In Android on my phone I can use orbot as a vpn. Is it possible to use that vpn for the chrome-browser itself when running orbot in play-store/android?

VPN

As per the question.

Can I direct the traffic of chrome-browser through orbot? If so… how?

Thanks.

I don’t think it’s always been that way, but recently when I’ve used the Android app version of a VPN, it routes all traffic for the Chromebook through it versus just Android traffic. Not sure when it changed but as a Private Internet Access enjoyer it made me very happy as there’s not a good non-android way to use it on a Chromebook.

Are you sure it works like that? When I go to check.torproject.org the chrome-browser says it is not secured. Do I need to redirect traffic somewhere?

Install it just like you do in your phone

It’s been a while since I last tried but it’s how I secured my web browser when I needed it. Unfortunately I won’t be with my CB until Monday to confirm but can reply when I’m able. I didn’t have to do anything to route the traffic it just worked

Then I can start the android version of chrome-browser and go to check.torproject.org and it shows tor working, but if I go to the same site in the main chromeOS browser it states “Sorry. You are not using Tor.”.

Do you maybe configure something? VPN?

Does tor use androids VPN function, it should Work,.as I’ve used android vpns In my duet before

My HP360 does not use the android-VPN in chromeOS’s ChromeBrowser, while orbot is working fine in android firefox, brave, chrome etc…

I am not sure if it is just a setting.

by “androids vpn” function, on an android device does it register as a vpn or something else, cus if its a vpn, it should work. the vpn settings on chromeos are in the quicksettings
