About this app

Beta release: The VPN that fights back Tor VPN Beta puts control back in your hands when others try to cut you off from the world. This early-access release is for users who want to help shape the future of mobile privacy and can do safely.

What can Tor VPN Beta do?

• Network-level privacy: Tor VPN hides your real IP address and location from the apps and services you use–and from anyone watching your connection.

• Per-app routing: You choose which apps are routed through Tor. Each app gets its own Tor circuit and exit IP, preventing network observers from connecting all of your online activity.

• App-level censorship resistance: When access is blocked, Tor VPN may help reconnect your essential apps to the internet. (Beta limitation: This early access version has limited anti-censorship capabilities and users may face connection issues)

• Built on Arti: Tor VPN uses Tor's next-generation Rust implementation. That means safer memory handling, modern code architecture, and a stronger security foundation than legacy C-Tor tools.

Who is Tor VPN Beta for? Tor VPN Beta is an early-access release and not suitable for high-risk users or sensitive use-cases during the beta period.

Tor VPN Beta is for early adopters who want to help shape mobile privacy and can do so safely. Users should expect bugs and report issues. If you're ready to test, bring the app to its limits, and share feedback, we'd love your help tipping the scales toward a freer internet.

Important limitations (PLEASE READ) Tor VPN is not a silver bullet either: Some Android platform data can still identify your device; no VPN can fully prevent this. If you face extreme surveillance risks, we recommend against using Tor VPN Beta.

Not all of Tor's anti-censorship features are implemented yet. Users in heavily censored regions might not be able to use Tor VPN Beta to connect to Tor or the internet.

Installation Guide

1

Open Settings on your Android device

2

Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)

3

Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager

4

Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder

5

Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete

6

Launch the app from your home screen

Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.

How to install this safely

How to verify the file you downloaded

Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.

What the signing certificate proves

Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be org.torproject.vpn is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.

How to roll back to an earlier version

If the current release misbehaves, 1.8.0Beta-armeabi-v7a is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Tor VPN Beta first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.

Why we list sources instead of hosting everything

The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Tor VPN Beta, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
