What port does Android Tor use? I have tested and found that it’s NOT 9150.
I’m asking this because Orbot doesn’t work with WebTunnel bridge.
Orbot is pretty hit and miss for me too. Mostly miss.
Do you mean Tor Browser for Android? It doesn’t use a port. It uses a unix socket. By default it’s located at /data/user/0/org.torproject.torbrowser/cache/tor-private/socks-ipc
I doubt without some serious hackery that you will be able to access that from any other app. If your phone is rooted, you might be able to make that file a softlink to somewhere public that different apps can access.
Yes, Orbot isnt quite good for me.
Well, why not start a feature request for a Systemwide Protection and Open Port mode for Tor Browser?
What issues are you facing with orbot?
No webtunnel spport and unstable UI. The UI is not very friendly, I believe.

I also use Wireguard on Android and orbot and Wireguard do not play nicely together at all. If I first shut down Wireguard then activate orbot, then sometimes I can get orbot to function. If I forget that process, or try and switch back and forth (for example to get around sites that block tor) then things get messy. Sometimes I lose all internet connectivity until I go through multiple iterations of turning both orbot and Wireguard off and/or cycling either or both.
Considering the (unfortunately growing) number of sites that block tor I would recommend better detection inside orbot of other active VPNs and for it to refuse to connect when one is on, and/or offer to turn the other off.
