WARNING: Not (yet) a standalone ready to use outside of Whonix:
anon-connection-wizard (ACW) is a Tor-launcher-like application that helps users in different Internet environments connect to the Tor network. It helps user to configure Tor to use a proxy and/or Tor bridges. This application is especially useful for system Tor users who would like to run the standalone core Tor with different torified applications. The wizard can be run at any time to change the connection configuration.
tor-control-panel is a Tor controller. It provides the same functionality as anon-connection-wizard, but in an "expert mode" user interface that is much faster to use. It can also stop and restart Tor, display Tor logs, launch onioncircuits to view active Tor circuits, and send NEWNYM signals to Tor to request new circuits to be used for all new connections.
Both tools create and modify a Tor settings file:
/usr/local/etc/torrc.d/40_tor_control_panel.conf
tor-control-panel is produced independently from the Tor anonymity software and carries no guarantee from The Tor Project about quality, suitability or anything else.
