I was going to leave a comment on the linked page that a link to the project's budget should be prominent. I couldn't, because to do so, I had to either login via discord or github. Seems a bit ironic.
Am I wrong to assume that Tor is effectively a US government project at this point? It may allow people to bypass local internet controls (in some cases including government-imposed internet controls), but I would assume it is not truly anonymous.

On iOS, Tor used to recommend using the Onion browser (they probably still do, I haven't checked). Some time ago, the onion browser changed how it connects to the Tor network to use Orbot instead of connecting directly. I can not help but see this as a malicious change. Orbot directs all traffic from my phone through the Tor network. If an iPhone is secretly pinging some backend server for telemetry / looking for aut…

If you're the kind of guy who worries about the kind of entities who can ask Apple for information and get it, you probably should not be using an iPhone to begin with.

The new non-deprecated iOS APIs does not allow per-webview proxying/vpning.

Also, you can disable Orbot for non onion traffic, or enable it for all traffic. Either way, not a good situation on iOS world at all.

I hate this response. Not wanting your belongings to leak private information about you is not a desire only elite global hackers have. It should be the norm, especially when law enforcement routinely abuses their authority, double especially when the third party doctrine lets them get the data without a warrant, and triple especially in the age of global mass surveillance.

If you can’t protect non-Tor users from wrongful classification by the government, then you dang well better protect the privacy of everyone, whether you like it or not.

It should be the norm, but it is what it is. I hate to have to give a response like this.
