There never was a "new IP address" function in Tor. https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git?a=blob_plain;hb=HEAD;f=control-spec.txt NEWNYM -- Switch to clean circuits, so new application requests don't share any circuits with old ones. Also clears the client-side DNS cache. (Tor MAY rate-limit its response to this signal.) Two things are important here: * existing/open application requests still use old circuits * new circuits don't exclude previously used relays; after "New Identity", you might end up exiting from the same exit relay, for example See also https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10400 -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/ -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
