Cool! I can give a little bit of help and guidance if you want

Sure! Is there a link so I can get started?

Yes, you'll just need to translate the strings in this file: 📃.xml

How much GitHub experience do you have?

Just a little. Do I need to fork it to be able to translate?

That'll make things easier, yes, but it's not essential... you could save a local copy and edit that if you prefer

Okey! I’ll look into it tomorrow! If I need more help I let you know. Thanks!

Varsågod!

Haha mycket bra🤝

I’m done with the translation but I did I local. So how do I do now? I’ve clicked around on Git but I not sure what I’m doing😅

Idk if it's possible but can we connect to .onion relay even without orbot running for whole phone?

Yes, you can run orbot without the VPN option

You can easily install Tor and create a hidden service for your local node. Docker makes it a bit trickier tho. Does embassyOS have a Tor package you can install? If it's integrated you're sorted. If not, you'll have to look up routing Tor to a Docker container.

It does everything over tor by default, meaning to use one’s own relay running on it, the nostr client needs to be able to connect to a .onion relay address, right #[7]​ ?

Yes, your relay is already hosted on Tor. You need a client that can connect to relays over Tor, but mostly this is just a matter of configuring your browser properly.

#[6]​ can we add .onion relays to amethyst?

No idea. Can you?

I mean without orbot running as a tor vpn over whole phone

No, you have to have Orbot running for now. But you don't need to activate Orbot for all apps. If I understand correctly, you can select which apps you want to use it for.

Also can we add relays in a private manner? How to backup my content to my own relay without telling the whole network that I’m connected to that address?

Yes but phone can only do one vpn at a time and it’s currently being used for non tor, so would be awesome to have built in tor in this way 🙏 at your coding speed I bet it would take maybe 40 min 😅

Humm that's a new one.

you can use orbot tor-mode only dont have to have orbot vpn turned on afaik, no?

I am not sure if it doesn't run in the same issue. The VPN setup is good because it remains alive. If we import a Tor library, the phone will kill the connection and thus every time somebody resumes the app it will take a few seconds to connect to Tor...

* proxy setup.. the VPN is supposed to be optional with Orbot.

I’ll play with it later, thanks

I turned on orbot and did NOT configure it to run in VPN mode and then I configured amethyst to use tor (on port 9050 which orbot is bound to by default) and it's working perfectly. None of the other traffic on my phone is going through tor. Any app that is proxy-aware could send its traffic to port 9050 to use tor without the rest of the traffic on the phone using tor. @Vitor Pamplona thanks for making Amethyst usable over tor - that's a great feature.

Add the IzzyOnDroid repo. It's quicker to just grab the latest release off GitHub tho.

Put a bounty up. Let's see if a dev wants to take it on. Right now, no one is working on this.

thanks
