MATERIALS

1. A rooted android phone.

make sure you install the browser and the Orbot apps before you start and you have MTN APN settings already set up in the phone. finally, make sure your phone is rooted.

1. create a new APN with these settings
APN = blackberry.net
proxy = blank
port = blank or 8580
name = web
= web

2. save it and make it your default settings.

3. install Orbot and dolphin browser mini.

4. in Orbit settings, tick Tor everything, transparent proxy, Tor tethering

Hmmm, why don't u just activate zain social month plan , it comes with a 1gb package, u can use it without having to root or any special settings, I used it on my mt3g, Htc wildfire and Htc incredible S. I now use an iPhone 4 and it works on it

would any of these work for an ipad?
indigold2010(m): 10:07pm On May 20, 2012
It works on my iPhone 4 flawlessly . So should work on d iPad, unlimited? That's true. But one question, seems like only browsing works from ur explanation , will my other social apps work? E.g Facebook, twitter, tagged, badoo etc

quick question u can use any bis plan for this and do u activate the plan on a blackberry before using the sim on your phone ?

Thanks poster I will try yours. I previously tried changing my DNS using "set dns". Cos changing DNS makes it work on symbian. But it never worked.

Will try yours when I get home.

you don't need a bb to active a BIS plan. simply send the code from a normal phone.good to know it works on IOS. most apps work with it.making a list of those that don't and how to overcome that.got another hack that doesn't require a BIS plan but doesn't allow tethering. further work will continue over the weekend

Probably. Go to your droidwall menu and make sure Orbot is excepted (I tick mine, but it depends on the way you setup your Droidwall).
Brisingr(m): 1:44pm On May 21, 2012
@androblaze i did dat too
i just realised there is no tor tethering on my tor setting.does this affect the tweak i use a sg2
Brisingr(m): 1:48pm On May 21, 2012

Please, for those of you that have tried it, if it actually works, I think it's not too much to acknowledge the contribution of the OP.
