When using Tor, be aware of what it does and doesn’t do! While poxying all your trafic through tor is something I support wholeheartedly, keep in mind that there are dangers, too.

IMO most importantly, malicious Exit Nodes (The last “hop” in a Tor chain, where your packets leave the Tor network and enter the general internet.) can and do read your traffic if it’s not encrypted, allowing them to steal passwords, etc.

Doesn’t make using Tor a bad idea, just something to be aware of.

You don’t have permission to access /dist/android/alpha-orbot-latest.apk on this server.

Thank you.
Though I didn’t do this anyway, I was not aware to what you say…
Now that you said it, it seems pretty obvious to me…

What other dangers are there?

BTW is it possible for one of the proxies in the communication chain, to add some information of their own?

Don’t use Tor to log onto *ANY* site which holds potentially sensitive personal information!! The whole point of Tor is to be ANONYMOUS on the net. If you’re using Tor to visit sites which require a login, then you’re essentially defeating the intended purpose of Tor completely.

;-)

FWIW, the app asks for root access when run, but the torproject page notes that root is not required.

There is also a status area thingy for turning it on and off in a separate package.
