Welcome to this new Medium post! Today, I have something different to share with you. We'll be exploring an interesting way to browse the internet more privately using the Tor network. By routing your traffic through Tor, you can hide your real IP address and even change your public IP every few seconds making your online activity much harder to track.
Setup
We need to start installing python3, pip3 and tornet:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-pip -y
pip3 install python-tornetAfter this, we have all the necessary tools installed, we just need to start tornet:
tornet --interval 3 --count 0The use of the interval flag will make tornet run once every 3 seconds, and the count flag will make it run indefinitely, so in summary our public IP will be changed every 3 seconds in a constant loop
Once this is done you will see a similar output:
The last step it's apply the Tor proxy to your browser, to do this you need to open your browser settings and add the proxy with the following port number:
9050
And here the result, first one:
Then i just refresh:
Conclusions
In conclusion, using Tor with tools like Tornet is a simple but powerful way to improve your privacy online. By changing your public IP every few seconds and hiding your real address, you make it much harder for anyone to track your activity. While it may not be a perfect solution, it adds an extra layer of protection and gives you more control over your digital identity.
