Android APP can't use tor, Add-On error shown on home page

This is related to missing config parameters in Orbot. If you don't have it installed download it from the playstore. Then go to Orbot > Settings > Torrc Custom Config and add these lines:

ControlPort 9051
CookieAuthentication 1

hi,

sorry to necro this issue but I try the Torrc Config and still get a TOR: ERROR with an access denied on ZeroNet on

/data/data/org.torproject.android/app_data/control_auth_cookie

how to fix this one?

thank you

This is likely because the ZeroNet app does not have permission to access the tor app's cookie file, so it seems this authentication strategy doesn't work

I'm unsure whether it's possible to use password authentication for tor in zeronet, as this could be used to bypass this limitation

@shortcutme Could you help?

Yes, you can use password authentication: https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet/commit/a3f62f56f6d6d2bb14b0c162cc1e9ba716d593e4
