About TorghostNG

TorghostNG is a script that reroutes your computer's internet traffic through Tor. An unofficial GUI is available here.

Rewritten from TorGhost with Python 3.

TorghostNG was tested on:

• Kali Linux
• Manjaro

What's new in TorghostNG 2.1

• Rewrote readme
• Replaced broken links to old repo

Before you use TorghostNG

• BitTorrent traffic will be blocked by iptables.
• TorghostNG will disable IPv6 to prevent IPv6 leaks.

Installing TorghostNG

TorghostNG currently supports:

• GNU/Linux distros based on Arch Linux
• GNU/Linux distros based on Debian/Ubuntu

To install TorghostNG, open your terminal and enter these commands:

git clone https://github.com/Zopolis4/TorghostNG
cd TorghostNG
sudo python3 install.py
torghostng -h

Alternatively, you can use it without installation by downloading torghostng.py, then running it with python3 torghostng.py.

How to update TorghostNG

Open Terminal and type torghostng -u with sudo to update TorghostNG, but it will download new TorghostNG to /root, because you're running it as root. If you don't like that, you can type git pull -f and sudo python3 install.py.

Notes before you use Tor

Tor can't help you completely anonymous, just almost:

• Tor’s Biggest Threat – Correlation Attack
• Is Tor Broken? How the NSA Is Working to De-Anonymize You When Browsing the Deep Web
• Use Traffic Analysis to Defeat TOR

It's recommended that you should use NoScript before before surfing the web with Tor. NoScript shall block JavaScript/Java/Flash scripts on websites to make sure they won't reveal your real identify.

And please

• Don't spam or perform DoS attacks with Tor. It is ineffective, you will just waste the time, money and bandwith of Tor volunteers.
• Don't torrent over Tor. If you want to keep anonymous while torrenting, use a no-logs VPN.

Bittorrent over Tor isn't a good idea

Not anonymous: attack reveals BitTorrent users on Tor network
