Hey guys! So I've been desperately trying to connect to tor IRC servers through Orbot and has been failing quite a lot for now. Throughout all of my research, I was able to slowly build up a conclusion on my problem and it seems linked to the iptables... Here's all that happened (in short, of course ) :
I rooted my phone to make any IRC client work thanks to Orbot's transproxy setting.
I added my client to the list of the transproxy, but it didn't work; I tried three different clients: AndChat, AndroIRC and YAAIC, I always got the unresolved Host error.
Thinking it might be a problem with tor, I set up firefox to use the orbot proxy: it worked, which means orbot works perfectly.
I tried connecting to clearnet irc servers with orbot turned on and it worked, so the clients aren't the problem themselves.
At that point, it seems like the irc clients don't connect to the orbot DNS.
I removed AndroIRC from the transproxy list and used the in-app SOCKS proxy settings to try and connect to orbot (similar to firefox, except with the port 9050 and not 8118), but it didn't work. I tried it again with AndroIRC in the transproxy list and it didn't work.
Around that time, I found this thread; since it seemed close to my problem, I decided to give it a try.
I realized in the midst of the action that the folder /data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin/ did not contain a iptables file. I still followed the tutorial to the end, therefore creating an iptables file.
And so, here I am, and it still doesn't work. I'm using an Xperia U with Android 4.0, Orbot 14.1.4-noPIE(Tor 0.2.5.10-openssl1.0.1i-nonPIE-polipofix) and I can't connect to tor with IRC. Does anyone have an idea of what's even happening here and/or how this could be solved?
Since no one answered, I'll bump hoping someone has a solution...

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 tried to google abit, but its pretty useless.
Okey, I got a vpn server, or in fact I got 3, mainly I got a pfsense for the desire CM openvpn roadwarrior setup, and runs site to site vpn setups.
vpn IS working, no issues with the vpn.
I can ping all my subnets, I force my traffic throught the VPN and get ping to for example 8.8.8.8, tracepathing shows route as 10.0.61.1->192.168.40.1->192.168.51.1(wan router)->WAN!
Okey everything is good.
not quite, DNS, I have tried to set dns in pfsense 2.0 RC1 which is what my wan router runs, tried no dns search string, with, dns servers pushed by ovpn server, and tried no pushing dns at all.
where is config files for ovpn or is it a issue with forcing traffic through vpn with CM's implimentation of ovpn.
I'm abit noob to android in general, and I just use alot of time navigating due to lack of commands i'm familiar with on server boxes.
And I'm sorry if it's not the right section, and/or if it really is a "noob" question.
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.
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.
And fat.
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.
