Hello everyone.
I get an error after adding and updating Guardian Project repository.

 $ fdroidcl repo add Guardian https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/repo/ 

 $ fdroidcl update

update: could not update index: Get "https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/repo//index-v1.jar": dial tcp 162.247.75.177:443: connect: connection refused

$ whois 162.247.75.177

Note that the Guardian Project has not updated the Orbot version in their repo in a while

I recommend you get their latest APK from Github instead: Releases · guardianproject/orbot · GitHub

Thank you very much for the tip, I didn’t think that I would need to run TOR to download the APK, but I will keep this in mind.

What do you think about Orbot - Tor for Mobile

There is a link to F-droid on their website Guardian Project Official App Repository, but it doesn’t work for me.

that’s an old page for the same app… what do you mean?

I also see that i can download Orbot using the program you recommended FFupdater FFUpdater | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

I see in the description that you can install Orbot
