Multiple proxy sttings

Post by joeshmo1982 »

I'm on an unrooted Nexus 7 and have been using ABP (localhos, port 2020). I recently started running Tor (Orbot) traffic through the android's wifi proxy setting. My question is, is there a way to run both ABP and Tor? As far as I can tell, there's only one option for a single proxyhost. I need two. I'm not opposed to installing any extra apps to help me accomplish this. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. First time.

Hey,

yeah thats a problem, on android you can only use one proxy, so you must decide between Tor and adblockplus.

Greetz,

Tor can setup with proxy, read the tor's document.
Im sure it can work with proxy.
Browser→tor→adblockplus proxy→tor network→website.

What does the last answer mean, in terms everybody can understand?

I have ADP on Firefox for Android, with Nexus 7 (2013).
I know I downloaded ADP immediately after downloading a browser (Firefox), when I bought it in late 2013.
I just went on Chrome - where I know I've also downloaded it - and now I see that I must configure to localhost and port 8118.

I use Orbot and DuckDuckGo with Firefox.
Only when I have problems with either DDG or FF (I assume browser the more likely culprit), I then go to Chrome where I can always access websites.

So, can I use both proxy settings?
Isn't Orbot port 9050?

Thank you.

You usually answer every question, but not now - and this is problematic.

On Nexus 7, not rooted, I use Orweb. I also use ADP. Occasionally, I get an error telling me ADP is waiting for port 2020 to open.
Most of the time, I get a message telling me that ADP is blocking ads.
Between ADP and Orbot, I would choose another browser, but the inconsistency is very strange.
Please provide a definitive answer as to IF you can use multiple proxies and if yes, as instructed by each app or is there a better way?

Thank you.
