Reaching a Vortex URL from an iPhone

On iPhone the rules are different, and it helps to know why.

No Tor Browser for iOS

Apple requires every browser to use its own engine, so the Tor Project does not ship Tor Browser for iPhone.

The recommended option

The Tor Project points iPhone users to Onion Browser, which routes traffic through Tor using Apple's engine.

Known limits

Some protections available in Tor Browser on desktop and Android are not possible on iOS. Treat the iPhone as the weaker option.

Practical advice

If you can, open the vortex url on a computer or Android device instead. If you must use an iPhone, keep the app updated and check the address carefully.

An iPhone can reach a Vortex URL through Onion Browser, but it offers fewer protections than desktop or Android.
