Tor Browser on Android leaks IP in desktop mode
I've been testing Tor Browser on Android (rooted tablet + Bluetooth tether sniffer). Here's what I found:
These requests contain:
· Your real IP address
· The .onion URL in the Referer header
· Tor Browser user-agent
The evidence (captured live):
```
[18:12:10] 10.188.1.98 -> 192.178.183.95 (Akamai)
[18:12:14] 10.188.1.98 -> 142.251.14.95 (Google)
[18:12:22] 10.188.1.98 -> 142.251.20.95 (Google)
```
HTTP attempts: 5
HTTPS SNI captured: 0
All plain text. No encryption. Tor not involved.
What this means:
Every time you use Tor Browser on Android, switch to Desktop Mode, and visit a .onion site, you're broadcasting your real IP to Google, Amazon, and anyone monitoring your network.
