NexTor IP Changer v1.1

🕵️‍♂️ Automatically Change Your IP Address Using the Tor Network

NexTor IP Changer is a lightweight, command-line tool designed to enhance online privacy by leveraging the Tor network to periodically rotate your IP address. This tool is perfect for privacy enthusiasts, security researchers, or anyone requiring dynamic IP rotation for legitimate purposes, such as testing network configurations or maintaining anonymity.

🚀 Features

• Automated IP Rotation: Seamlessly changes your IP address using the Tor network at user-defined intervals.
• Simple Command-Line Interface: Run the tool with a single command (nextor) and follow intuitive prompts.
• Lightweight and Efficient: Minimal resource usage, optimized for Arch Linux systems.
• Flexible Configuration: Set custom time intervals and the number of IP changes, including an option for infinite rotation.
• Application Integration: Works with any application or browser that supports SOCKS proxy settings.
• Arch Linux Support: Available in the Arch User Repository (AUR) for easy installation.

🛠️ Installation (Arch Linux Only)

📦 Requirements

Before using NexTor IP Changer, ensure the following dependencies are installed and configured:

1. Tor: The tool relies on the Tor network for IP rotation.

   sudo pacman -S tor
   sudo systemctl enable --now tor

2. Python Libraries: The requests[socks] library is required for proxy communication.

   pip3 install requests[socks]

🔧 Verify Tor is Running

Ensure the Tor service is active before running the tool:

sudo systemctl status tor

If Tor is not running, start it with:

sudo systemctl start tor

📦 Install from AUR

The easiest way to install NexTor IP Changer is through the Arch User Repository (AUR) using an AUR helper like yay:

yay -S nextor-ip-changer

This installs the tool system-wide, allowing you to run it with the nextor command:

nextor

📦 Install from Source

For users who prefer manual installation or want to customize the tool:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Stalin-143/NexTOR_IP_CHANGER

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd NexTOR_IP_CHANGER

3. Run the installation script:

   python3 install.py

After installation, the nextor command will be available globally.

🧪 Usage

Launch the tool by running:

nextor

The tool will prompt you to:

• Enter the time interval (in seconds) between IP changes (e.g., 60 for every minute).
• Specify the number of IP changes (e.g., 10 for ten rotations, or 0 for infinite changes).

🔌 Proxy Configuration

To route your traffic through the Tor network and benefit from IP rotation, configure your application or browser to use the following SOCKS proxy settings:

• Host: 127.0.0.1
• Port: 9050

For example, in Firefox:

1. Go to Settings > General > Network Settings.
2. Select Manual proxy configuration.
3. Set SOCKS Host to 127.0.0.1 and Port to 9050.
4. Enable SOCKS v5 and save.

This ensures your traffic is routed through Tor with rotating IPs as configured by the tool.

🔔 Notes

• Verify Tor Status: Always confirm that the Tor service is running before using the tool (sudo systemctl status tor).
• Infinite Rotation: Enter 0 when prompted for the number of changes to enable continuous IP rotation.
• Arch Linux Optimization: The tool is specifically packaged for Arch Linux via the AUR, ensuring seamless integration.
• Proxy Settings: Incorrect proxy configurations in your application or browser may prevent IP rotation. Double-check the settings if issues arise.
• Performance: The tool is designed to be lightweight, but frequent IP changes may impact network performance depending on your connection.
