   You're three years late.   
      
   OmniMix\tor\patch\tor-0.4.9.0-alpha-dev_omnimix_mod.diff   
      
   tells you how to get it done.   
      
   History from June 2022:   
      
   | 2.6.6 Bugfix: Size of Yamn Stats ListBox corrected.   
   |       Button to reset Tor status and thereby change the entry guard added.   
   |       Log list now also shows Tor startup parameters.   
   |       Tor updated to a modified version 0.4.8.0-alpha-dev (git   
   b733f9d6ace63c71)   
   |         custom build, which allows a variable circuit length from 2 to 9   
   nodes   
   |         (including respective OmniMix controls), and, in order to keep the   
   TorIp   
   |         feature functional, removes the IP address retrieval ('getinfo   
   address')   
   |         restrictions now providing also client instances with their IP   
   address.   
   |       Path to location of GeoIP/GeoIPv6 files added to Tor's torrc   
   configuration   
   |         file, obsolete 'CircuitIdleTimeout' parameter removed.
