About Torzon Onion Mobile Access
An independent mobile access reference in front of the Torzon onion service. Operating since 2022, it documents how to reach Torzon from a phone - Orbot on Android, Onion Browser on iOS, QR-imported bridges and handset PGP verification - for users whose only device is the one in their pocket.
What this reference does
We document how to reach the Torzon onion service from a mobile device when a carrier or filtered Wi-Fi is hostile to direct Tor. We do not run the marketplace, hold escrow, vet vendors or process any transaction. The reference exists so that a carrier-level block or a locked-down network does not become the reason a phone-only user cannot reach an onion service.
Operating principles
The decisions that shape every page, mobile setting and bridge bundle we publish.
Verifiable, not promotional
Every onion address ships with a PGP-signed manifest. Every mobile setting we recommend was reproduced on a real handset behind the kind of carrier we say it defeats. Where a claim cannot be verified on a phone, we omit it.
No data exhaust
No accounts, no cookies, no analytics, no third-party scripts, no CDN. Fonts and icons are served from this domain. The only network conversation a visitor has is HTTPS to torzon-onion.one and whatever they choose to do after leaving.
Adversarial neutrality
We document mobile techniques that defeat censorship. Whose censorship is not our concern. The same Orbot bridge that helps a journalist on a hostile carrier helps a student on a locked-down campus network - and we describe both honestly.
Mobile connectivity milestones
Visible changes in the mobile access surface. Marketplace milestones, vendor numbers and revenue figures are not ours to publish.
First published mirror address and signed obfs4 bridge list, with the earliest Orbot walkthrough for Android. The PGP fingerprint for the address manifest was generated and remains in use.
Added an iOS track after demand from iPhone-only users. Documented Onion Browser's built-in obfs4 and snowflake bridges and the honest limits of meek-azure under Apple's networking rules.
Began publishing the signed obfs4 bundle as a scannable QR so a bridge line never has to be typed on a touchscreen. Verified Orbot and Onion Browser both import it cleanly.
Published measured cellular data and battery cost per transport so users on prepaid plans can choose a setting that does not drain the meter. Per-app Orbot routing documented for low-data handsets.
Documented OpenKeychain on Android and an iOS workflow so a phone-only user can verify the signed mirror manifest without ever touching a desktop. Cellular probe network expanded to three filtered carriers.
Mobile access in numbers
Connectivity metrics measured from handsets on filtered carriers. Not marketplace metrics.
