[Feature] Build-in Tor support
Orbot is great, but there are some limitations that prevents full adoption of Tor.
- Using Orbot as proxy (non-vpn mode) with Netguard prevents using Tor connection to electum server.
- It is not possible to open channels to Tor nodes.
- Adding Orbot into the setup creates additional complexity, which is in my opinion not needed.
The suggestion is to add native build-in Tor into the app.
Good reasons why:
- It will be much more convenient for the user.
- It is quite common in the space (for example Samourai has it, Phoenux has it, ...)
- It can be used with Orbot+Netguard setup. (By simply disabling the Netguards network rules for this app, thus whitelisting it.)

I'd like to make a lightning channel from eclair to my umbrel (lnd) node. It seems that TOR support will be needed for this? I hope that it can be added.
