Title: Using Tor Browser on iPhone
Post by: WelshBoa on June 11, 2013, 08:37 pm
I was curious if I could access silk road through a tor browser on iphone/iPad.

When I want to check for PM responses its a pain waiting until I get home in night to check - clearly dont want to use Work PC haha but wondered if anyone does log on through phone.  I can see what appears to be a Tor app on APP STORE but limited feedback...

I have the onion browser on my iphone, however, not being a real tech kinda guy, i'm not sure if it's security is comparable to the tor browser for pc. I've only logged on once, and it was for the same reason you need to. It is extremely slow though

Hmm well that was my initial thought. Saying that I have used a 3G tether from my iphone to log onto Tor on my laptop - does that constitute same risk?

I use it on my pad, no prblems at all so far. Then again I'm not super security conscious.

What about an Android device?

I think it may be fine if your iphone is tethered or jailbroken. i was about to download it and then change my mind because im on AT&T. its not that serious for me.

Maybe I'm paranoid but I'd never go to Silk Road throught an iPhone or iPad, since I don't know what's going on these devices. But anyways I think you have to jailbreak your iPhone/iPad to use Tor, but I'm not sure.

Orbot on Android is excellent, especially when used with a rooted device.
