Hi Adam,<div><br></div><div>I just bought an OpenMoko, and have been meaning to try Android on it. I would like to get Tor running on Android. I also have an HTC Dream that I've been meaning to convert to linux for awhile now. If you have some instructions on how to do this, I would very much appreciate it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Have you tried using iptables and Tor's TransPort/DNSPort to re-route your traffic through Tor since the web browser doesn't support SOCKS?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>

Just for lark, more than anything else, I built Tor on Android and<br>
have it running on a (release) HTC Dream:<br>
<br>
$ ./tor -f torrc<br>
Dec 28 12:40:33.468 [notice] Tor v0.2.0.32 (r17346). This is<br>
experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity.<br>
(Running on Linux armv6l)<br>
Dec 28 12:40:33.478 [notice] Initialized libevent version 1.4.9-stable<br>
using method epoll. Good.<br>
Dec 28 12:40:33.480 [notice] Opening Socks listener on <a href="http://127.0.0.1:9050" target="_blank">127.0.0.1:9050</a><br>
<br>
The native web browser doesn't have support for SOCKS proxies, only<br>
HTTP proxies, so one would have to add a HTTP->SOCKS proxy in the mix<br>
to get it working. However, I did test it with Firefox routing SOCKS<br>
requests over a USB link to Tor running on the phone. The 3G latencies<br>
and limited CPU power make for a pretty slow result, but it does work.<br>
<br>
It's back to work tomorrow, so this is probably as far as I'll take<br>
it. If anyone wants the binaries or build instructions (I didn't do<br>
anything shockingly odd), let me know.<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
