Research direction
Investigate how nipe currently starts Tor (likely in a Perl script). Explore the StackOverflow solution about running multiple Tor processes with different exit IPs. Determine the changes needed to the start command to allow multiple Tor instances, possibly by adding command line options or configuration files. Check if any existing PRs or comments provide more details.
