Request successful but it's still my IP

[diamond-fish]

I'm trying to use this on my Raspberry Pi 3B. Followed instructions in the README and everything works, but it seems it's still using my real IP.

Code:

from torrequest import TorRequest

def main():
  with TorRequest(proxy_port=9050, ctrl_port=9051, password=<password>) as tor_request:
    response = tor_request.get('https://check.torproject.org/')
    print(response.text)

if __name__ == '__main__':
  main()

The response shows "Sorry. You are not using Tor."

The only settings I changed in /etc/tor/torrc was uncomment SocksPort to add my IP address and port 9050. The service status appears to be OK:

I have the same problem on windows. I installed Tor browser and tried to connect but it is not hiding. External connects does work in other external connections, just not torrequest.

Update:

I saw in another issue this solution which worked for me:

tr.session.proxies.update({ 'https': 'socks5h://localhost:9150', #assuming your local proxy port is 9050 'http': 'socks5h://localhost:9150', #assuming your local proxy port is 9050 })

(Not sure if the http is useful but I added it since I was using an http link to check the ip)
