Another question for the #asknostr army 😉
I’m trying to connect BlueWallet to a Tor node. Needs Orbot. Every time I tap “Start VPN” nothing happens. And Orbot isn’t appearing in my system settings as a VPN option.
I’ve tried reinstalling the app, too. Anyone got an idea?

Sounds like Orbot’s VPN mode isn’t initializing properly. A few things to check:
1. Battery Optimization — make sure Orbot isn’t being restricted in the background.
2. VPN Permissions — go to Settings > Network & Internet > VPN and see if Orbot shows up manually.
3. Try “Apps Mode” Instead — in Orbot, enable VPN for only BlueWallet instead of full device mode.
4. Reinstall Order Matters — uninstall both, then install Orbot first, then BlueWallet.
If it’s an Android 12+ device, some custom ROMs also block Orbot’s VPN bridge silently.
Hope that helps! ⚡🧠
