Germany | HTC Desire | AuraxTSense v7.6.1 ROM

Edit: I checked http://www.ip2location.com/ after activating "Tor Everything" in the options. It shows exactly the same IP and location as withour Tor/Orbot. (Tested with both, WiFi & Router & 3G/HSDPA/GSM in both cases it shows my actual IP & ISP via Thor)

Silly people

I do not think it is a good idea to run Pandora through proxy. Do not forget that proxy services are limited and they are served by volunteers.

Running pandora through proxy, would just overload proxy servers without a good reason.

There are people who can not get access to uncensored internet and idiots like you are slowing down proxy servers...
[Android General] gfacek:
Sure it does...its because only Pandora is set up to use orbot. When you also set up your browser to use orbot, then it shows the proxy-ip and location!

I found the torrc where you can set the ExitNodes...but didnt tested it yet!

/data/data/org.torproject.android/torrc

kind regards

get a private proxy if you want speed...

from my point of view you are slowing down my proxy... right there its a free-for-all, free proxys are equally slow for everyone...

Hey folks. I tried this trick on my Nexus One when I was using CM6 Stable and it worked like a charm on 2G & Wi-fi. I have now moved on to eViL-NXSense-v.1.13.1 and tried to use the same trick on 2G & unfortunately it doesn't work anymore. After using Orbot and checking Pandora, it states that it is not available in my country. Also I put a tick for internet in Orbot applications and when I went to http://www.ip2location.com/ it showed my actual IP address.

Can anyone confirm if this trick works on eViL-NXSense-v.1.13.1?
[Android General] phoenixdigital:
Does anyone know where or how to apply a config file to orbot as it runs?

I would like to add some config to force a US-ONLY exit node. Without this I have to keep restarting orbot and reconnect if I am given a non US exit node.

In tor for PCs you have to set the ExitNodes for example in torrc-file! But when I try this, tor won't start.

PureVPN... Cool! You made my day! I will investigate... but more for my home network as I am running a TVersity media server with PS3 as a client.
[Android General] fulanito108:
This is absolutely true, unless you proxy your home connection, you shouldn't waste tor network resources on streaming.

Just do it for proof of concept, then get VPN o ssh access on a US server.
[Android General] alenaski:
So why don't you get a private proxy? Cause your cause to stream audio is not legit - so you should pay for the privilege anyway...There are plenty of causes that are legit...

For those who have this working, what version of pandora, os, and orbot are you running?

orbot transparent proxy seems to be broken on froyo 2.2.1, at least on my nexus one. Ive gotten http traffic to proxy through orbot using the proxy setting in the APN config, but pandora still tells me im in the wrong country. is there to verify that pandora is sending traffic through tor?

pandora v1.5

orbot 1.0.4

froyo 2.2.1

nexus one
[Android General] gaelynx:
Got it working on my Galaxy S I9000M stock ROM (Android 2.1 update 1)

I'm using Pandora 1.4 and Orbot 1.0.4.

Additionally to adding Pandora to the Transparent Proxying Selected Apps, I also added "Copy IP" (an app you can find on the Market).

After switching On Orbot I run "Copy IP" then Copy External IP.

Then on the web browser I go to www.whatismyipaddress.com and paste the External IP there. This will show you where Pandora thinks you are.

If the Geolocation of the external IP is not in the USA then you have to switch Off Orbot and then back On and check the new Geolocation again.

After a few tries you should get a USA based IP address, then you can run Pandora.

Then as said in the first post, if after using Pandora for a while the message "Pandora is not available in your country" pops up, then use the back button once and you can continue to use Pandora.
[Android General] nyanmaru:
Thanks for the instructions, but my problem seems to be that Tor isnt tunneling any of my traffic unless i specifically set the APN proxy to localhost:8118. Even then it seems only the browser is using the proxy.

Anyone have Orbot working properly on 2.2.1?

[Android General] liqn7:
Does this only work for 3G and not Wifi?

On Wifi even with TOR on it detects my LAN IP (which is clearly not US)
[Android General] andd64:
Set exitnodes for US only addresses

As a previous poster said, you can edit the torrc file by (using rootexplorer), go to /data/data/org.torproject.android, hold click the torrc file, click "open in text editor", and add these two lines on the bottom

StrictExitNodes 1

exitnodes desync,whistlersmother,lefkada,bettyboop,croeso,TorLuwakOrg,nixnix,inap1,redpineapple,cronic,sasquatch,slowturtle2,moria1,moria2,torxmission,augrime,err,sasquatch,foundry,peertechdata

Make sure exitnodes and the rest are on one line. So two lines in total - otherwise orbot won't be able to start.

I tested turning orbot on and off three times, all three times i was able to get a US ip address.

I found these exit nodes from http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/...ra-veoh-abc-cw-from-outside-of-united-states/

hotspot shield alternative to orbot

Hi I couldn't use Orbot [I'm using the Darkstone Rom (DHD)] as it came up with the error that it couldn't connect to TOR so instead I downloaded VPN Connections 0.99 (which I think is freeware) and used the iphone settings from Hotspot Shield - [can't post the link but easy to look it up] to test it out and it seems to work (I used securephoneshield.com as the IP gateway address)...although having said that I am on Vodafone and the data connection is pretty bad and drops out (the data connection is actually a lot better on this beta rom than any other rom for me personally!). Hope this helps someone!
[Android General] kingfu:
Installed orbot on my HTC Desire, modified my torrc file, had root access etc...everything should of worked but it didn't. Orbot seemed to work fine (it connected to tor and the US servers I specified) but only way I could get it to route my traffic was by setting up the proxy settings in my mobile APN to point back at the tor service. But then that only worked for my browser traffic. Pandora still wouldn't work.

Anyway I found the solution...I flashed my HTC desire to OpenDesire and what do you know, it works.

Hope this might help someone!
[Android General] dinoc:
the same here the orbot seems to not work on my Froyo, too (phone from the signature)

[Android General] seamus24:
Trouble too with Orbot

I followed all the examples. Orbot appears to work... It bootstraps OK and tells me it is connected to the Tor network... BUT when I load up Pandora, I simply get blue start screen and nothing else.

When I "Check" Orbot, it takes me to the check.torproject website where I am told in bright red letters that I am not using Tor. I also check my ipaddress location and nothing is changed. Still in Toronto under Telus...

[Android General] dinoc:
I don't think orbot is working for anyone with Froyo ... I tried to report this bug somewhere but don't know where
[Android General] GlobaL_TroTTer:
Try this solution if orbot is not working
[Android General] dinoc:
I've managed to report this to tor project and here is the answer I've received:

"

on a non-rooted device, you need to take additional steps for Tor proxying to work.

If you are on a 3G network, you can set your Proxy settings within the mobile network APN configuration. Point it to localhost:8118 (Orbot's built in HTTP proxy).

You can also download Firefox for Android, and install the "Proxy Mobile" add-on within Firefox. This will configure Firefox to point to the Orbot proxy.

Otherwise, you can also try download the text-only browser "NDBrowser" from within the Market.

If you want the full power of Orbot, then you should root and flash your device with the latest CyanogenMOD firmware: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Flashing_CyanogenMod

[Android General] Ziostilon:
anybody try this node method now

Orbot wont start for me when im using this method following those exact nodes
[Android General] dinoc:
if Orbot is not working , it;s not worth trying Pandora.

For me Orbot seems to start fine gets from grey to green, but is not working.

If I check if the connection is proxied or not it tells me that I'm not using proxy .

So before trying Pandora you must make sure first Orbot is really doing it's job or not, for me it doesn't - and when I raised a bug for this

I got the answer from Tor guys (I've post it that answer on the other post of mine).

So it looks like Orbot is not suppose to work ok on Android, you need to have some special firmware .
[Android General] rock7632:
yep same thing for me
[Android General] dinoc:
From Orbot use Check function - it will open the browser to https://check.torproject.org

If in that browser it says "Sorry. You are not using Tor." then is worthless to try Pandora or anything else because will no work.

You need the solve/fix the Orbot issue first.

I tried orbot becomes green but check doesn't work, i tried vpnreactor and always stucks on blue screen.
[Android General] :
Thank you its you amazing ;)
[Android General] buddy1986:
Finally works!!! you have to use first tor and wait until it connect to the tor network (better if you force it to a us proxy like written before in this thread) then open asproxy (you can find it on the market but it's not free) and set proxy host:127.0.0.1 port:8118 wait until the button become green and then open pandora.. or easier set asproxy directly with a us proxy server
[Android General] mboergager:
Hey Buddy.. Could you explain in detail how exactly you set up asproxy?
[Android General] buddy1986:
I have just edited my post above, by the way this is the simplest way (than i prefer):

go to http://www.cool-proxy.net/ and choose a not anonymous us proxy with a good rating (example 124.45.42.6:80).

Open asproxy go to proxies tab choose your connection (if you use for the first time the progam you find your connection under the button in status tab) and set as proxy host the numbers before ":" (ex. 124.45.42.6) and as proxy port set the last numbers (ex. 80) now start us proxy poking the button in status tab. Whe it'll become green exit with home button (so the program will remain opened) and open pandora wait for a while and then it shoud work. ;)
[Android General] abhishek_turbo911:
Orbot is working fine. I using it on my EDGE connection :( yes here in india, 3g has just started and its very costly

Under the APN settings, i modified port to 127.0.0.1 and port to 8118

But the Pandora app v1.5.5 , just REMAINS at the BLUE SCREEN , it does not progress at all ... it shows nothing but the blue screen...

I have a vpn service, and i'm trying to get it running on my Acer Iconia tablet but i cant even download it from the market, says not available in my country. Vpn is connected and address shows up in the usa. Any ideas?
[Android General] maaristi:
In order to download the app from the market you should use "market enabler". It worked for me faking a T-mobile or Verizon sim card.

To acces pandora, you may need to kill the running process of the app. When pandra is not running, just connect to your us vpn. Make sure you have an us ip adress, go to url http://whatismyipaddress.com/ and you can where is your IP adress from.

If you have a US ip adress, just access to pandora and everything will work.

I'm loving pandora!
[Android General] buddy1986:
You can try with trasparent proxy app (you can download them from xda forum here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=766569), then go to for example http://www.cool-proxy.net/ looking for an US proxy (not anonymous) then set ip and port on trasparent proxy app-> enamble; then open pandora.

I hope it can be useful

[Android General] auldthief:
THANKX LUVGIRL12345/BTRAX! Works great when i'm on 3G, but not on wifi! when i try to run pandora using wifi (while orbot is active) it says "pandora is not available in your country". Any one got it working on wifi yet? what are the orbot settings you're using!

QUOTE=luvgirl12345;15714715]I know this is a rather old thread but Pandora is such a great service and I thought I would help all the music hungry souls that don't happen to live in the United States of America ;)

1. Go to orbot settings and open exit nodes.

2. Paste this text:

desync,whistlersmother,lefkada,bettyboop,croeso,TorLuwakOrg,nixnix,inap1,redpineapple,cronic,sasquatch,slowturtle2,moria1,moria2,torxmission,augrime,err,foundry,peertechdata,sasq,0xL37N1Tor,agrippator,3x0rcyst5p4dd3dc311,52c5eSH5,703server,allium,amendment10,Blackmage,BostonUCompSci

I'm not sure if all this is needed but these give you 99.99% (no guarantee) chance of a proxy located in the usa!!

3. Enable the Strict Nodes checkbox

4. Enjoy

5. Report back to let others know if it worked ;)

Disclaimer: All this does is get you a USA "node" (proxy or whatever you wanna call them) instead of a random one from anywhere in the whole wide world ;)

Please press the thanks button if this worked for you!![/QUOTE]

[Android General] kblee60:
From Singapore, using a rooted Samsung Ace on gingerbread 2.3.4,

I installed orbot. It worked on connecting to Tor network.

I downloaded Pandora 1.5.3 from mediafire.

Connecting to wifi, at first Pandora just freeze there, nothing happens.

I tried disconnecting orbot and then restart, nothing happens.

Reboot the phone and tried again.

Finally as I was about to give up, Pandora came through and ask for registration.:D
[Android General] kblee60:
I'm using this on my wifi at home so as not to incur phone data traffic.

For orbot (Tor network), you need to specify an exit node from a USA server.

Click on Exit Nodes and type the server name like Amulet1,Amulet2,Amulet3

Then tick Strict Nodes.

You can download Vidalia and run on your PC and View the Network.

Look for those servers from USA.

Example, I find Amulet1, Amulet2, Amulet3...etc

So these are the servers I can use since Pandora is looking for a US IP.

However, due to the transparent proxying, you need to wait for a while (maybe a couple of minutes), when Pandora is running.:p
[Android General] omzworld:

reviving old thread but pandora radio does not work for me using this method.

Orbot is successfully turned on and the transparent proxying is on. I selected pandora on the list of apps to router through the tor network.

Pandora starts up fine but i'm stuck at the "buffer 1%". Songs don't play and keeps looping back to the buffer and loading screen.

The only way pandora works for me is by starting Tor, turning on pandora and then turning Tor off.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

OK Guys,

There are lot of threads that have been created on this post. So just wanna rephrase everything to make sure, that I have understood it correctly, So fellow droidans please correct me if I wrong. I have not really understood everything so trying to me it simple for myself

To run Pandora on a device not officially supported by the device.

I have just bought a new phone about 2 days back, so how do I get it rooted ? I need to get my phone rooted right ? to be able to do this ?

Where will I find this Pandora radio apk, from where to get it / download it ?

Install Orbot or first install Pandora I am confused here because first installing Pandora it gives a message that Pandora is not available in your country

and doesnt allow me to download.

is that it now, will Pandora start working ??

Does it work the same way with all its features and functionalities as if someone was using it in a country where it was legally allowe or does it play minus some features and stations ?
