OrWall brings full control of how your smartphone uses the internet back to the user, who needs to choose which apps should have their traffic encrypted by Tor and which don't need it. The Tor Phone is based on Copperhead OS, which is an Android distribution that includes numerous security enhancements in order to fix the many vulnerabilities in Android, and Tor's developers have also added an app called orWall that forces all apps to route their traffic over the Tor anonymity project through an Android firewall called Orbot, while blocking unwanted traffic.
