Tor on Android

[Kyle Williams]

Hi Adam,
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.

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?

Best regards,

Kyle
