#2423: OrBot transproxy silently fails open
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  cypherpunks  |       Owner:  n8fr8
     Type:  defect       |      Status:  new  
 Priority:  major        |   Milestone:       
Component:  Orbot        |     Version:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 On rooted phones that lack proper modules or iptables commands, OrBot
 seems to fail silently without informing the user that their selected apps
 are not torified. Minimally, it should verify the iptables rules it
 attempts to create are still present after it creates them.

 Ideally, it should also ping check.torproject.org, which provides a
 minimal, easy to parse XHTML response at
 https://check.torproject.org/?TorButton=true
