You need to set option CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE to CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME, which sadly wasn’t defined in old PHP versions, circa pre-5.6; if you have earlier in but you can explicitly use its value, which is equal to 7: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, 7);
If you want different IPs for each connection, you can also use Stream Isolation over SOCKS by specifying a different proxy username:password combination for each connection. With this method, you only need one Tor instance and each requests client can use a different stream with a different exit node. In order to set this up, … Read more
Because Tor Browser Bundle wasn’t letting me use the WebDriver extension, I found a workaround in which I ran Tor from a regular Firefox browser. With this method, as long as the Tor Browser is open, you can use Tor with a regular Firefox browser. Open Tor Browser: File torProfileDir = new File( “…\\Tor Browser\\Data\\Browser\\profile.default”); … Read more
Tor wrote a new TOR control library in Python, stem. It can be found on PyPI. They provide some nice tutorials how to work with it, one of them explains how to change your identity: from stem import Signal from stem.control import Controller with Controller.from_port(port = 9051) as controller: controller.authenticate() controller.signal(Signal.NEWNYM) Make sure your config … Read more
I managed to resolve this by updating to v9.5.1 and implementing the following changes: Note that although the code is in C# the same changes to the Tor browser and how it is launched should be applied. FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile(profilePath); profile.SetPreference(“network.proxy.type”, 1); profile.SetPreference(“network.proxy.socks”, “127.0.0.1”); profile.SetPreference(“network.proxy.socks_port”, 9153); profile.SetPreference(“network.proxy.socks_remote_dns”, false); FirefoxDriverService firefoxDriverService = FirefoxDriverService.CreateDefaultService(geckoDriverDirectory); firefoxDriverService.FirefoxBinaryPath … Read more
The problem is that httplib.HTTPConnection uses the socket module’s create_connection helper function which does the DNS request via the usual getaddrinfo method before connecting the socket. The solution is to make your own create_connection function and monkey-patch it into the socket module before importing urllib2, just like we do with the socket class. import socks … Read more
If you have privoxy installed and running you can do request.Proxy = new WebProxy(“127.0.0.1:8118”); // default privoxy port Which will enable you to make requests using tor
Don’t use the TBB, just set the correct proxy settings in whatever browser you’re using. In FF for example, like this: #set some privacy settings ff_prof.set_preference( “places.history.enabled”, False ) ff_prof.set_preference( “privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps”, True ) ff_prof.set_preference( “privacy.clearOnShutdown.passwords”, True ) ff_prof.set_preference( “privacy.clearOnShutdown.siteSettings”, True ) ff_prof.set_preference( “privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown”, True ) ff_prof.set_preference( “signon.rememberSignons”, False ) ff_prof.set_preference( “network.cookie.lifetimePolicy”, 2 ) ff_prof.set_preference( “network.dns.disablePrefetch”, … Read more
To use Tor with Chrome browser through Selenium you can use the following solution: Code Block: from selenium import webdriver import os # To use Tor’s SOCKS proxy server with chrome, include the socks protocol in the scheme with the –proxy-server option # PROXY = “socks5://127.0.0.1:9150” # IP:PORT or HOST:PORT torexe = os.popen(r’C:\Users\Debanjan.B\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\tor.exe’) PROXY … Read more
You are trying to connect to a SOCKS port – Tor rejects any non-SOCKS traffic. You can connect through a middleman – Privoxy – using Port 8118. Example: proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({“http” : “127.0.0.1:8118”}) opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support) opener.addheaders = [(‘User-agent’, ‘Mozilla/5.0’)] print opener.open(‘http://www.google.com’).read() Also please note properties passed to ProxyHandler, no http prefixing the ip:port
