I tried to use briar, which uses a HS on every user's device to get<br>
metadata protection for messaging:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://briarproject.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://briarproject.org/</a><br>
<br>
and noticed that it kept my phone always awake. After some very helpful<br>
discussions, I understand that the basic issue (vast<br>
oversimplification!) is that tor's state machine expects to be called<br>
once/second, and essentially this isn't compatible with android/doze.<br>
<br>
So I wonder what you are doing about hidden services in orbot? Are you<br>
taking a wake lock? Being a good doze citizen? Does this really work<br>
(meaning you can keep a HS registered in doze, and the app will notice<br>
arriving traffic in 10 minutes when it hits maintenance window)? With<br>
or without whitelisting? Or do you think I'm confused (that would be<br>
great, in this situation)?<br>

<br>
(It's on my todo list to change the code to not object to being called<br>
up to about 900s late, and to remove the wake lock from briar, and see<br>
what happens.)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
