The app seems fairly small in size compared to orbot which is really old and also invizible pro seems to do a ton of things that including firewall vpn etc . So does it connect to tor network properly and pass all your traffic through it as good as orbot and completely block internet acces to not whitelisted services as good as rethink do ? Or does it cut cornors and do all the things but do all of them horribly ? Is it audited or atleast watched by enough people to be secure ? Anyway share your thoughts .
I think if the app does everything it boasts to do perfectly its one in a kind and unmatched and probably would make any android really really safe but i’m really skeptical . I have tried it out a month ago but ditched it after reading that its firewall does not work that well but idk if that is true or not anyway share your thoughts .
My well known non root smartphone hardening guide is based on the long term trustworthiness and capabilities of Invizible Pro (and NetGuard). I never recommend or touch projects that will go defunct unexpectedly, or have garbage persons developing behind it. Invizible is an amazing project which has had no equivalent for years now, FOSS or not. And it itself is FOSS, made out of other FOSS projects.
How would you rank it against rethink with wireguard ? Also if the tor connection for some reason suddenly stopped i heard the app doesn’t stop internet connection but just let you continue using your device without any protection including no firewall as they seem to need one other connection to run a firewall . Also how good’s the firewall itself compared to rethink does it block all system except the allowed apps ? I remember the firewall still letting me browse .
You must enable always-on VPN killswitch in Android VPN settings, and put Invizible in VPN or root mode, instead of proxy mode.
Rethink dev has spoken to me multiple times. He has made a very good app, even incorporated changes I recommended, but it can stop functioning at times abruptly, according to a fellow friend who tested it thoroughly. Invizible is more stable, so I am yet to change recommendation, since I recommend Invizible for heavier, hardcore setup and NetGuard for easier, relaxed setup. I am currently off of Invizible after 3ish years and daily drive testing NetGuard to see how well it is working.
Yep rethink dev is really responsive and it has kinda never stopped for me cause i put back up configs incase one goes down but still i have to trust the vpn provider which i kinda do but with tor i kinda don’t have to trust anyone which is tempting. And i did put it in vpn mode, the thing is i blocked my browser with invizible pro’s firewall but the browser still worked ?? which put me off but maybe i did it wrong ? I find invisible pro’s firewall too confusing for no reason like i woild just like it to be like in rethink’s . Maybe i should give it another try do you recommend i2p over tor incase one of them goes down or just tor ? I’m leaning towards just tor as maybe p2p will mess with Tor’s setup and cause privacy issues ? Anyway share your thoughts .
Tor and I2P have nothing to do with clearnet. And if you want to use Tor, use it through official Tor Browser or TailsOS.
You do know firefox can load onion sites right ?
As a Tor user since over a decade, I do know that I think. What I also know is Firefox is not one bit safe for Tor usage. Use the official Tor Browser or TailsOS.
And Firefox is not very secure for Tor usage. Tor Browser and TailsOS are the only proper tools to use Tor onion network.
