Just to point out something, it was only recently that Google Play was made 
available at all directly in Iran. The fact that users can find the app without 
filtering is a big step forward. 

We are working with Google and others to understand why the 403 error is 
happening, because the download should be using HTTPS.

Otherwise, you can also find Orbot in the Amazon App Store and via f-droid.org.

Thanks for the note.
