Immediate disconnect and complete traffic block after

[DaBlincx]

iOS 15.1 iPhone 6s+ Orbot 1.6.5 mobile data, not wifi

Orbot disconnects without logging anything after trying to google anything or going to any website. For logs see below. Also afterwards I cant load anything anymore and I have to restart my phone.

Yeah, sorry. This is well known and nothing we can fix soon:

• Apple only allows 50 MB of RAM usage on so called "Network Extensions". (That's the piece of code which runs Tor, some routing and the bridging code in the background.)
• The Tor network got improvements during the recent months, which unfortunately makes the client use more RAM.
• The Tor network is also under attack time and time again, which lead to the same effect.

If an extension oversteps this threshold, it immediately gets killed. That's why you see the sudden connection loss and the sudden log cutoff.
