I have a python script I made which requests pages on the web. I am using a mac os and am using a socks proxy on 127.0.0.1:9150 on my wifi (pass all apps thru proxy --tor--). Using wireshark, how do I know it is using the proxy for sure? I can view every request in plain text!

Note: I know my browsers are well setup with tor.

  • @JasonSec Right, well do you know how to make sure it uses the proxy or I create a new post for that?

  • You should post a description of your problem and the relevant python code that makes the request to stackoverflow or another programming Q/A forum, yes.

check your ip

session = requests.session()
session.proxies = {}
session.proxies['http'] = 'socks5h://localhost:9150'
session.proxies['https'] = 'socks5h://localhost:9150'
r = session.get("http://httpbin.org/ip")
print(r.text)
