I have Tor (bundle) browser and when I open this URL :

http://ipecho.net/plain

I get :

89.105.194.71

I set Privoxy in my Ubuntu to use Tor programmatically, but when I run my python code:

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.ipecho.net/plain').read()

I got : 

171.25.193.235

Both IP addresses are exit nodes but why are the exit nodes different even they are using the same connection (I think)?

I ran them many times simultaneously they gave me different IP addresses.

My Privoxy setting (I've change these, others are commented):

forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9150 .
listen-address  127.0.0.1:8118

The setting works fine with non-Tor browser.

  • Do you have a system-wide Tor daemon installed and also use Tor Browser? What are the exact settings you made in Privoxy?

Tor does not use the same exit node for everything. The Tor Browser actually uses a security feature that makes sure it does not share the same circuits with any other program that uses the Tor client.
