i am trying to connect to TOR through python but it doesnt let me the code is:
def tor_connection():
socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, "127.0.0.1", 9050, True)
socket.socket = socks.socksocket
def main():
tor_connection()
print('Connected to tor')
con = httplib.HTTPConnection('myip.dnsomatic.com/')
con.request('GET', '/')
response = con.getresponse()
print(response.read())
main()
even though its giving me the next error message:
