Is it possible to change the IP address without restarting the Tor Browser?
So, each time we start the Tor Browser, it connects through a new node. Would it be possible to do the following?
- In a Browser such as FireFox, set the SOCKS5 proxy to 127.0.0.1 and port 9050.
- Keep the Browser Session running.
- Edit the torrc file with new value for ExitNodes and each time restart the tor service.
For example:
ExitNodes {US}
service tor restart
After this, edit the node to some other country:
ExitNodes {fr}
And then restart Tor service again:
service tor restart
kill
to send Tor a message.
