For android (with/ without ROOT):
Open Orbot on your Android device. Do not start Tor-ing, yet.
Step 2 - Go to Settings. From where? Tap the little ‘wrench’ icon on the screen.
Step 3 - Scroll to the bottom of the Settings screen.
Step 4 - Look for the “Use Default Iptables” option and check it.Step 5 - Now go back and start Tor...ou are good to go just as it was before with now problems at all. Orbot (Tor) will work perfectly fine on your Android device. Just hope, your phone/tablet kernel supports Iptables.
