    Can You Use Cypherpunk Remailers On Your Phone? Answer: Yes, You Can.

    Can't be sitting at home with windows just to send anonymous posts!

    I send posts from an android phone to OmniMix running on a Windows system.

    Are you successfully running an Android mail client / newsreader app
    with Orbot to remotely access your OmniMix proxy installation at home?

    seems like a really good question . . . android phones can run tor browser,
    so can android phones remotely access (presumably windows) systems running omnimix in such a way as to create messages using a remailer client on the android device for sending multilayered encrypted packets via tor to entry remailer of the random remailer chain . . . otherwise, how else could this
    work for communicating from a portable android device and even if it could,
    are smart phones really that secure to begin with, i would seriously doubt
    that it's possible to run an anonymous remailer client on an android phone, also even if it could be done, why bother if phones are under surveillance,
    but desktop/laptop pcs might not be that much more secure, either, so this
    type of tor-usage may not be exclusive to smart phones, but for any device

    OmniMix * Tutorial * Tor
    Tor is a real-time onion-routing system, which thereby allows anonymous Internet
    communication without any delay. That makes it useful to hide your identity >especially while surfing the web or using other services, that aren't available
    by mail. But the lack of latency on the other hand substantially increases the >chances for an adversary. So for anonymous mailing setting up a free email >account through Tor is only the second best solution.
    Nevertheless OmniMix enables you to benefit from Tor with various kinds of >communication, which require immediate response, e.g. the retrieval of remailer
    statistics or a stealthy Mixmaster packet delivery to entry remailers. The >program is preconfigured to run its own Tor instance and use that for every >Internet connection it establishes. You have to read the 'Configuration' chapter
    only when problems arise or in case you're interested in what's going on 'under
    the hood'.
    But there are further services provided by OmniMix based on Tor, which you can >read about in the 'TorPlus' chapter.
    ...
    https://www.danner-net.de/omom/tutortorplusmail.htm
    OmniMix * Tutorial * Tor * TorPlus * OrMail
    The major advantage of remailer networks is unpredictable latency at each server
    of the delivery chain, which renders correlation attacks useless, an important >contribution to its extremely reliable resistance against all kinds of attacks.
    But that latency may be intolerable with time-critical missions, where also the
    feedback of a successful transaction is mandatory, which remailers can't provide
    as well.
    That's where direct e-mail communication between sender and recipient through >the Tor network may be a viable solution.
    It gives you secret end-to-end encrypted data transfers in realtime e.g. between
    OmniMix installations, which are connected by a circuit of up to 9 anonymizing >Tor nodes, without the need of an additional external mail server.
    Like anonymous remailing through the Mixmaster and Yamn network OrMail >integrates seamlessly into your mail management infrastructure. Use your standard
    mail client, which may already be configured to route all traffic through >OmniMix, and, based on an OrMail recipients list within OmniMix, matching mail is
    delivered directly through the Tor network and the destination's Tor Hidden >Service to the SMTP server attached to it. You only have to know the recipient's
    .onion address, the port number used by that service and whether the receiving >server demands a Hashcash token to accept the mail message. From there the >recipient's mail client can download stored messages at any time with a POP3 >command. Similar to its nym account management OmniMix supports multiuser >environments with OrMail as well, as for each user multiple mail recipient ('To:'
    header) patterns can be defined. Furthermore you're not restricted in the number
    of separate Tor Hidden Service addresses and thereby identities usable for >different tasks.
    At first make sure that at the TorPlus > Server tab the OmniMix SMTP server is >activated for OrMail processing.
    Tutor_TorPlus_OrMail_Server
    Then go to the TorPlus > HSvcs tab to set up such a Hidden Service for incoming
    OrMail by clicking the '+' button to add a new item. >Tutor_TorPlus_OrMail_HS_Edit
    Create a new folder, where Tor deploys Hidden Service data like the .onion >address it computes at a later restart. Then enter a random external port number
    at 'Ext Port'. Better don't use a standard port, which is easier to detect by a
    port scan done by an adversary. Set 'Int Address' to '127.0.0.1' for the local >computer as the device where the OrMail SMTP server resides, and enter its port
    number into the 'Int Port' field. Be aware, that conflicting port numbers prevent
    the server from (re)starting. So avoid duplicates and assign each entry its >unique internal port. To make mail flooding harder you may instruct your mail >server to ask for a Hashcash token in order to accept an incoming mail message.
    Do so by entering a number above zero, usually 24..30, at the 'Hashcash' bit field.
    Now, at the OrMail Address field, you have to enter a regular expression term, >which defines all 'To:' addresses of the mailboxes that are bound to that Hidden
    Service.
    With a restart of the OmniMix servers and then Tor the system is ready to >receive OrMail messages. That's when the Hidden Service's .onion address is >created and gets visible at the AddrExt column of the Hidden Service table. A >click on the '*' button of the Hidden Services list now copies the complete >OrMail address, external port number and Hashcash bit requirements, looking like

    into the clipboard ready to be sent to your communication partner(s) along with
    the arbitrary mail address you intend to use.
    Tutor_TorPlus_OrMail_HS
    Warning: Keep the preinstalled SSL/TLS Demo Certificate ('omnimix_demo.pem' at >the Cert > Server tab) in place if you intend to use the OrMail SMTP server for
    anonymity reasons. Otherwise, when replacing it with an individual certificate,
    an adversary is able to cross-link your Hidden Services based on that >certificate's fingerprint! It would therefore be advisable to consider setting up
    separate OmniMix installations for that purpose. And always keep in mind, that >Tor offers an offender many more attack vectors that anonymous remailing >including the usage of nym servers. Convenience has its price.
    Now go to the 'User' Accounts tab, select your own user item (e.g. the >'OmniMix'/'omnimix' entry) and, for testing purposes, add a '^.*$' item, a >regular expression term for all possible addresses, to the 'OrMail Addresses' >list. Don't forget to set a check mark to activate that entry. >Tutor_TorPlus_OrMail_User_Edit
    At the 'MailP' POP3 client tab you finally have to activate OrMail polling >('optional' or 'mandatory') with POP3 downloads by mail clients.
    That's it at the receiving end. Now to the easier task at the sender. >Presuming that Tor is already running you first have to go to the Services > >OrMail tab, click the '+' button to add an item and define the OrMail recipient
    who gave you his Hidden Service .onion address with the associated port number >and Hashcash bits by entering them at 'HS Address', 'Port' and 'Hashcash'. With
    those communication parameters present in the clipboard formatted as mentioned >above they are quickly pasted from there by clicking the '<' button. Select >SSL/TLS 'enabled', as you can expect the OmniMix SMTP server at the destination
    to support that data encryption method. Tor connect / read timeout intervals are
    taken from the AnoMailS > Direct tab.
    Tutor_TorPlus_OrMail_Recipient_Edit
    Then at 'Local Address' enter a (short) unique describing address term that you
    use as the recipient's address in your mail client, and at 'External Address' the
    true address, by which your local term is overwritten before OmniMix forwards >your message. The name part outside the angle brackets isn't altered by OmniMix.
    Caution: Never use potential real world mail addresses as local OrMail alias >addresses, as for security reasons even mail messages that match a deactivated >list entry are blocked.
    After closing that window check the activation box above the OrMail Recipients >list.
    Tutor_TorPlus_OrMail_Recipient
    Finally, back at the 'User' tab, activate that OrMail address at the 'OrMail >Recipients' list for your account as shown in the picture above to make it >available. Keep in mind, that if OmniMix recognizes an OrMail recipient term, >which isn't unlocked for the respective user, the transmission of that message is
    aborted to prevent the leakage of information. I urge you to send your first test
    message to check its routing with OmniMix in Simulation mode. That's the way to
    avoid unpleasant results!

    Tor Browser for Android is the official mobile browser developed by the Tor Project, designed to enhance privacy and freedom online by blocking trackers and
    ads. It is free to use and helps protect against surveillance and censorship.
    Google Tor Project
    Overview of Tor Browser for Android
    Tor Browser for Android is the official mobile browser developed by the Tor Project. It is designed to provide users with privacy and freedom while browsing
    the internet. The browser is free to download and use, but donations help support
    its development.
    Key Features
    Privacy Protection
    Block Trackers: Tor Browser isolates each website you visit, preventing third-
    party trackers and ads from following you.
    No Tracking Code: The browser is built on Firefox but has all tracking
    features disabled to enhance privacy.
    User Experience
    Basic Permissions: The app requires only essential permissions to function,
    ensuring minimal data access.
    Performance: Some users report that the browser can be slow and buggy,
    particularly when connecting to the Tor network.
    Installation and Use
    Download: Available on the Google Play Store, it can be installed like any
    other app.
    Connecting to Tor: Launch the app and click on 'Connect' to access the Tor
    network.
    Limitations
    No Syncing: There is no built-in feature to sync bookmarks between the mobile
    and desktop versions of Tor Browser.
    No Additional Plugins: Users are advised against installing extra add-ons, as
    they may compromise privacy.
    For those seeking a secure browsing experience on mobile, Tor Browser for Android is a strong option, though it may require some patience due to its performance issues.

    omnimix for debian linux would run in "tails" (which already has tor browser) omnimix for android, omnimix for linux, omnimix for ios, omnimix for everyone with a smart phone, that way, everyone can use cpunk, mix, and yamn remailers the proper way, creating messages on your own device and sending multilayered encrypted packets via tor to entry remailer of the random remailer chain with random copies, dummies, etc., i.e. how anonymous remailers are generally used

    YAMN works on more than fourty different platforms ... and the brand new
    Onion Courier Mix Client will soon replace YAMN and Mixmaster clients, so
    no place for your Omnimix dreams in the future.

    Stefan is right. We are living in a world now where most people communicate
    by phone. Omnimix does work fine but it's 'old hat' and we need to move on.

    Give us a phone with software similar to omnimix and more user friendly and that would be just wonderful, even the pea brain masses might use it if it
    was promoted well!

    News servers don't need YAMN! And there is no YAMN news server
