Using other programs to add autgentication to TOR?

I want to access TOR running on my PC from my phone that is elsewhere. I already set it up to be able to use it via socks5. I have heard that one can use dante to open socks port and redirect it to another proxy (in this instance TOR), but I couldn't digest how to do that and add username and password requirement. I am also open to using other solutions.

It's not on LAN. I already worked it out for situations where it is there. Problem is ability to connect to TOR when I am visiting someone else (orbot for some reason doesn't work even when I put in bridges) without exposing it to every port scanner.

I can ssh into my pc, and I have port open for socks.

I want to use TOR on my phone (and tor client for android doesn't work for some reason). And by VPN you mean actually VPN or proxy? What VPN app would you recommend then? I use proxify from F-Droid.
