Howdy Comrades! I spent the morning working with the new Tor VPN that’s still in beta testing on the play store. However, I could not get it above 5 Mbps. I get 100 MBPS split tunneling VPN on Mullvad. I tried the built in bridges, personal bridges it gives you, no bridges and yeah. Nothing helped. Only 5 Mbps with 200 ping.
Tor is not a VPN, so something calling itself “Tor VPN” is ringing alarm bells. Is it official? Who developed it?
edit: Yes, it’s official - https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/vpn/
I was confused since I didn’t understand the difference between it and Orbot, and misunderstood its name.
it’s official.
That’s normal. What could you possibly be doing over tor that five million bits per second isn’t fast enough?
Unrelated: does split tunneling reduce VPN speed?
I just wanted to test Tor VPN but surprise, surprise: “Check that Google Play is enabled on your device…” that’s a big NO for me. Uninstalled.
Yeah they’re intending for that to be used by Graphene users with play services sandboxes.
