This is the string I use for scramblesuit, copied directly from the bridges.tp.o page: scramblesuit xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx fingerprintxxx password=sharedsecretxxx >I installed Orbot-v14.0.0-ALPHA-2a.apk and checked the Preferences >menu.

Yes this is a better design. We will be working on more ways to simplify bridge setup including qrcode scanning, NFC tapping and more. +n -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
