I'm on ubuntu-mate 18.04.

I use Torsocks v2.2.0 in my terminal and applet.

i use wget http://checkip.dyndns.org/ -O - -o /dev/null | cut -d: -f 2 | cut -d\< -f 1

witch send me my public IP.

I also use Tor proxy for whole system.

To see my IP at every moment i use the applet "indicator-ip" witch show public ip at every moment in the menu-bar.

my issue is that torsocks shows public IP with

wget http://checkip.dyndns.org/ -O - -o /dev/null | cut -d: -f 2 | cut -d\< -f 1

And when i check on https://check.torproject.org/?lang=fr or https://whatismyipaddress.com/ it shows me another IP.

Sometimes it takes times to get the same IP adress, but sometimes it never changes to the same IP adress.

I'm also need to service tor restart at startup (1s after restart) with script because if not my web pages need a reload and with this script sometimes

Anyone understand what i tryed to explain can let an answer :)

you could use torify, a tool that comes with the tor package. torify wget http://checkip.dyndns.org/ -O - -o /dev/null | cut -d: -f 2 | cut -d\< -f 1

that is anonymity feature

a semi random exit node is chosen for each domain

checkip.dyndns.org check.torproject.org whatismyipaddress.com different domains

the exit node changes every so often
