Any idea if there’s a reason for there to be a second app though? If you have Orbot already, it shipped with the same defaults as TorVPN, and in my opinion Orbot is already decent-looking and easy to use.
Maybe it’s better for this to be a first party app, but right now I don’t know what they’re going for.
Yeah not really sure tbh but it’s a long time since I’ve used orbot. I’ve just downloaded the beta from fdroid so I’ll give it a whirl.
Edit: looks like it’s a rust rewrite. From the fdroid page:
Built on Arti: Tor VPN uses Tor’s next-generation Rust implementation. That means safer memory handling, modern code architecture, and a stronger security foundation than legacy C-Tor tools.
It’s currently in beta so I’m guessing that’s just a step towards a 1.0 release.
