Orbot 17 -how to select country

Firstly Thx for this great app

Android 8

Thx in advance

Tina

Press the “… More” button, then go to “Settings” and “Exit Nodes”.
Enter the two-letter code for each desired country exit. For example, enter:
{ES},{DE},{FR}
to have Spain, Germany or France as exit nodes.

Also check “Strict Nodes” if you want to enforce this policy.

A choice for selecting the (one) exit node country also appears after connecting to the Tor network, under the “Connected” status, the entry named “Change exit”.

This is what I did

Don’t use the VPN. ONLY RUNNING BEHIND FIREWALL VPN

Did as you said
Still not connected, even after I press connect button.

The I swiped on the phone itself from the top down. There it said NOT CONNECTED

AFTER I connected from there everything was O.k.

Then I couldn’t see the complete start of Orbot screen.

Went into administrator menu and set
THE MINIMUM WIDTH
from 360 to 400
Only then I could see the complete Orbot front screen

Connected
Choose apps
Change exit
Refresh
Turn Tor off

Screen resolution 1080 x 1920
Screen density = 423 dpi

Are there any pdf manual for Orbot 17 with all specs

Thx a lot

Tina

Thank you for testing. I wasn’t aware of the problems on smaller screens.
Please note that Orbot version 17 is still in beta. It may be best to follow the development progress on the project’s GitHub issues page:

Thx for the speedy reply

Appreciated

Usually in the tor documentation it is said that selecting an exit node is not good for anonymity. So, why does orbot give an option to select an exit node?
