Michigan IP Adress

[sven1 0]

I would like to mimick an IP address from Michigan. There is a library there which offers a free online service to residents of the state of Michigan USA. Any suggestions?

You can track down Tor Exit Nodes in the state of Michigan and specify that as your Exit Node. You'd need to make sure the Exit Node Policy allows the ports you'd like to use (i.e. TCP 80 and 443 but I'd imagine most would).

 

You can go to this page

Tor Network Status - http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/ and get a list of exit nodes. You can list those exit nodes in the state of Mich. here: http://torstatus.blutmagie.de./index.php#CustomQuery

Require Flags: Exit: Yes (radio button) >

Advanced Search, Select Drop Down - Region / US State > Equals > mi

It found 9.

 

You can get a bit more information on a particular node here: https://www.dan.me.uk/torcheck

 

You can check out the man for Tor here: https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en

 

These might be worth checking out:

 

ExitNodes node,node,…

A list of identity fingerprints, nicknames, country codes and address patterns of nodes to use as exit node---that is, a node that delivers traffic for you outside the Tor network.

Note that if you list too few nodes here, or if you exclude too many exit nodes with ExcludeExitNodes, you can degrade functionality. For example, if none of the exits you list allows traffic on port 80 or 443, you won’t be able to browse the web.

Note also that not every circuit is used to deliver traffic outside of the Tor network. It is normal to see non-exit circuits (such as those used to connect to hidden services, those that do directory fetches, those used for relay reachability self-tests, and so on) that end at a non-exit node. To keep a node from being used entirely, see ExcludeNodes and StrictNodes.

The ExcludeNodes option overrides this option: any node listed in both ExitNodes and ExcludeNodes is treated as excluded.

The .exit address notation, if enabled via AllowDotExit, overrides this option.

Maybe this will help: MapAddress address newaddress

I'd imagine they wouldn't appreciate it. Perhaps you could donate some of your bandwidth and setup a relay to (sort of) compensate?

Here's something else-

 

Using the same exit for persistant connections

 

Some websites will log you out if you re-visit (while loggined in using a cookie to identify you) from a different IP. Tor has a feature called long lived ports. You could add the following to torrc to make connections to given ports use the same circut for a long period of time:

LongLivedPorts 80,23,21,22,706,1863,5050,5190,5222,5223,6667,8300,8888

A good alternative to LongLivedPorts is to use MapAddress for given sites. It allows you to make sure every connection to a given site goes through the same connection. This is also a good option if you need given sites to be visited from a given country.

For example,

MapAddress www.nsa.gov www.nsa.gov.nadia.exit

will make all visits to www.nsa.gov always use the exit node nadia, which is located in the US. There are anonymity issues with this; if you’re the only one using it then www.nsa.gov can at least figure out that it’s the same guy who’s visiting when connections are coming from that exit node.
