Running sudo torghost -s return this:

what's the linux distro you're using?

[Loloman2]

Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

[NandanDesai]

[Loloman2]

Okay! Thanks!!

git pull this repo, build it and try running it again.

what's the content of torghost.dump file?

[Loloman2]

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='check.torproject.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/ip (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7f06a42bb9d0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name or service not known',))

try running TorGhost multiple times. Tell me if you get that same error all the time

[Loloman2]

Tried it 5 times :(

[NandanDesai]

Ok. For this I need some time. I'll get back to you ASAP

[Loloman2]

Okay :)

Hi. I'm caught up in some other work so won't be able to fix this issue anytime soon. Meanwhile, if you do want this to work, then try using anonsurf which is similar and in fact better than TorGhost! If it does work for you then please let me know here.
