What is VPN mode in Orbot?

Orbot routes your data through the volunteer Tor network to let you use Android and iOS apps anonymously. A VPN makes your entire mobile connection anonymous by connecting to a private server network owned by a VPN company.

Can I use Orbot and VPN at the same time?

However this is not always beneficial as it forces identifying information through Tor which can de-anonymize you at the exit. I personally now use a multi-hop vpn and Orbot simultaneously to allow the use of Orfox through Tor and everything else through vpn. This is possible on android as of v 7.0.

How do I know if Orbot is working?

Once you open the Orbot, press the big button, and after a few seconds establishing a connection to Tor you will see a message that says 100% connected, and the button will turn green.
