CLUSTER MOBILE-TOR-NETWORK · 7 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2016-09-08
Tor-based privacy VPN apps
This cluster consists of desktop and mobile applications that route internet traffic through the Tor network to provide anonymity and privacy, often combining Tor with VPN-style encryption, ad blocking, or additional protocols like DNSCrypt and I2P. Entries appeared sporadically from September 2016 through February 2026, with gaps of over a year between most releases, showing no consistent release cadence. OnionShield-Windows leads on traction with 1 star, while Torva-VPN and Tor VPN Beta have 0 stars each.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
