I want to write some script with python which uses tor/proxy addresses to access web, for the test I have the following script:
import urllib2
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
protocol = 'socks4'
ip = '127.0.0.1:9050'
proxy = urllib2.ProxyHandler({protocol:ip})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
page = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.ifconfig.me/ip").read()
print(page)
The problem is it shows my own IP address, while when run directly from terminal:
proxychains curl ifconfig.me/ip
shows different IP, how can I fix it?
when http used instead of socks 4 it gives the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "proxy_test.py", line 11, in <module>
page = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.ifconfig.me/ip").read()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 126, in urlopen
return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)

response = meth(req, response)

result = func(*args)

raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
