i use orbot with afwall

APP > VPN (ORBOT) -> POLIPO -> TOR -> INTERNET ?

  1. set afwall to allow prefered apps traffic on vpn
  2. set afwall to allow orbot traffic on vpn and wifi ( desired connection to internet)
  3. set affwall to use system iptables
  4. enable in orbot vpn
  5. set orbot to use system iptables
  6. set no network sleep
  7. set allowed applications for orbot

and i got some issues

  1. granting permission for app to allow vpn connection in orbot & firewall (applied only on reboot)
    see also:
    gui for ssh ukanth/afwall#491 (comment)
    gui for ssh ukanth/afwall#491 (comment)

  2. orbot is not indicating network traffic but apps are working ( internet connection works)
    (circuits are closed - no route and trafic is shown in orbot notification also in logs (circuit closed))

seems like orbot is leaking connection see pic 3
1) i can use all apps - those which are enabled in my iptbless (via afwall)
2) my ip is not tor ip
sugesstion - orbot to ensure that tor service is working properly and connection to circuit is made / polipo is working correctly - before allow any data on vpn !!!

  1. after some intensive use orbot/tor behave weird as overloaded

4)mixing bridges / nodes mode (changing from one to other) results in overloading and weird behavior)

  1. when i start orbot (go to home-screen with back button or home ) to other app and go back to orbot its initializing itself as there was no start before ( polipo / new circuit new listener etc )

  2. how i can be sure that tor is working properly (apps are using tor and traffic is not leaking somehow - i mean not to check on orbot start but after some time of work with orbot/tor ) ?

  3. orfox has build in polipo tor service ?(as i dont start orbot orfox is working) ?
    (does this not influencing orbot work - closing opening ports and services ?)

  4. in above setting scenario how i can be sure that traffic sends to polipo is going thru tor ? if some app didn't kill polipo and sets its own (as spoofing)

  5. what about doze mode for orbot / tor (how is(is it) handling it) ?
