ip_rotator

A bash script to automatically rotate your IP on the Tor network at a specified interval in minutes and, optionally, choose exit node regions.

The script will default to a 10 min rotation time and random exit nodes if you don't pass it any args.

Installation and Use

You can clone the whole repo

git clone https://github.com/jshuntley/ip_rotator.git \
cd ip_rotator \
chmod +x rotor.sh

You can also just curl the script itself

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jshuntley/ip_rotator/refs/heads/main/rotor.sh \
chmod +x rotor.sh

Then run the script with

./rotor.sh [time in mins] [exit nodes separated by commas]

The script also supports --help & -h args

Use Tor in your browser

After getting this running, in your browser proxy settings, choose manual. Then you can specify "socks5" address:"localhost" and port:"9050".

"Torify" Your Shell

To run commands in your terminal using Tor, you either need to specify it for each command with

torsocks [COMMAND]

OR you can run

source torsocks on

to use Tor for every command in that session

torrc Settings

You can change the locale settings in ~/.tor/torrc to stick to a specific region(s) for exit nodes
