<h3><img class="title" src="../shared_images/open_in_browser_blue_light.png"> Using Proxies</h3>
<p>Despite their limitations, proxies can be useful in some circumstances.
- <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.android">Tor</a> and <a href="https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.i2p.android.router/">I2p</a>
+ <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.android">Tor</a> and <a href="https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.i2p.android.router/">I2P</a>
have Android apps that make it easy to use their proxy networks. When proxying is turned on in Privacy Browser, the app bar will have a light blue background instead of the default light grey.
Because traffic is being routed through several proxy nodes, using a layered proxy is often much slower than connecting directly to the internet.</p>

-
- <p>When Orbot is operating in proxy mode, browsing the internet using Privacy Browser will be routed through the proxy, but file downloads will not.
- This is because Privacy Browser uses Android’s builtin download manager to download files, which doesn’t have a proxy option.
- Users who want to download files via Orbot need to enable its VPN mode. There is currently no way to download files through I2P.</p>
