Open ghost opened 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

Hi! Thanks for yet another YouTube app :D Would you mind adding Orbot support? So that one can browse YouTube without Google, Big brother, advertisers etc colllecting my entire YouTube history.

Good point. I've added it to the TODO list.

Or, proper proxy support which defaults to ststandard orbot ports (9050:sox and 8118:http respectiveley)

ghost commented 8 years ago

It'd be even nicer to have a pop-up with options e.g none, orbot, custom

ram-on commented 8 years ago

@gerroon +1 for the proxy settings. Noted.

@JasperWeiss Network settings will most probably be added in the settings/preferences.

Orbots proxy should still be a seperate option. Because just proxy support by itself doesn't include other orbot specific things. The app could for example start orbot if it's not turned on yet, or warn the user if it's not installed, check whether orbot is active etc. I'd recommend The Guardian Projects "Netchiper" library which makes orbot and proxy integration easy.

@ram-on . First thank you for a wonderful app.

I have successfully setup SkyTube with Orbot vpn, but I have to ask if SkyTube as it is now is perfectly safe to use with Tor/Orbot? Meaning, not giving away local location or information through Tor?

Thanks

ram-on commented 6 years ago

@afrenchdish SkyTube is not able to give away your location as evidenced by the lack of location permission.

Can you indicate how you were able to setup SkyTube with Orbot support? Maybe you can create a wiki page with instructions?
