TorGhost creates a connection between your device and the Tor network.
The idea is to channel all your device's traffic through Tor.
Using TorGhost, you can get a new IP address almost instantly.
How to install TorGhost in Kali Linux
(I'm using Raspberry Pi 0 W running Kali Linux P4wnP1 ALOA)
Step 1) Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/databurn-in/TorGhost.git
Step 2) Install TorGhost
chmod +x ./TorGhost/build.sh && sudo sh ./TorGhost/build.sh
After the command above, you should see the following output:
TorGhost will be built and installed on your system!
Step 3) Launch TorGhost
sudo torghost -a -c us
The -a means start TorGhost
The "-c us" means country: US (for exit nodes)
After the entering the command above, you'll see this:
[05:40:41] Verifying your Tor connectivity...
If TorGhost was successful at starting, you'll see this:
[05:41:03] Tor has started successfully.
To check your new IP address, type this:
curl icanhazip.com
Compare the result with your IP before you started TorGhost!
How to Use TorGhost
Start TorGhost:
sudo torghost -a
Start Tor with specific countries as exit nodes:
sudo torghost -a -c us,uk
Stop TorGhost:
sudo torghost -x
Get your IP address and Tor connectivity status:
sudo torghost -i
Install new updates:
sudo torghost -u
TorGhost Error / TorGhost Not Starting
If you get an error when starting TorGhost, try this:
sudo sh ./build.sh
Explanation:
I ran the built command without sudo - and got an error. Then re-ran the build command with sudo and TorGhost started working.
Verify IP Address Country / Location
To verify that you got an IP address from a specific country (using the "-c" option), do this:
- Run the command "curl icanhazip.com" to get your torified IP address
- Open your web browser
- Search for "IP to location"
- Enter your "tor-ified" IP address
