how do u hook up Tor with php CURL ?

[jjk2]

i have a simple curl script that grabs today's silver prices.

 

i want to use Tor to hide the servers ip.....and display new ip each day....so it wont look like the server is grabbing the silver prices..... client stressed this, even though i suggested he is paranoid.

Maybe this is more of a Tor problem? Try posting on their forum?

Sorry, I'm probably just inept. What's Tor?

Its a proxy kinda thing

But if the web site did example this, then your

redirected to a error_page, so i am very sure sure your client is very paranoid.

 

sounds like a real overhead off code to me.

 

I am very sure using curl or not, there a way the web site can detect the real ip.

 

 

off course your use a directory database off known proxys aswell.

<?php

if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']==' '){

header('the_web_site..com/error_page.php');

}

?>

 

 

read  this very interesting.

 

What you need to do if you wish to stay anonymous with enabled Java/JavaScript/ActiveX:

 

What's the core of this task and what do you need to do in order to make it work?

 

  1. hide real external IP address in Windows settings

  2. disable direct connection to the Internet (route it only via an anonymous proxy server)

 

There are two options to solve this problem:

 

  1. You need to set up LAN, local IP addresses (192.168.1.x or alike). A corporate proxy server should forwards ALL requests to a free anonymous proxy server (you need to have skills and rights of a system administrator in order to do that). It's impossible to connect to the Internet bypassing a corporate proxy, as long as external IP address is not assigned to local machines. It's also impossible to scan local machine's settings: even if Java/ActiveX applets detects and gives out your local IP address (192.168.1.x) to the web server, your anonymity will remain unbroken. So, basically, you can rate this option as 100% anonymity.

  2. Install Firewall on your machine and restrict all the connections to the Internet (except for the anonymous proxy server) from a browser. It's also recommended to use port mapping for this free anonymous proxy server and define the browser's proxy as 127.0.0.1 with the local port from port mapping. However, this option can be insecure, because your real external IP address can be transferred to the server (the script will scan the Windows settings and detect your real IP).

 

And finally: any proxy server, especially a free proxy, keeps logs (reports) with detailed information on every IP sending requests to it as well as on the time of requests. So, any person or organization authorized to access this information can always find out what places in the web you have visited and what you did there, even if you use a chaining of 10 anonymous proxy servers located in different parts of the world.
