Yeah that's a completely different question. No wonder you didn't get the answer you were expecting. A key phrase you're looking for is "stream isolation." Or keep asking Tor for a new identity. Both can be rather wasteful. Perhaps the best answer is to just build the circuits yourself, but if you're new to programming/python, that isn't going to be obtainable. As those docs you linked to say: > Tor does not have a method for cycling your IP address. This is on purpose, and done for a couple reasons. The first is that this capability is usually requested for not-so-nice reasons such as ban evasion or SEO. Second, repeated circuit creation puts a very high load on the Tor network, so please don't! At this time, this is all I think I should say. It sounds a lot like you're trying to do some of those things that hurt Tor: either by unfairly consuming its resources for your personal gain (e.g. yet another hobby Tor-powered web crawler or SEO), or by harming its reputation by "ethically" hacking or vulnerability scanning the web. You can email me off-list with actual information about what you're working on if you think it's a good use of Tor and I will help further. Otherwise for further questions I suggest tor-talk@. -- Matt _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
