Description
its been this way for a long time. i use the alpha version but the regular does the same. I'm pretty sure the rest of the traffic does get sent over for, but perhaps in a weird way:

would it not be better to have it using orbots socks5?

Research direction
The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating how RedReader configures its Tor/Orbot proxy and determine whether traffic currently uses HTTP or SOCKS5. Done means the Tor connection uses Orbot's SOCKS5 proxy without breaking normal traffic, with coverage for the proxy behavior.
