I now I can install orbot and select app by app to use socksv5 in the port 9050. But is there a way to have system wide onion routing in android without having to change the configuration for every app?

  • You need root.
  • Orbot tutorial
  • You can use ProtonVPN to route all your traffic through the Tor network. They have a couple options for it. I think you need a paid plan, this is however easiest and most reliable solution. Because Android has some restrictions.

It is NOT necessary to send everything through TOR, and things like streaming Netflix or torrent downloads are (IMO) a poor use of TOR. Keeü in mind that the moment the ISP noticed - unusual - traffic, he might start throttle our connection.
