Set Up Tor on iPhone

Anonymize all your iPhone traffic with Orbot and connect SimpleX via .onion.

$ [1/4] orbot --install

Open the App Store

Search for "Orbot" (by Guardian Project)

Install and open

Orbot asks for VPN permission - Allow

$ [2/4] orbot --start --mode vpn

Tap the big "Start" button

Wait until "Connected" appears (10-30 seconds)

The VPN icon appears in the status bar

Now EVERYTHING routes through Tor

$ [3/4] simplex --config --transport onion

Open SimpleX Chat

Go to Settings > Network & servers

Enable "Connect via SOCKS proxy"

Host: 127.0.0.1 / Port: 9050

Enable ".onion hosts: Required"

$ [4/4] verify --connection

Send a test message to a contact

If it works: You're connected via Tor

Your ISP sees only: Encrypted Tor traffic

SimpleX servers see only: A Tor exit IP

Maximum anonymity achieved.
