It's sad that this app does not support Socks 5 proxy. Otherwise, I could use a Tor hidden service as my HA entry point.

Hmm. Good point. I think it should. The primary reason I don't like using invizible in VPN mode is because I want my standard web browser not to go through Tor so I can access my bank and stuff like that and don't want to have to switch it between VPN and socks mode.
That and I use private DNS or DOH and I have to turn that off in order to use it in VPN mode.
I'm very leery of Orbot because last time I used it it caused my phone to drain super fast and caused my battery to heat up to such a point that I thought it was going to explode whereas invizible has never done that. I have several apps running over the socks proxy, such as Signal, SimpleX, antennapod, fdroid, monfluo, etc.
