windows - Tor on Google App Engine Launcher
2014-07
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:
But I don't know what to enter there.
Desperate!
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.
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?
