Hmm. Good point. I think it should. The primary reason I don’t like using invizible in VPN mode is because I want my standard web browser not to go through Tor so I can access my bank and stuff like that and don’t want to have to switch it between VPN and socks mode.
That and I use private DNS or DOH and I have to turn that off in order to use it in VPN mode.
Orbot allows you to pick what apps to VPN and what apps to leave unaltered. You could just select the Home Assistant app and leave all of your other apps Tor-free.
I’m very leery of Orbot because last time I used it it caused my phone to drain super fast and caused my battery to heat up to such a point that I thought it was going to explode whereas invizible has never done that. I have several apps running over the socks proxy, such as Signal, SimpleX, antennapod, fdroid, monfluo, etc.
It’s sad that this app does not support Socks 5 proxy. Otherwise, I could use a Tor hidden service as my HA entry point.
