# Tor IP Changer
## Overview
This project allows you to change your IP address using the Tor network. It automates the process of changing the IP using the `SIGNAL NEWNYM` command and verifies the new IP using the Tor SOCKS5 proxy.
## Requirements
- Go (Golang) installed
- Docker & Docker Compose installed
- Tor installed and running on your system (if not using Docker)
- curl installed for IP verification
- Basic understanding of terminal/command line usage
## Installation Instructions
### 1. Install Tor
#### On Windows:
1. Download and install Tor from the [Tor Project website](https://www.torproject.org/download/).
2. Follow the installation wizard and complete the installation.
#### On macOS:
Open a terminal and run the following commands:
```bash
brew install tor
```
#### On Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):
Open a terminal and run the following commands:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install tor
```
#### On Linux (CentOS/Fedora):
```bash
sudo dnf install tor
```
### 2. Configure Tor to Choose Exit Nodes
After installing Tor, you can configure it to select specific countries for your IP address.
#### On macOS/Linux:
1. Open a terminal and run the following command to edit the `torrc` file:
```bash
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc # macOS
sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc # Linux
```
#### On Windows:
1. Open `torrc` located in the Tor Browser's directory (e.g., `C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\tor\torrc`).
2. Add the following lines to select specific countries for your exit nodes:
```plaintext
ExitNodes {us},{ca},{de} # Replace with desired country codes (US, Canada, Germany in this case)
ExcludeNodes {cn},{ru} # Exclude these countries (China, Russia in this case)
StrictNodes 1 # Force using these exit nodes only
```
### 3. Restart Tor
After editing the configuration file, restart the Tor service:
#### On macOS:
```bash
brew services restart tor
```
#### On Linux:
```bash
sudo systemctl restart tor
```
#### On Windows:
Restart Tor Browser or run the following command if Tor is running as a service:
```cmd
net stop tor
net start tor
```
## Project Structure
- `cmd/main.go`: Main entry point for the project.
- `internal/tor`: Handles Tor connection and IP change logic.
- `internal/scheduler`: Manages scheduling of IP changes.
- `configs`: Configuration handling for scheduling intervals and Tor connection settings.
- `proxy`: Creates HTTP clients using the SOCKS5 proxy provided by Tor.
## Docker Setup
1. Build the Docker container:
```bash
docker-compose build
```
2. Run the Docker container:
```bash
docker-compose up
```
3. The application will change the IP every specified interval and display the new IP address.
## Optimized Build
For an optimized production build using Docker, you can add the `--build-arg` flag to optimize the Go binary. This reduces the binary size and enhances performance:
```bash
docker build --build-arg GO_BUILD_FLAGS='-ldflags="-s -w"' -t tor-ip-changer .
```
This will apply the optimization flags `-s` and `-w` to strip debugging information and reduce binary size.
## Example Output:
```bash
Current IP: 185.225.101.39
Successfully changed Tor IP
Current IP: 193.15.244.244
Successfully changed Tor IP
```
## Customization
You can edit the `config.yaml` file to change the interval of IP changes or customize the Tor control port.
Example `config.yaml`:
```yaml
tor:
control_port: "127.0.0.1:9051"
scheduler:
interval: 60s # Change IP every 60 seconds
```
## Troubleshooting
### 1. Tor is not starting
- Ensure Tor is installed and properly configured.
- Check the logs using the following commands:
- On macOS/Linux: `tail -f /var/log/tor/log`
- On Windows: Check the Tor Browser logs in the installation folder.
### 2. IP is not changing
- Make sure the Tor service is running correctly.
- Ensure your exit node configuration is properly set up in `torrc`.
### 3. Permission denied errors
- Make sure you have proper permissions to edit `torrc` and restart the Tor service. Use `sudo` if necessary on macOS/Linux.
