Very useful. Keeps apps I don't want on the internet from ever connecting with its firewall. Torify your whole phone, runs all internet through the Tor network and at will you can change the circuit. Also has DNScrypt so that all your web searches are encrypted and can't be monitored accurately by intrusive ovservers. Blocks ads and many more features that are damn near mandatory for privacy lovers. All while being FOSS.

You can also download from F-Droid or Droidify.

I love it. It's very useful.

Would be nice if they put a link to F-Droid as well, and not only G Play store. That would even make more sense since some of their features are labelled as "Not available in Google Play version!"

Here is their F-Droid link: https://f-droid.org/packages/pan.alexander.tordnscrypt.stable

I feel like a lot of these open source software developers have to put it on the Play Store for exposure, especially if they're just starting out or need to build their base. It's unfortunate because the Play Store usually restricts them ironically.
