You can access the Tor network using other tools; making this determination comes down to your threat model. If you are a casual Tor user who is not worried about your ISP collecting evidence against you, using apps like [Orbot](#orbot) or mobile browser apps to access the Tor network is probably fine. 越多人使用 Tor 有助於減少 Tor 的不良印記，降低 ISP 和政府可能編制的「Tor 用戶清單」內容。
可以嘗試透過 Tor 連線到_Privacy Guides_：[xoe4vn5uwdztif6goazfbmogh6wh5jc4up35bqdflu6bkdc5cas5vjqd.onion](http://www.xoe4vn5uwdztif6goazfbmogh6wh5jc4up35bqdflu6bkdc5cas5vjqd.onion).
We previously recommended enabling the _Isolate Destination Address_ preference in Orbot settings. While this setting can theoretically improve privacy by enforcing the use of a different circuit for each IP address you connect to, it doesn't provide a practical advantage for most applications (especially web browsing), can come with a significant performance penalty, and increases the load on the Tor network. We no longer recommend adjusting this setting from its default value unless you know you need to.[^1]
\=== "Android"
```
Orbot can proxy individual apps if they support SOCKS or HTTP proxying. It can also proxy all your network connections using [VpnService](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/VpnService) and can be used with the VPN kill switch in :gear: **Settings** → **Network & internet** → **VPN** → :gear: → **Block connections without VPN**.
Orbot is often outdated on Google Play and the Guardian Project's F-Droid repository, so consider downloading directly from the GitHub repository instead. All versions are signed using the same signature, so they should be compatible with each other.
```
\=== "iOS"
```
On iOS, Orbot has some limitations that could potentially cause crashes or leaks: iOS does not have an effective OS-level feature to block connections without a VPN like Android does, and iOS has an artificial memory limit for network extensions that makes it challenging to run Tor in Orbot without crashes. Currently, it is always safer to use Tor on a desktop computer compared to a mobile device.
Running a Snowflake proxy is low-risk, even more so than running a Tor relay or bridge which are already not particularly risky endeavors. 但是，它通過您的網路進行代理流量，在某些方面可能會產生影響，特別是所用的網路頻寬有限制的話。 在決定是否要執行代理程式之前，請確保了解 [Snowflake 的工作原理](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/wikis/home) 。
**I2P** is a network layer which encrypts your connections and routes them via a network of computers distributed around the world. 它主要致力創建一個替代性的隱私保護網路，而不是使常規的網路連接匿名。
再者，每個 I2P 節點預設都會為其他使用者中繼流量，而不是依賴專門的中繼志工來運行節點。 Tor 網路大約有[10,000](https://metrics.torproject.org/networksize.html) 個中繼和網橋，而I2P 上有大約50,000 個中繼和網橋，這意味著流量可能有更多的路由方式來最大化匿名性。 I2P also tends to be more performant than Tor, although this is likely a side effect of Tor being more focused on regular "clearnet" internet traffic and thus using more bottle necked exit nodes. 與 Tor 相比，通常認為 I2P 上的隱藏服務效能更優。 在 Tor 上運行 BitTorrent 等 P2P 應用程式具有挑戰性（並且會極大地影響 Tor 網路效能），而在 I2P 上運行卻非常簡單且高效能。
[^1]: The `IsolateDestAddr` setting is discussed on the [Tor mailing list](https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2012-May/024403) and [Whonix's Stream Isolation documentation](https://whonix.org/wiki/Stream_Isolation), where both projects suggest that it is usually not a good approach for most people.
