[Feature Request] Route through Tor by default

Open Anvil5465 opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I like to use Orbot for all apps except a select few. When I install a new app, I would like for it to be routed through Orbot by default. Instead, the default is that it is routed through the clearnet.

Describe the Solution You'd Like It would be nice if there were a settings toggle to route traffic through orbot/tor by default, and manually select apps which you would like to be routed through the clearnet instead.

Describe the Alternatives You've Considered None

Additional Context None

The UI from the Wireguard app for Android can be used as inspiration for providing both opt-in and opt-out modes.

Of note, the Tor VPN which is now in beta provides this feature
