How to get a new identity of TOR from Customed Workstation?

Support

I used to change identity by cutting off the internal network several minutes then plugging in, so a new identity (new IP address) is given to my webbrowser on custom Workstation. That is a big time waste, can I do it by controlling the Tor from my Workstation to order Whonix Gateway arranges a IP address for me?

I would say modifying the torrc of the gateway:

# The default is usually set to 60 seconds
NewCircuitPeriod 60
# This option specifies how long a circuit can be used before it is considered "dirty" and eligible for replacement. The default is usually set to 10 minutes (600 seconds).
# 300 seconds = 5 mins
MaxCircuitDirtiness 300
# This option allows you to specify how long (in seconds) a guard should be used before it is considered for replacement. The default is typically set to 120 days (10,368,000 seconds).
# 604,800 seconds = 1 week
EntryGuardLifetime 604800

You can ignore guard lifetime as this can effect anonymity.
