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
- Rewrote readme
- Replaced broken links to old repo
- BitTorrent traffic will be blocked by iptables.
- TorghostNG will disable IPv6 to prevent IPv6 leaks.
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
.
OPTIONS:
-h, --help Show this help message and exit
-s, --start Start connecting to Tor
-x, --stop Stop connecting to Tor
-r, --renew Renew the current Tor circuit
-id COUNTRY ID Connect to Tor exit node of a specific country. Go to CountryCode.org to search country ID
-mac INTERFACE Randomly change MAC address. Use 'ifconfig' to show interface devices
-c, --checkip Check your current IPv4 address
--dns Use this to fix DNS when website address can't be resolved
-l, --language Change the display language. English is the default
--list Show the available languages list
-u, --update Check for update
--nodelay Disable delay time
You can combine multiple flags at the same time, such as:
torghostng -s -m INTERFACE
: Changing MAC address before connectingtorghostng -c -m INTERFACE
: Checking IP address and changing MAC address
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
.
Tor can't help you completely anonymous, just almost:

- 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.
- 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
