How to update TorghostNG

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.

Notes before you use Tor

Tor can't help you completely anonymous, just almost:

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.

And please

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

Not anonymous: attack reveals BitTorrent users on Tor network

Don't torrent over Tor, please
