Python Selenium with Tor Proxy and IP Change Verification 🌐🔒

[bhargavnova]

Objective:

Develop a Python script or module that utilizes Selenium with a Tor proxy to obtain a WebDriver for browsing, ensuring anonymity. Additionally, include functionality to verify that the IP address has changed.

Features:

1. Tor Proxy Setup:

   • Implement a function to configure Selenium to use a Tor proxy for browsing.

2. Get WebDriver:

   • Provide a function that creates and returns a WebDriver for controlled browsing.

3. IP Change Verification:

   • Develop a mechanism to confirm that the IP address has changed after connecting through Tor.
   • well you can use Tor's official website that has information, whether you are connected to Tor or not. https://check.torproject.org/

4. User-Friendly Output:

   • Provide clear feedback on the WebDriver creation and IP address verification.

Example Usage:

# Example usage of the Selenium with Tor proxy script
import selenium_with_tor

# Configure Selenium with Tor proxy
selenium_with_tor.setup_tor_proxy()

# Get a WebDriver for browsing
driver = selenium_with_tor.get_webdriver()

# Check if the IP address has changed
ip_changed = selenium_with_tor.verify_ip_change()

if ip_changed:
    print("IP address has changed.")
else:
    print("IP address remains the same.")

Difficulty: Intermediate/Advanced
