Opening the Vortex market link on public Wi-Fi

Tor hides what you visit from the network, but the network still sees you.

What the network sees

The Wi-Fi operator can see that your phone is using Tor, but not which onion address you open.

Captive portals

Many hotspots show a login page first. Complete it in a normal browser, then open Tor Browser and connect.

Blocked Tor

Some public networks block Tor. A built-in bridge such as Snowflake often gets around this.

Shoulder surfing

In public places, people nearby can read your screen. Lower brightness and avoid opening the vortex market link in crowded seats.

Public Wi-Fi sees that you use Tor, not where you go; still watch who can see your screen.
