Using a Vortex mirror over mobile data
Weak signal and onion routing are a slow combination, but there are ways to help.
Expect slower loads
Each request crosses several relays, so a weak mobile signal multiplies delays.
When to switch
If the main address keeps timing out, try a listed vortex mirror from the gate before blaming your connection.
Save data
The Safer or Safest security level blocks heavy media and scripts, which also reduces data usage.
Battery
Tor keeps the radio busy. Close Tor Browser completely when you are done instead of leaving it in the background.
On mobile data, try a listed Vortex mirror if the main address times out, and close Tor Browser when finished.
