 Replying to [comment:1 n8fr8]:
 > Can you try using the Orbot VPN feature without the root/transproxy on
 and see if it behaves any differently?
 I used the vpn feature for two days now and it works way better than
 transparent proxying.
 What is the recommended way? What are the differences between VPN mode and
 transparent proxying?

 I already used Orfox before and it works like a charm. I use Firefox only
 for sites that do not work in Orfox because of scripts.
