Support Tor onion service instances #495

I can successfully register an account on a Mastadon onion server and even use federation, but the Tusky client refuses to log into that server, even after I set it up with VPN mode in Orbot. Ideally, Tusky would be Orbot-aware and not need to rely on VPN mode.

The next Tusky release will have the possibility to set a http proxy, is this not enough for Mastodon onion servers? It definitely works with orbot and normal instances. Can you give me an example for a onion server? Any links on how to implement "orbot-aware"?

Perhaps Tusky could speak socks4a over port 9050? If you'd like to try a few Mastodon onions, you can try registering with these:

NetCipher comes with Orlib which lets you check if Orbot is installed, running and lets you start it as needed.

After the new laws from EU, I think that this is becoming more important.

I think the issue is http vs https. If we can simply use http instead of https for .onions, Orbot VPN mode should work. I tried to hop in and make the change myself but I'm not a Java/Kotlin guy, and I have no idea how MastodonApi is getting instantiated.

I would appreciate this feature a lot. Mastodon on onion routing is increasing 👌

Http proxy possibility should work. Orbot is on port 8118 for http available or socks 9050
