Step (I) Setup Tor and services
How to install tor on Ubuntu 20.4 or older version?
First, you need to install Tor on the Linux os. Open a terminal by pressing CTRL + T and type the command to install the tor service:
$ sudo apt install tor
To start the Tor service run the command.
$ sudo service tor start
You may face errors As shown in the image below. Use the command to resolve the error.
$ sudo service tor restart
To check tor running status must run the command (press q to exit the process window)
$ sudo tor service status
$ tor --version
To stop the tor service run the command
$ sudo service tor stop
To check your tor ip follow the command
Step (II) Create IP Changer
Change IP after every 1 second
Please copy the script written below and save it as Run.sh. Make sure you should start the TOR service first. By using commands written above.
To run the script follow the commands:
$ chmod +x Run.sh
$ bash run.sh
Step (III) Configure Mozilla Firefox proxy settings
To configure the proxy settings on a Mozilla Firefox:
Step 1: Double-click and launch Mozilla Firefox.
Step 2: Click on three small lines (top right) Known as Firefox Menu (on firefox 84 and 85).
Step 3: Click Preferences, go to the bottom of the page.
Step 4: Under Network settings, click on settings... button.
Step 5: Click on Manual proxy configuration under Configure Proxy Access to the Internet.
Step 6: Under SOCKS Host Enter IP as 127.0.0.1, Port as 9050 (Tor running on). Click SOCKS v5
Step 7: Scroll down and type under No proxy for localhost,127.0.0.1
Step 8: Come to the end of the windows and checkmark Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5
Step 9: Press okay and save the settings.
The 2nd method to configure the Mozilla firefox proxy settings page is, simply paste about:preferences in the URL bar and hit enter. Skip Steps 1, 2, and 3.
Step (IV) surf the web and Onion Websites anonymously
Start using the internet with TOR proxy on FirefoxStep 1: Open new tab (Close the settings tab)
Step 2: Make sure Run.sh should run and change IP. In case TOR servicer stopped it would not work.
Step 3: In the newly opened tab type google.com or DuckduckGo.com I'll suggest using DuckduckGo.com to avoid security checks. Still some sites will ask you to verify.
Step 4: Search for ipchicken.com inside duckduck go. DuckDuckGo never keeps your internet history.
Step 5: Refresh the page after it loads and see the new locations turning to an unknown location again and again. If you are in Asia it will route you to Europe. If you are in Europe it will route you to Asia most of the time.
Step 6: Again visit duckduckgo.com search for dnsleaktest.com or directly visit. Click on DNS Standard test, it will show you the DNS info for the TOR server you are connected to.
