 I installed orbot from https://github.com/n8fr8/orbot/releases selecting
 universal release because of
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/26126 . Problem is that
 the VPN that orbot creates is not used by any app.

 I use Resurrection Remix (RR-O-v6.0.0-20180512-klte-Official) based on
 android 8.1.

 Also I installed AFWALL+ allowing only VPN access to apps (not including
 orbot) and the apps stop having access to internet. For example Firefox
 stated 'Unable to connect'. Without AFWALL+ filtering, when I visit
 check.torproject.org it shows my public IP address.
