bloody hideous! It looks like a circled blob and you hardly notice the arrows when orbot is used. Can you not provide something like the onion on torproject.org, but with two vertical arrows (similar to the wifi notification icon)?

We are now using obfs4proxy to support both obfs4 and meek connectivity
using the new "meek_lite" feature provided by Yawning. It is working
great, and Bridges+VPN support now works back to Android 4.1. This is
also reduced the distribution binary size of Orbot from 14MB to 11MB.
