I finally solved my problem (tested on a VM with Ubuntu 20.04 to be able to install selenium4). I've made my example script as simple as possible but I've tested a lot of things in the last 2 days and found nothing relevant. : Message: Reached error page: about:neterror?e=prox圜onnectFailure&u= is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. The script is not blocking anymore and TorBrowser tries to contact but the TorBrowser never connects to the tor network, resulting in the following error : If I replace binary = FirefoxBinary("tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser")īy binary = FirefoxBinary("tor-browser_en-US/Browser/firefox") The output of the script prints 0, never prints 1 and the TorBrowser never tries to connect to My script gets blocked once I try to instanciate the webdriver. t_preference('_port', 9050)īinary = FirefoxBinary("tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser")ĭriver = webdriver.Firefox(options=options, firefox_binary=binary) Profile = FirefoxProfile("tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/fault")

I'm trying to do the things step by step so, in this test, I'm using a freshly new TorBrowser archive without the personalized profile : #!/usr/bin/pythonįrom _binary import FirefoxBinaryįrom import Options as FirefoxOptionsįrom _profile import FirefoxProfile Here is the code I used to try and launch TorBrowser through Selenium. User_pref("_port", ChangeToTheDesiredPort2) I know it's possible to run multiple TorBrowser instances (without selenium) by specifying the ports we want to use in each TorBrowser bundle by adding this lines to Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/fault/user.js : user_pref("_port", ChangeToTheDesiredPort1) When I right-clicked this file and selected Open, Tor Browser opened successfully. I'd like to use TorBrowser to be able to run multiple instances using different tor exit relay. To toggle show/hide hidden files and folders press the keyboard combination Ctrl+H or click the three horizontal lines icon in the upper right corner of Files application and put a checkmark next to the Show Hidden Files option. I've been able to use the tor network through selenium using the tor daemon and a firefox instance. It’s a modified version of Firefox that’s configured to connect to sites through the Tor network.I'd like to run TorBrowser through selenium. onion address, you’ll need to access it through the Tor Browser. But it’s a useful tool for anonymizing your Internet activity and bypassing censorship. You don’t necessarily want to use Tor all the time, as it’s slower than just browsing normally. This may be useful in countries that block Facebook, for example. This allows you to access Facebook through Tor, and your connection doesn’t ever leave Tor where it can be snooped on. It also means that someone hosting a website can hide that server using the Tor network, so no one can find it–in theory.įor example, Facebook maintains an official Tor hidden services address at “”. This means that your browsing activity can’t be snooped on by someone watching the Tor exit nodes. A “.onion” address points to a Tor hidden service, which is a server you can only access through Tor. RELATED: Is Tor Really Anonymous and Secure?īut that means that “last mile” of traffic can be snooped on by an organization monitoring or even running the exit nodes–especially if your traffic is unencrypted. Google sees this as the exit node’s IP address contacting it instead of your IP address. That exit node then contacts for you, and it sends you back the data Google responded with. So, when you access through Tor, your request bounces from Tor relay to Tor relay before it reaches an “exit node”. When you connect to Tor, your internet activity is sent through the Tor network, anonymizing your Internet activity so it can’t be snooped on, and so that you can access websites that may be blocked in your country. It’s partially funded by the US government, and is designed to help people in countries where Internet access may be censored or monitored. Tor–short for “the onion router”–is an anonymizing computer network.
