Renew TOR IP Address from Python Script

Posted December 25, 2018

If you are using TOR inside python script then you may find need to renew IP Address. In this tutorial we will change IP address using stem package. We will use TOR controller file torrc to communicate with TOR.

Install TOR

Before beginning with this tutorial we will assume that you have installed tor on your system and tor services are running on your machine on the port 9050 .

Setup Password

To securely make use of TOR controller API you would need to setup password in tor control file torrc . On Linux system you would find torrc at following location. You would require root access to edit this file.

Generate Hashed Password

TOR does not store password in plain text, rather it store hashed password in torrc file. You can generate hashed password for the tor using following command. Note that same password can get hashed to different values, so please configure recently generated hashed password.

Configure Hashed Password

Hashed password generated above should be stored inside variable HashedControlPassword of the torrc file.

Install STEM Library

We will use python’s stem library released by official tor project to communicate with TOR process using control file. You can install stem library with pip in virtual environment (recommended).

Install Requests and PySocks

TOR requires SOCKS proxy for the communication. We will use python’s requests library as it supports requesting URL with PySocks over SOCKS protocol.

Source Code

In below example we will make 5 requests over TOR to the httpbin’s ip address API and renew IP address after each request. In output you can see we get new TOR IP address for the each request that we make.

Output

How Does TOR IP Renewal Works ?

Following function changes TOR IP Address. It first authenticates with TOR Controller API using previously configured hashed password. Then it sends NEWNYM singnal to the controller upon which controller assigns new IP Address. Note that we are sleeping execution for 5 seconds before making next request as TOR will not assign new IP in very short interval. Also TOR may assign us IP Address which was previously used.

Conclusion and Good Practice

In this tutorial we learned how we can use TOR controller to change IP address in python program. We also learned how to setup hashed credentials in torrc file and authenticate from tor’s stem API. Though TOR give us ability to renew IP address, this feature should not be abused as changing IP address not only puts high load on the tor network but also could endanger tor endpoints due to potential blacklisting by sites if used in abusive way. So before you make use of above code please remember that with great power comes great responsibility.

Tor Browser – Change Country IP Address

Many companies on the Internet allow to access their services from certain countries only.

If you need to access a website that is blocked from your country – you can use a Tor Browser.

By default, the Tor Browser picks random exit nodes from any country, but it can be configured to use the exit nodes with IP addresses from a particular country only.

Set Country in Tor Browser

To use an exit node from a particular country, find your Tor Browser installation folder and navigate to:

Open the file torrc with a text editor.

Add the following line to make the Tor Browser use exit nodes from specified country only, e.g. from the United States:

Tor Country Codes: Letters in curly brackets are ISO-3166 country codes.

You can also specify a list of countries whose IP addresses should be used as an exit point:

The same way you can specify which countries should be used as an entry point or blacklist the nodes located in specified countries.

Use entry nodes with IP addresses from specified countries only:

Never use nodes from these countries, when building a circuit:

Never use nodes from these countries when picking an exit (nodes listed in ExcludeNodes are automatically in this list):

StrictNodes: To really exclude some nodes – you must enable StrictNodes , otherwise the Tor Browser still may use the excluded nodes if it decides that it will be necessary.

Linux tor change ip

TOR IP Changer does not override router ip, it just create proxy which is connected inside TOR network which you can use to hide your real ip address for browser or apps that supports socks4/5 type proxy, and you can change that IP inside TOR network every X seconds. For most cases its just for browsers, but you can use third party software to co-operate with TOR IPchanger to anonymize not just browsers but also other apps which does not have support for socks4/5 type proxy or even whole computer with software like Proxifier.

how to let tor change ip automatically?

After i click the «Use a New Identify» button on Vidalia, i will get a new proxy ip. Can tor change ip automatically?

My program needs random proxies, so the server will not block the connection.

You could modify «/etc/tor/torrc» or in «path/to/your/torbrowser/Data/Tor/torrc» to cycle proxies faster:

Feel free to reuse a circuit that was first used at most NUM seconds ago, but never attach a new stream to a circuit that is too old. (Default: 10 minutes)

Tor creates new circuits on its own every ten minutes. Note that a new circuit does not necessarily mean a new IP, for more information see stem’s faq entry on this.

I experienced that Tor does not update ip for some sites (like vk.com) even when you set the MaxCircuitDirtiness . I dunno if it is some headers they send or if they just pay Tor developers for that =D.

To get around that there was a «New Tor Circuit for this Site» button in older Tor versions (6.5.1) with a Ctrl+Shift+L shortcut. What I did was opening a page of the web site and triggering the Ctrl+Shift+L key combiation every minute using xdotool terminal app:

The only downside is that you have to keep this window opened and focused the whole time =3.

How to use the terminal to change the IP address provided by Tor?

I have the Tor service, and I want to use the terminal to change the IP address which Tor gives me. In other words: How do I request a new IP address from Tor on the command line?

You can simply type or insert in your bash script:

For tor daemon running on Ubuntu, first try this:

If that does not work, enable the control port in your torrc file.

Then, set a password for the control port with tor —hash-password password

Open a telnet connection to the control port and issue the NEWNYM command:

Method 1: HUP

Then check that your IP has changed with:

Tested in Ubuntu 17.10 with sudo apt-get install tor version 1.6.0-5.

sudo is needed since the process is started by root by default.

What an HUP signal does exactly to the Tor daemon is documented at: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/control-spec.txt?id=03aaace9bd9459b0d4bf22a75012acf39d07bcec#n394 and is equivalent to sending some command through the command port.

Browser Bundle 5.0.5 is not affected by this, only daemon ports like the default 9050, which is not used by the TBB. For that use case see: https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/1071/how-can-a-new-circuit-happen-without-closing-all-tabs

If you are deploying an army of Tor IPs as mentioned here you can selectively send:

Method 2: control port

but for that to work on Ubuntu 17.10 you must first:

enable the control port by uncommenting:

Set the empty password, otherwise it gives 515 Authentication failed: Wrong length on authentication cookie. . First run:

This outputs something like:

Now on /etc/tor/torrc update the line:

Bonus: how to check that your IP changed
