I have never had much success ripening green tomatoes. No hack or trick ever worked. At best, some them half way ripen, but are never good.
Look up fried green tomatoes, not only is it a great movie, but a great meal too.

Ones with any hint of color will ripen no problem. I just set them all in a pile on the counter and they ripen each other.
The completely green ones can take a long time. I put them in a dark, breathable box and checked on once a week. Throw out ones that get bad/squishy. I had about 50/50 success with green ones finally ripening. Last year I had some tomatoes last through February since they took forever to ripen

They ripen but IIRC they will not get rid of solanine as they need the plant to do that, so it’s advised not to eat too much in one sitting.
My godmother loves preparing green tomato jam so that’s an option also.

Paper bags or cardboard boxes with an apple. Apples release ethylene gas that ripens fruit.
