How to select a country in Tor?

Как в Tor выбрать страну?


It often happens that when viewing a page or video, sad information appears that this content is not available in your country. Experienced users will immediately turn their attention to anonymous proxies. However, both ordinary and notoriously experienced users should appreciate the work of Tor through the IP addresses of the country you need. The whole problem is that Tor works, like any other browser, is produced through different IP addresses in different countries. We need the IP address of one specific country.

Once you launch Tor, you need to make sure that it is connected to the network. The green onion icon will notify us of this.

Go to "Settings", "Advanced" tab. At the bottom of the window there is a button “Edit current torrc” - click on it, and at the very bottom of the editing window, that is, at the end, add the line ExitNodes {ru} (as an example - instead of ru you can write ua, us, by, kz - in general, the necessary "country code"). Check the "Apply selected" box, confirm with the OK button and restart the browser.

From all possible IPs, only Russian ones will now be selected, and when you click the “Change Identity” button, the IP address will change - and in the same way to Russian.

You can also use several countries - for example, ExitNodes {ua},{ru}. If you need any countries except a certain one, write the line ExcludeExitNodes {ua} (as an example). So, if you strictly followed the instructions, then now the sites will think that you are in one or another country of your choice. All that remains is enter URL and enjoy content that was previously hidden from the eyes of your fellow citizens!

    You explain using the example of the vidalia control panel, but in new versions of tor browser this panel is not present and in the settings I cannot find “Edit current torrc” anywhere. But in older versions, for some reason, only the panel itself launches, but not the browser. And when you start it again, it shows that the version of the torus is outdated and it does not connect at all and the torus launch bar freezes approximately in the middle. What to do?

    Konstantin, in your case you need to manage Tor through the Mozilla Firefox browser. In the menu "Firefox"->"Add-ons" (Ctrl+Shift+A) you can configure or install add-ons. It is here, after installing Tor, that you can manage and change all the settings to suit your needs...

    Dima, if you have completed all the steps described in the article correctly, then you will have access to all sites that are hidden or prohibited in the country. For example, the same Rutracker.
