TorController

Simple project to tunnel your connections through tor network.

Find tor executable

Download and extract tor from here.

Linux executable should be here: tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/tor.

Windows executable should be here: Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\tor.exe

Examples

The TorController has three simple methods:

1. startUp() to start a tor process and connect to the control server

2. changeIdentity() to change your identity (ip)

3. shutDown() to disconnect from control server and terminate the tor process

Minimal example

String executable = "tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/tor";
TorController tor = new TorController(executable);
if(tor.startUp()){
  //...
  if(tor.changeIdentity()){
    //...
  }
  if(tor.shutDown()){
    //...
  }
}

Tunnel UrlConnection

String url = "http://api.ipify.org/?format=text";
TorController tor = new TorController(...);
tor.startUp()
SocketAddress proxyAddr = new InetSocketAddress("127.0.0.1", tor.getSocksPort());
Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.SOCKS, proxyAddr);
URLConnection connection = new URL(url).openConnection(proxy);
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));

String line;
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
  System.out.println(line);
}
rd.close();

Tunnel Apache Http Client, JSoup or Selenium FirefoxDriver

Set password and ports

The TorController uses 9150 and 9151 as default ports for socks and controll server. Set them in constructor if you want. You can also specify a password to protect your local tor control server from other connections. Make sure your set the password before you start the TorController:

int socks_port = 1337;
int control_port = 1338
String path = ".../tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/tor";
TorController tor = new TorController(path,socks_port,control_port);
tor.setPassword("Mb2.r5oHf-0t".toCharArray());
tor.startUp()
