    I have installed Google App Engine SDK for Python on Windows 8.1. I use Vidalia Bridge Bundle and the Chrome extension Proxy SwitchySharp to access the net through Tor. But the problem seem to be it doesn't change the system proxy setting and for any application I need to change its setting separately. The Preferences of Google App Engine Launcher has Deployment Server option:

    enter image description here

    But I don't know what to enter there.

    Desperate!

    proxy - Tor not running?
  • Questioner

    I followed the Tor demo. I installed Polipo and configured it. I restarted both Polipo and Tor services.

    Before I had Tor set up, the following script failed.

     def fetch_url(url):
       proxy_support=urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http":"127.0.0.1:8118"})
       opener=urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support)
       opener.addheaders=[('User-agent','Mozilla/5.0')]
       html=opener.open(url).read()
       return html
    

    Now it no longer raises an exception. However, when I go to the Tor check page (see if tor is running), it tells me that Tor is not operational. It also shows me my IP address.

    https://check.torproject.org/

    I've gotten Tor to work on Windows. I've done so, though, through the GUI. Any thoughts on what's going wrong here?

    Thanks, Brendan

    If you're on Linux, which distro are you using?
    Have you started the tor service? For example on ArchLinux: $ /etc/rc.d/tor start && /etc/rc.d/polipo start
    Did you configure polipo to use tor?
    What's the URL of the demo you talked about?
