Hello,
I recently took the plunge and rooted my asus transformer to the revolution hd ROM. I did this because I learned I couldn't access all of the android market in Korea. I installed orbot, and then hoped it would just work. It is a no go. There are two people, according to my searching, that have gotten orbot to work on the transformer:
valsacar
rezaaz
They have left little information as to how they got orbot to work. But their posts do give me hope.
This is my last hope. If I can't get it to work, I am selling my transformer.
How do I get orbot to work? Or, how do I get full market access?

You have the same habit of leaving very little info for us to help you. Orbit works perfectly for me. You need to tell us what's wrong and why you know it doesn't work. Every little detail helps.
Ah, it must be contagious. (^_^)
I started the orbot app, did the wizard, gave it root, selected both the android market and tegra zone apps to be used in Tor, wrote down the proxy settings(not sure where or how to use them), did not install gibberbot or orweb, and pressed the power icon to start. It turns yellow, with the droids arms out like a 'T', and goes into a loading/waiting loop
I tried fiddling with bridges and exit nodes, but I don't know enough about tor.
Is that enough info?
Looks like a proxy problem. Try a different proxy server.
I opened up orbot, but there doesn't seem to be a 'proxy' setting. Do I change it somewhere else? Or get a proxy app?
Update
I rooted my tablet to the newest Prime and Revolver. Orbot turned green only on Revolver. Orbot turns green and says it is working. I checked by adding the default browser to route through tor, and it was a success.
New problem:I get a message stating 'rejecting requet for anonymous connection to private address [scrubbed] on a Transpor or NATDPort. Possible loop in you NAT rules?'
I have three apps selected for tor:
Market
Market Feedback Agent
Market Updater
I wanted to make sure all of the market was through tor so that I can access it in America. I am going to keep digging, but if anyone has had success, please enlighten the world with your knowledge. (^_^)
@MarcAtony I'm getting the same error on my old MyTouch 3G (esspresso slide) I reolize this is a bit of a thread revival but I was encuraged by another forum to try out running a "Relay" for Bitcoins, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Here's some of the steps I've preformed;
Loged into wireless router and portforwareded 443 to the static IP of my Android. Also port forwareded 9001, the default port for acting as a relay.
On the Orbot app I selected the option "Reachable Address" under settings and left the Reachable ports at thier default values "*:80,*:443"
I also sellected the option "Relaying" and left the port at it's default value "9001"
For the chance of getting paid for running a relay for TOR I edited the "Torrc Custom Config" option and input "ContactInfo [email protected] - <BTC_Address>" on one line just edit the "<BTC_Address>" to something like 1jjXnf... and remove the <> simbles. Only use the example email or one that has been set up through TOR if ya care about anonimimity... also make a new BTC address for this if your the perinoid type.
Then I downloaded the DroidWall app as suggested by the following link
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/mission-impossible-hardening-android-security-and-privacy
~ and set up firewall rules to allow things through on the Android side.
Now working on the "Hidden Service Hosting" option with apps simular as the follwing two
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alfanla.android.pws
https://github.com/bodeme/androidwebserver
Because even though I'm not coonfortable running a Wiki-leaks mirror as suggested bellow
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/create-anonymous-wikileaks-mirror-on-your-android-device/
~ it looks like nearly any type of content can be served off Android through an ~.onion domain.
Any help on the NAT errors would be appresheated but I'm thinking that it's just a firewall issue. Also let me know if you're still around and having issues; this stuff be tricky.

So i recently rooted my N1 with the 1click root. Worked really well and it seemed to work for most respects.
I had Orbot a while ago but couldn't really use it to the full extent without root, so I grabbed it again and started playing. I set it to transparent proxy all apps, and the new version has the check feature which sends you off to the tor check website (check.torproject.org i think) and it tells you whether you're using Tor or not.
Well I always get a "Sorry. You are not using Tor." I've tried restarting, reinstalling Orbot and I don't know what else to try.
Has anyone else had this experience? If so, could you share how you fixed it?
had the same thing
I'm on an Evo - was OTA 2.2 - used Unrevoked to root and wanted to use Orbot- no love... a lot of searching later, found this little gem:
Open: Voice Dialer
(no, the above is NOT a typo)
Say: Proxy
You will get a prompt Voice Dialer title with the option "Open Proxy Settings"
Open them and put in your loopback address (127.0.0.1) on the first line and the HTTP proxy port on the second (8118 by default) and you are all set for http proxy - now if someone can just tell me how to get the SOCKS proxy working...
Hope this helps a bit!
Cheers!

Greetings all... new to the forum, but I've already gotten a ton of good info here, so I'm hoping someone can offer a theory on the problem I'm having.
My Captivate is mostly stock (2.1). I had no real trouble getting through rooting the device, and I've got openvpn connecting to my network over 3g with no issues.
The problem is that I can't actually access the webserver on my network that the setup is intended for. The goal is to pull up a web app from the phone without having to open my (sloppy, insecure) webserver to the net. The captivate pulls a valid ip, and I can actually ping the server in question, but when I attempt to open the page in the browser it times out.
I've noticed that openvpn shows an up/down speed after it connects, and on one occasion I noticed it was fairly fast (don't recall the numbers, I just glanced at it). Recently I've been paying more attention to it and it's talking like .02kb/s, which would probably be too slow to be useful.
So aside from all the people trying to make openvpn work, is anyone actually *using* it once they get it working? It seems like the browser is seeing the alternate route, because my history at least shows the page name, but I get "the server failed to communicate" in a dialog, and web page not available in the browser.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
I use VPN over 3G to RDP to servers so I'm sure speed isn't the whole issue. Unless you set the DNS servers using ADB Shell or a Terminal from within the phone, any non-outward facing URL will not be resolved. If you know the ip address of that host, plug it in the address in place of the name and let me know if that works. Also depending on the what the web app uses, the regular browser may or may not load it. If it's Share Point based at all, use Fennec as the browser.
I recently read in a post about whether AT&T can tell if you are tethering. This is the response that another user here posted:
thekurrgan said:
Truth: They can tell you are tethering via ANY conveyance that uses IPNAT.
If it uses IPNAT, then the TTL is reduced by 1 since there is another hop. This is how they tell. This little bastardly monitoring technique is deployed on all "enhanced backhaul" sites and is slowly being added to the rest of their towers that are UMTS or better. A simple defeat is using a proxy type of program.. at that point there is absolutely no way they can prove you are tethering, since all packets actually ARE originating from the phone. I personally installed a squid server and set my devices to use it.

My Inspire is rooted, running CM7, and I tether very seldom. I am however going to be traveling soon, and will probably be tethering much more often. Can someone kindly tell me how to set up this "squid" server, or point me to a guide somewhere? Is it an app for the phone, a tool installed on my laptop, or a combination of both? This all sounds pretty foreign to me, so any help would be appreciated..
Thanks in advance..

Thanks for the reply. I checked out that site earlier, and it was way over my head. I also noticed that you mentioned SSH Tunnel but you edited it. I actually installed that already, but have no clue how to set it up. By looking at both links, I'm assuming I need applications installed on both my laptop, and phone. Am I correct in assuming that the host name I need to enter on SSH Tunnel is the name of the squid (or other) server on my laptop?
As far as Squid goes, is there anything else out there that is a little more novice friendly in terms of installation?
I'm beginning to think this whole thing may be a little over my head, and should just tether sparingly. Guess I'm a little paranoid..

I realized SSH Tunnel wasn't much of a help so I removed it.
What the unnamed person is talking about is basically you need to have your phone point to a proxy for apps that access the mobile network.
Whether AT&T knows rogue tether users by non-ATT APNs or natted IP bounce, proxy will hide the usage and make you anonymous.
So,
You need to configure your phone to point to a proxy. Since Android doesn't have proxy features, you need to modify system files (don't want to do that) or install a proxy app (like ProxyDroid) to point to a proxy server (in the unnamed network guy's case, a caching proxy server running Squid.)
Now the question is do you have a proxy that you can point your phone to?
I've noticed PDANet tethering app (v 5.01) for iPhone now has hide usage feature. Hide usage feature is not yet implemented for Android version.
IMO, if you use the tethering sparingly, you will be ok.
Just bring this down in to the transformer thread for those tha might be in the need of certain
hopthewall type situations..
There is a need for good Android VPN situations for those that work around the globe in spots
that dont allow access like back home in our normal environments.
Thus it makes it necessary that we have a range of options open for use.
I tinker with the Android VPN pptp and L2TP settings consistantly over a range of networks throughout
a rather big red country (not to name names as they have an army of monitors going through threads like these so key words bring it to thier attention).
if in need.. use your Google skills.. and set up a VPN network on your laptop..
then adhoc through it on your devices..
Check this thread out..

also remember if you are having problems connecting, you might need to direct i.p settings for the gateways.
keep an eye on this project too.. I havent had much luck with getting it going but that not to say
it isn't going to get better in future releases. . you can get it in the market search for Tor
https://bridges.torproject.org/
another one..
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.sshtunnel&feature=related_apps
Note if you are behind the GCFW your phone wont be able to download these as they are blocking certain apps from the market..
I cant update any like facebook, youtube via the market without using a VPN proxy.
K as a note, dont ask me for i.p addresses and dont publish them if you get them going..
its a running battle to keep the good ones open, putting them out into public forums is a no no..
on a more postive note..
using this setup today, I was able to sit and watch a swag of youtube videos out to the TV using
my phone and Tab as the control via the new Google youtube remote..
great little program..

Just stumbled on this one.. Droidvpn
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488897
Working for me but incoming rates are a bit slow (China), out going is cooking..
Have asked the developers for insights so I can do more testing..
But as a plug and go, working for me out of the box..

As you all know most US (and i believe other) carriers try to charge us more for the data we already pay for if we want to use it in any method besides from our phone. There are a lot of apps that claim to get around it and it works for some and not for others, after some extensive google-fu and research i have found out that most if not all carriers use one of two methods of detecting tethering. 1.if the built in tethering is used the phone will use a separate tether specific apn 2.they look at the TTL of a packet, if tethering is being used the TTL will last past the WAN of the phone.
So i set out to try and find a way around this and a method of tethering that would work safely for all and get around TTL detection and i believe i have now found it.
Things you will need:
-Root
-ConnectBot
-ProxyDroid
-PDAnet (or any other tethering app)
-Something to SSH into
I will post more detailed instructions with screenshots and such if anyone wants but for now ill just keep it simple. Make sure your phone is on 3/4G. Open ConnectBot and connect to your ssh server, bring up the options menu and select port forwarding. Setup a dynamic (socks) proxy on port 8080 (or w/e you feel like) now open proxydroid and set host to 127.0.0.1 and make sure to enable global proxy (this does not work on all phones if it does not work for you then there is not much you can do) now open up a browser and go to any of the various ip checking sites and make sure your ip is showing up as the ssh servers ip and not a mobile one. Now enable pda net and do the same from the tethered device. If the ip is showing up as the remote servers then congratulations you are now tethering and they cant see the packets going to anything but the phone because everything is contained within the SSH session. Meaning the TTL on packets will end at the phones WAN as they expect them to.
I have been doing this on AT&T for some time now (around a month) and so far they have not found out and all is well, hope this helps at least a few people good luck!

Hey, as long as we have our Freedom Fries, we're happy.

I tried following you instructions, but when I try to visit a website no connection is available. What ssh server are you using. Have any idea where I may have gone wrong?
Thanks
Has anyone been able to get this working. Whenever I select "Global Proxy" in ProxyDroid, I get no data. I changed the host to 127.0.0.1, but should I leave the port to default 3128 and Proxy Type to HTTP? Is there any other changes I should make in ProxyDroid? Thanks

Make sure you set the user agent on your computer browser to mobile. Had to do tethering for a client few days ago, and that was the problem. For Firefox and Chrome there are plugins for it.
Thanks for your response....I haven't gotten to the PC as yet. I am don't get any internet connection when I enabled ProxyDroid in with Global Proxy checked. And the OP said to make sure it is selected. So this is where I am stuck. Not sure whether I need to do any other configuration in regards to ProxyDroid. But thanks for your help.
