Tor on mobile devices: How to be "completely" anonymous on mobile - Vicellus Drum - Oct 27, 2012
Alright, a lot of people have been coming to be with their ipads, ipods, android phones, iphones, etc telling me to put tor on it, then they don't have a clue how to use it properly. These are my instructions how to use tor on your mobile devices.
If you do not know what tor is, or how to use it, just read it up at Tor's site
ANDROID PHONES/Devices: does NOT have to be rooted
Now for androids, you will need to download a program called Orbot which is also created by Tor, just under an alternate name which is free to download on the android market

Once you have Orbot, you must set up the server properly
1)Open settings
2)Scroll down to "Outbound Network Proxy"

3)Type in "Socks4" on the Outbound Proxy Type

4)Type in "localhost" for the Outbound Proxy Host

Now you have Orbot fully ready to go, just hold down the giant power button, and it will set up your server
(*for some people you may need to check "relaying" under relays)
Now for it use the proxy server, you must
1)go to Settings
2)Wireless & Networks
3)Mobile Network settings
4)Access point names

6)Name whatever you want it to be called
7)APN [depends on your provider] just google APN name for [your network]

side notes
-Tor is NOT completely anonymous, so don't bother commenting on that, I was just referring to being more anonymous than being on your 4G/3G network.
For questions, feel free to comment/pm

The information that comes with packet data from cell towers is more than enough info for most police authorities.
That's what I used quotes around "completely". This was also before knowledge of FBI nodes in tor.
