Hello Nathan,

Thanks for the tip, I'll open a feature request :). In the meanwhile, I
suppose I'll get the current setting the user may edit.

I'll use this lib in order to detect Orbot and propose the installation,
as it seems to do it properly.
Happy to be able to play a bit with that.

Cheers,

C.
