SMSSecure plus Orbot - Let users set their own app proxy
Created by: herbsmn
A growing number of apps allow you to change the app's proxy settings so that they only work when connected to the Tor network. It'd be great is SMSSecure implimented this proxy feature so people could use it with Orbot. It seems as though there is no interest in fixing this problem upstream at TextSecure, so I thought I'd suggest it here.

On a related note, and this might be Orbot's fault, but currently MMS messages don't work in SMSSecure when Orbot is on. Is this something you can fix? Are there other apps that I need to make sure aren't being routed through Orbot/Tor in order to get MMS messages to work? I've already tried unchecking SMSSecure and other text related apps in Orbot to try to get this to work.
