 The transparent proxy of orbot doesn't run in my phone. It shows a error
 in the notification area.

 Yesterday, I decided review the debug log with adb and I found a (in my
 opinion) important problem in orbot.

 You're running the rules of iptables with "/whatever/iptables rules | |
 exit". I know that my problem is due to some iptables rules but I can't
 see the error because you hide the error using "| | exit".

 You can run each rule individually and check the exit code each time. I
 think my suggestion is better than the use of "| | exit" because with this
 orbot doesn't hide the errors.

 Sorry if I don't send a patch but my know about java code is near to 0 :)
