I am dealing with Scrapy, Privoxy and Tor. I have all installed and properly working. But Tor connects with the same IP everytime, so I can easily be banned. Is it possible to tell Tor to reconnect each X seconds or connections? Thanks! EDIT about the configuration: For the user agent pool i did this: http://tangww.com/2013/06/UsingRandomAgent/ (I had to put a _ init _.py file as it is said in the comments), and for the Privoxy and Tor I followed http://www.andrewwatters.com/privoxy/ (I had to create the private user and private group manually with the terminal). It worked :) My spider is this

I've spent the last few days messing around with Selenium, Tor, and Firefox as a combination for multiple tasks. I've managed to write a simple script in Python that takes control of Firefox through Selenium, while Firefox is connected to Tor for privacy. Now, I'm looking for a way to save resources, so I thought of running Firefox in headless mode, which I thought was a common feature but it doesn't seem to be that. I'm looking for a method to do just that. The reason for it being Firefox and not some terminal based browser is because of the extension "TorButton" that I'm using within Firefox

This question already has an answer here: How to make urllib2 requests through Tor in Python? 12 answers How to route urllib requests through the TOR network? This works for me (using urllib2, haven't tried urllib): def req(url): proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "127.0.0.1:8118"}) opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support) opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0')] return opener.open(url).read() print req('http://google.com') Tor works as a proxy, right? So ask yourself "How do I use proxies in urllib?" Now, when I look at the docs, first thing I see is urllib.urlopen

I have Tor running on my computer, and I need to change the Tor exit node every five minutes. For example, if I start using Tor via some exit node, then in 5 minutes I want Tor to change to an exit node with a different IP address. How can I do this? Tor, as far as I know, is listening to port 8051 on localhost. What commands can I send to this port to make Tor build a new chain, so that I can get another IP address? (echo authenticate '""'; echo signal newnym; echo quit) | nc localhost 9051 Method 1: HUP sudo killall -HUP tor Then check that your IP has changed with: curl --socks5 127.0.0.1

Because Tor Browser Bundle is just a patched version of Firefox, it seems that it should be possible to use a FirefoxDriver with Tor Browser. This is what I've tried so far: String torPath = "C:\\Users\\My User\\Desktop\\Tor Browser\\Start Tor Browser.exe"; String profilePath = "C:\\Users\\My User\\Desktop\\Tor Browser\\Data\\Browser\\profile.default"; FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile(new File(profilePath)); FirefoxBinary binary = new FirefoxBinary(new File(torPath)); FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(binary, profile); driver.get("http://www.google.com"); This results in a

Is it possible to make selenium use the TOR browser? Does anyone have any code they could copy-paste? 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

I'm trying to connect to a Tor hidden service using the following PHP code: $url = 'http://jhiwjjlqpyawmpjx.onion/' $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://127.0.0.1:9050/"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_SOCKS5); $output = curl_exec($ch); $curl_error = curl_error($ch); curl_close($ch); print_r($output); print_r($curl_error); When I run it, I get the following error: Couldn't resolve host name However, when I run the following command from my command line in Ubuntu: curl -v -

I have the following script: import socks import socket socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, "127.0.0.1", 9050) socket.socket = socks.socksocket import urllib2 print(urllib2.urlopen("http://www.ifconfig.me/ip").read()) which uses tor and SocksiPy Now I want to change tor identity with each request, for example: for i in range(0, 10): #somehow change tor identity print(urllib2.urlopen("http://www.ifconfig.me/ip").read()) How can I do this? 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
