How to set up a tor proxy in Orbot?
Also, Orbot has some interesting settings, such as specifically setting a whitelist of entry and exit nodes, and a black list of nodes to avoid. If you know someone is operating a Tor node, and you trust them, then I would recommend setting them as either an entry or exit, whichever is appropriate.
Can you use your phone as a tor proxy?
If you use your phone as a wireless hotspot, or USB tethering, you can also transparently route all the traffic from those connected clients through the Tor proxy.

Why is my APK not working on Orbot?
The version of Orbot you’re are using seems to be very old and most likely will not work at all. The place you probably acquired the APK from is unlikely to be safe at all since the app hasn’t looked like this since 2016 (bearing in mind that it’s 2017 when the question was posted).
What’s the best way to update Orbot on Android?
The best course of action would be to uninstall the current version of Orbot you are using then go to the Google Play Store on your Android Phone and search for “Orbot”. Select the first option and install. From now on, Orbot should work perfectly and should be updated automatically. Thanks for contributing an answer to Tor Stack Exchange!
