Tor（洋葱路由器(Onion Router)）由全球的志愿者维护，其主要关注点是隐私(mind –) 安全(privacy security)。Tor的目的是提供比标准 Web 上通常提供的更安全、更安全的环境(secure environment)，它通过使用多层加密来实现这一点。
Onion Router默认使用Firefox 搜索(Firefox search)引擎，为想要在线购物的消费者提供了另一种选择，而不必担心黑客会窃取他们的私人信息或个人身份。在更加需要在线安全的时代，越来越多的人成为Tor用户。
从个人计算机访问深层网络(Accessing the deep web)实际上非常简单。您真正需要做的就是安装Tor 浏览器(Tor browser)或插件。但是从Android 设备(Android device)呢？您可以决定下载Google Play 商店(Google Play Store)提供的众多Tor应用程序中的任何一个。其中一些还提供了附加的 VPN 安全性(added VPN security)。
但是，要获得完整的Tor 体验(Tor experience)，您需要下载并安装三个单独的应用程序。您还需要 root 和越狱您的手机以启用第三方应用程序安装。
如何在 Android 上设置和使用 Tor
在我们进入Tor所需的应用程序之前，我们必须首先确保您的Android 设备(Android device)已植根。
如果您熟悉Windows Explorer，请将根目录(root )视为设备的C:\ :。默认情况下， Android(Android doesn)不允许您访问此功能，以防止用户意外删除重要文件。但是，要通过设备访问Tor，您需要完成它。
生根您的设备(Rooting Your Device)
您如何植根设备将取决于您拥有的设备型号(device model)。由于(Due)有多个device model，因此没有一个通用的方法可以将它们全部生根。你最好的选择是对你的手机型号进行一些在线研究，以及如何去生根。
越狱(Jailbreaking)
越狱(Jailbreaking)是一个奇怪的术语，因为它让你看起来像是在做非法的事情。不是这种情况。您所做的只是让您的设备能够从Google Play 商店(Google Play Store)中找不到的来源安装应用程序。
该过程很简单，但取决于您的Android 设备运行的(Android device)操作系统(operating system)版本。
对于 Android Nougat 及更早版本：(For Android Nougat & earlier:)
措辞可能因版本而异，但基本工作流程保持不变。
- 进入手机的设置(Settings )，然后点击打开安全(Security)性。
- 切换Unknown Sources选项并使用(Unknown Sources)OK验证更改。
对于 Android Oreo 及更高版本：(For Android Oreo & later:)
不再需要在“设置”中乱搞。(Settings )任何未通过Google Play 商店下载的内容都会通过(Google Play Store)确认对话框(confirmation dialog)提示您。单击(Click)以启用从未知来源(Unknown Source)安装，一切顺利。
OrWall 应用程序(The OrWall App)(The OrWall App)
无论何时传输数据 ，OrWall 都会强制您所有Android 设备(Android device)的应用程序使用Tor 网络。(Tor network)
- 点击(Click)链接下载APK文件(APK file)，并安装。
- 安装后，运行设置，然后重新启动设备。
- 当设备备份时，您可以启动OrWall并手动决定您的哪些应用程序将通过Tor传输其数据。
OrBot 应用程序(The OrBot App)(The OrBot App)
OrBot是从您的设备到Tor 网络(Tor network)的桥梁。该应用程序也可以在Google Play 商店(Google Play Store)中找到，但提供的链接直接来自开发者的(the developer’s)网站。
下载并安装应用程序后，完成设置向导(setup wizard)。这应该只在第一次设置OrBot时发生。所有后续激活都可以通过应用程序中的电源按钮(Power button)完成。
OrFox 应用程序(The OrFox App)(The OrFox App)
OrFox是为Orbot创建的配套浏览器(companion browser)，也是由Guardian Project的伟人开发的。OrBot提供Tor 连接(Tor connection)，而 OrFox(OrFox)是(OrBot)您在信息高速公路(information superhighway)上行驶时使用的交通工具。换句话说，OrFox是您的Tor 浏览器(Tor browser)，如果您还没有猜到，使用的浏览器是Firefox。
除了依赖OrBot(OrBot)之外，该应用程序在使用前无需进行任何设置。您只需启动它并等待“成功”提示(” prompt)，让您知道您已连接。OrFox确实提供了绕过大多数在线限制的好处。因此，如果您目前在办公室(work office)无法访问某些网站，您和OrFox可能会成为最好的朋友。
OrWeb是(OrWeb)Android版(Android)Tor 浏览器(Tor Browser)的基本版本，随着OrFox的发布而过时。OrWeb作为 OrBot 下载和安装的默认(OrBot)浏览(download and installation)器提供(default browser)，但包含许多限制。确保您购买OrFox以与OrBot一起使用，以免您的(OrBot)Tor 浏览(Tor browsing)功能受到限制。
How To Set Up & Use Tor On Android
Tor (The Onion Router) is maintained by volunteers around the globe with one primary focus in mind – privacy security. The purpose of Tor is to offer a safer, more secure environment than is typically offered on the standard web, and it does this by using multi-layer encryption.
The Onion Router uses the Firefox search engine as default, and provides an alternative to consumers who want to shop online without worrying that a hacker is going to steal their private information or personal identity. At a time where online security is even more necessary, more and more people are becoming Tor users.
Accessing the deep web is actually quite simple from a personal computer. All you really need to do is install the Tor browser or a plugin. But what about from an Android device? You could decide to download any one of the numerous Tor applications that the Google Play Store offers. Some of them also come with offers of added VPN security.
However, to get the full Tor experience, you’ll need to download and install three separate apps. You’ll also need to root and jailbreak your phone to enable third-party app installation.
How To Set Up & Use Tor On Android
Before we get into the apps necessary for Tor, we must first make sure that your Android device is rooted.
If you’re familiar with Windows Explorer, think of the root as the C:\ of your device. Android doesn’t allow you to access this by default to keep users from accidentally deleting important files. However, to access Tor through the device, you’re going to need to get it done.
Rooting Your Device
How you go about rooting your device will be determined by which device model you own. Due to there being multiple device models, there isn’t a universal method for rooting them all. Your best bet is to do a bit of online research on the model of your phone and how to go about rooting it.
Jailbreaking
Jailbreaking is an odd term to use, as it makes it seem like you’re doing something illegal. This is not the case. All you’re doing is enabling your device to be able to install apps from sources not found in the Google Play Store.
The process is a simple one, but will depend on the version of operating system your Android device is running.
For Android Nougat & earlier:
The wording may vary from version to version but the basic workflow remains the same.
- Head into the Settings of your phone and tap to open Security.
- Toggle on the Unknown Sources option and verify the changes with OK.
For Android Oreo & later:
Mucking around in Settings is no longer necessary. Anything not downloaded through the Google Play Store will prompt you with a confirmation dialog. Click to enable installation from an Unknown Source and you’re good to go.
OrWall forces all of your Android device’s apps to use the Tor network whenever data is transmitted.
- Click the link to download the APK file, and install it.
- Once installed, run through the setup, and reboot your device.
- When the device is back up, you can launch OrWall and manually decide which of your apps will have their data transmitted through Tor.
OrBot is the bridge from your device into the Tor network. The app can also be found in the Google Play Store but the link provided comes directly from the developer’s site.
After the app has been downloaded and installed, complete the setup wizard. This should only ever occur when setting OrBot up for the first time. All subsequent activations can be done from the Power button located in the app.
OrFox is the companion browser created for Orbot, also developed by the great folks over at the Guardian Project. Where OrBot provides the Tor connection, OrFox is the vehicle you’ll use while traveling the information superhighway. In other words, OrFox is your Tor browser and, if you couldn’t already guess, the browser used is Firefox.
The app has no required setup prior to use other than a reliance on OrBot. You simply launch it and await the “success” prompt letting you know you’re connected. OrFox does provide the bonus of getting around most online restrictions. So if you’re currently in your work office unable to access certain sites, you and OrFox may just become the best of friends.
OrWeb, which is a basic version of the Tor Browser for Android, was made obsolete with the release of OrFox. OrWeb comes as the default browser with the download and installation of OrBot but contains many limitations. Ensure that you acquire OrFox for use with OrBot so as not to be limited in your Tor browsing capabilities.
