I am not familiar how to do this on linux and have no machine to try here, can please someone help out? You need the following: #!/bin/sh torpid= 'catch the PID' newip='See_above' #something like the following should do then: (please someone "translate to a linux") sed -i '' 's/^\(Address\) .*/\1 '$newip'/' /path/to/your/torrc /path/to/kill -s HUP $torpid ---- to be put in a script and initiated by e.g. ip-up.local does the trick for me. Maybe this is a complete waste of time, if Tor is able to determine the new IP alone faster. IN this case a simple: /path/to/kill -s HUP $torpid should be fine. What may be faster or more efficient, to HUP tor with a new IP, or to let the Authorities find out themselves about a renewed IP, I do not know. Anyone? > > Greets Regards Hans
