Project description
Proctor
Proctor is an HTTP proxy that will distribute requests across a number of Tor circuits, in a round-robin fashion.
The Tor circuits are monitored for their health and restarted as appropriate.
This is highly experimental software that likely misses a lot of corner cases. The main author is a newbie in the subject matter, and while he had a lot of fun doing this thing (which works well for his own use), use it at your own risk.
Installation and usage
Installation:
$ python setup.py install
This will start proctor on port 8080 with 2 Tor circuits:
$ proctor
Credits
Inspiration came from this article from Sebastian Wain over at Data Big Bang:
This package is built on top of two awesome projects:
pymiproxy (Nadeem Douba)
SocksiPy-branch (several people, original author was Dan-Haim)
