Orbot is an Android network anonymization tool designed to route mobile internet traffic through the Tor network. Its primary purpose is to hide a user's identity and location from websites by masking the originating network address.
The software enables users to bypass internet censorship to access blocked services and prevents trackers from identifying a mobile device. It provides a local SOCKS proxy configuration to force specific applications to send traffic through an encrypted tunnel.
The application utilizes the Android VPN service to capture device traffic at the network layer and integrates with the Tor binary to manage the routing process.
