A Mobile Browser For The Truly Paranoid - TechCrunch

Attention dissidents, free-thinkers or just people who are plain on the run: now you can take your iPad with you and not get caught. - Cult of Mac

if you're going to be your freaky online-self on your phone, at least cover your tracks. - Gizmodo

Features/Benefits:

Internet access tunneled over the Tor onion router network:
- Websites do not see your real IP address.
- Your connection is encrypted before it leaves your device, providing protection against snooping by ISPs or people who share a WiFi connection with you.
- Tunnel bypasses restrictive firewalls: you can access the entire Internet from behind ISPs or corporate connections, or when inside countries that practice online censorship.
- Access websites on the "dark net" of anonymous .onion web sites, only accessible in the Tor network.

User-Agent spoofing: hides the fact that you are using an iPhone/iPad from websites you visit.

Ability to block third party cookies or all cookies.

Can change IP address and clear cookies/history/cache in one button.

Please note, web browsing through the anonymization network will be significantly slower than through a non-tunneled browser.

See onionbrowser.com for more information & privacy caveats.

CHINA/IRAN USERS NOTE: Due to online censorship techniques using deep-packet inspection (DPI), this app does NOT currently function in China or Iran.

Customer Reviews

Essential Web Utility (5 stars)
This is an excellent app to have in the tool-box. It took a long time for any Tor-enabled browsers to start appearing in the App Store, and Onion Browser is definitely the one to get. Tor-enabled browsers are the most accessible and effective means of anonymizing one's Internet browsing available to the general public.

Keep in mind that it will be slower than other browsers because it is actually encrypting your web-traffic, but if
