I have the following code:

with Controller.from_port(port = 9151) as controller:

                    controller.authenticate()
                    socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, "127.0.0.1", 9150)
                    socket.socket = socks.socksocket
                    controller.signal(Signal.NEWNYM)


                    url= "https://www.example.com"

                    browser = mechanize.Browser()

                    text = browser.open(url).read()

When I run it I get the following lengthy traceback:

How can I fix this?

  • yes i do use the stem library. i was actually able to resolve the above issue . now the programs runs properly. However when it opens the url for the google page that i am trying to read i get a 503 error, do you know why this happens? @JensKubieziel

  • @JensKubieziel does google automatically block a request if it sees that it comes from a Tor network?

  • @abcla No it does not blocks a request from Tor on automatical basis

Here are your pyCURL and a howto

UPDATE: Copy-pasting by request - copyright to code to sources mentioned upstrings:

amnesia@amnesia: ~$ cat checkTor.py
#!/usr/bin/env python

import pycurl

curl = pycurl.Curl()
curl.setopt( pycurl.URL, 'https://check.torproject.org/' )
curl.setopt( pycurl.PROXY, '127.0.0.1' )
curl.setopt( pycurl.PROXYPORT, 9050 )
curl.setopt( pycurl.PROXYTYPE, pycurl.PROXYTYPE_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME )

curl.perform()
amnesia@amnesia: ~$ time ./checkTor.py
<!doctype html>
...
Congratulations. This browser is configured to use Tor.
...
real 0m2.487s
user 0m0.060s
sys 0m0.000s

That is your HTTPS request via Tor, no DNS leaks. Your STEM request must not use proxy - Tor does not allow LAN IP's through SOCKS, and it's correct. You must not use any proxies sending signal NEWNYM. To capture HTML output use cURL options like RETURN_TRANSFER - see docs to fit your needs

  • Your answer is not really helpful as it stands. Please describe a specific solution to the question. Links to other sites might disappear.
    – Jens Kubieziel ♦

  • @JensKubieziel would you please be so kind reading the links provided before complaining about the answer? If the links to the cURL for Python official site will be dead - then pycurl itself will be dead and an answer will be useles even if there will be a full copy-paste. Or should I attach an official repository source code snapshot too? For a case, you know? This is really ridiculous complain, man! No offense - just check the links and smile =)
