hideMe 🛜

hideMe is a bash tool designed to route all your system's traffic through the Tor network and optionally connect to a ProtonVPN server if the proper credentials are available.

Features

• Route all traffic transparently through Tor using iptables.
• Connect to ProtonVPN automatically using .ovpn config and a creds.txt file.
• Show your current public IP and verify if you're using Tor.
• Cleanly deactivate Tor routing and disconnect from the VPN.
• ASCII art and colorized CLI interface.

Usage

1. Clone or download the script.
2. Make it executable:

   chmod +x hideMe.sh

3. Run as root:

   sudo ./hideMe.sh

File Structure

To connect to ProtonVPN, the following files are needed in the same directory:

• creds.txt with your credentials:

  your_username
  your_password
  

• A ProtonVPN .ovpn configuration file.

Menu Options

[1] Activate Tor         → Routes all traffic through Tor
[2] Connect to VPN       → Connects to ProtonVPN with .ovpn + creds.txt
[3] Deactivate Tor       → Resets iptables and stops Tor
[4] Deactivate VPN       → Kills any OpenVPN connection
[5] Check IP             → Shows current public IP and Tor status
[0] Exit                 → Close the program

How It Works

Tor Routing

When you activate Tor:

• The script modifies /etc/tor/torrc with transparent proxy settings.
• Starts the Tor service.
• Applies iptables rules to redirect TCP and DNS traffic through Tor.

VPN Connection

If openvpn is installed and valid credentials + config are present, the script:

• Picks a random .ovpn file from the directory.
• Connects to ProtonVPN in the background using openvpn.

IP Check

Uses ip-api.com to fetch current IP info and checks check.torproject.org to see if you're using Tor.
