 Priority:  major        |   Milestone:       
Component:  Orbot        |     Version:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Setting my phone to disable data access and/or enable airplane mode seems
 to cause the transproxy iptables rules created by OrBot to get silently
 flushed. After re-enabling, all apps access everything without tor, until
 I go into the orbot config screen to cause it to reapply them.

 OrBot should listen for these network disable/loss/disconnect events if
 possible, and reinstate the iptables rules after this happens.

 Someone should also test if switching from cell data to+from wifi also
 triggers this iptables reset. I have not tested that yet.
