How to change country in Mac OS X?

Question

How do I change the exit node country for TorBrowser on Mac OS X? I can't find a file called "torrc" on my Mac.

Answer 1

Try to take a look at Settings->Advanced, it appears to be in Applications/TorBrowser_en-US/Library/Vidalia/torrc and add this :

ExitNodes {us}
StrictNodes 1
GeoIPExcludeUnknown 1
AllowSingleHopCircuits 0

Answer 2

There's an entry in the Tor FAQ that has a few more details on where to find the torrc file on different platforms.

If you installed Tor Browser, look for Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/torrc inside your Tor Browser directory. On OS X, you must right-click or command-click on the Tor Browser icon, and select "Show Package Contents" before the Tor Browser directories become visible.

That is no longer the location. It was a problem to have one torrc for all users. So now (version 6.0.5) it is at
~/Library/Application\ Support/TorBrowser-Data/Tor/torrc
There is still one inside the app, but it is apparently ignored.

To add to what Alexey said, the FAQ entry detailing further node-related config is here, and the official list of 2-letter country codes can be found on Wikipedia, here. (Substitute one of these for the us mentioned in Alexey's response.)
