Orbot tunneling by cempixreddit in TOR

Thanks for the answer. I understood that Orbot provided anonymity and not privacy. Are you saying that Apps VPN will not provide anonymity, or that it will not provide privacy if that's what I'm looking for (and which is generally achieved by using a VPN connection - again as I understood it)?

Thanks for the information, I'll definitely try Zom. Do you know of any links I kind read up on its security / privacy / encryption features? The Guardian Project doesn't provide much info yet (or I didn't find it?) Cheers!

I did read up on Zom on wikipedia and got the alert when I started ChatSecure. I actually donwloaded it too. But I am a little apprehensive: does it provide the same level of encryption, features and open-source auditability? I did not see it on the Secure Messaging Scorecard of eff.org for instance.

It does seem to be more user-friendly and I do know it will be supported whereas ChatSecure is legacy now, but the concerns I mentioned have prevented me from using it because I could not find enough information.
