Orweb not working on Nexus 4 with Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) #46

Open fermut opened 10 years ago

fermut commented 10 years ago

As of today, December 17th, 2013, Orweb is not working on my Nexus 4 which has been recently updated to Android 4.4.2 (kitkat) - build number KOT49H, kernel version 3.4.0-perf-g2cae413

Orbot starts and connects to the tor network successfully, but when launching orweb it says: "Sorry. You are not using Tor". There used to be a message saying that the proxy server could not been configured, but after an update (of Orweb) a couple of weeks ago, the message disappeared. However, orweb is still not able to use the tor network. Thanks

Thanks for the note. Google made a major change to the browser engine in Android 4.4 that breaks proxy support.

We are working on a new update based on Firefox that is currently in alpha.
