 ## Usage
 
+### On Linux
 Run the script with root privileges:
 
 ```shell
 sudo ./ip-changer.sh
 ```
 
+### On macOS
+Run the script (no sudo required):
+
+```shell
+./ip-changer.sh
+```
+
+#### Requirements for macOS
+- [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) must be installed.
+- The script will check for and install Tor and curl via Homebrew if needed.
+- Tor is managed using `brew services`.
+
+#### Requirements for Linux
+- The script will attempt to install Tor and curl using your system's package manager (apt, yum, pacman, etc.).
+- Tor is managed using `systemctl`.
+
 First, enter how long you want to stay on one server before changing the IP.
 Then, enter how many times to change the IP. Enter 0 for unlimited changes.
+

+
+## Important Notes & Troubleshooting
+
+### 1. Your Browser or Apps Must Use the Tor Proxy
+
+This script changes your IP for traffic routed through the Tor SOCKS proxy (`127.0.0.1:9050`).
+Most browsers and apps do **not** use this proxy by default. To hide your real IP, you must configure your browser or system to use the Tor proxy:
+
+**Firefox:**
+- Preferences → General → Network Settings → Settings...
+- Select "Manual proxy configuration"
+- Set SOCKS Host: `127.0.0.1` Port: `9050`
+- Choose SOCKS v5
+- Check "Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5"
+
+**Chrome/Chromium:**
+- Start Chrome with:
+  ```
+  /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --proxy-server="socks5://127.0.0.1:9050"
+  ```
+
+**System-wide (macOS):**
+- System Preferences → Network → Advanced → Proxies
+- Set SOCKS Proxy to `127.0.0.1:9050`
+
+### 2. Disable iCloud Private Relay and VPNs
+
+If you see "Apple iCloud Private Relay" or a VPN in your IP info, your traffic is not using Tor.
+
+- **Disable iCloud Private Relay:**
+  - System Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Private Relay → Turn Off
+- **Disable any other VPNs** while using this script.
+
+### 3. IPv6 Leaks
+
+Tor by default only handles IPv4. If your browser uses IPv6, your real IP may leak.
+- Disable IPv6 in your network settings, or use browser add-ons to force IPv4.
+- Or, configure your browser to use only IPv4 when using the Tor proxy.
+
+### 4. Test Tor Proxy Directly
+
+To verify Tor is working, run:
+```bash
+curl -s --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9050 https://checkip.amazonaws.com
+```
+This should show a Tor exit node IP, not your real IP.
+
+---
+
+If you follow these steps, your public IP (as seen by websites) should match a Tor exit node, not your real IP or iCloud Private Relay IP.
