TOR Project with The Guardian Project develop many applications for mobile device dedicated to anonymity and circumventing Internet censorship. Orbot, Orweb brouser etc are few applications of them.

Orbot is a official TOR client for Android devices, Which enable you connect to the TOR network on the move. Although you can configure your all application to access TOR network via Orbot, Orweb (browser) and Gibberbot ( IM client) are the specially developed to work with Orbot. 

On Rooted device with  iptables-capable ROM, Orbot can  transparently proxy all TCP tra

ffic. That means These rooted device your all applications can be forced to use TOR network, but if your deviceis not rooted you will have to  manually configure HTTP or SOCKS proxy settings for 

specific applications.  But don’t worry, if you don’t want to dirty your hand in these technical 

 

things. Using Orweb browser and Giggerbot IM client you can filly enjoy anonymity and circumvent internet censorship.

Other than Orweb browser, Orbot can also work on firefox browser for android with the help of Add-on named proxymob,  it’s also developed by The Guardian Project. But sadly proxymob doesn’t work with latest version of Firefox browser for mobile.
