Fucx\TorCurl - Not a very complex thing, but very helpful curl wrapper utilizing Tor Proxy connection to be anonymous and for dynamically changing IP address.

Version:

1.0

Author:

Requirements:

• PHP 7.1 or greater

Description:

Fucx\TorCurl provides a curl wrapper that works together with Tor. The main functionality is to start a Tor process and to perform curl requests (GET|POST). This codepack is not perfect, but should be very helpful for those who wanna bypass ip-blocks when performing to many requests against a server. Please use with good intent. I take no responsibiliy for any misuse or damage caused by using this package and should be used with valid concent and at your own risk.

Setup

Make sure you have Tor installed with CLI support. See install instructions here for different OS.

Troubleshooting

You can always add verbose mode to the ProxyConfig for full verbose reporting.

$config = new ProxyConfig();
$config->verbose();

• ProxyNotExistException: Means that Tor didn't start and it can't connect to the proxy or the proxy configuration was wrong. Check your /torrc file for proper IP and Port
• ProxyConnectionException: Problem getting identity from Tor connection. You have Tor installed? Test terminal command tor.
• TorCurlExecutionException: Your curl request returned some errors. Error should be thrown.
• NotImplementedException: I just didn't care to implement it.
• SingeltonException: Basically what it says. You have to initialize the curl wrapper through the static Curl::init method and not new Curl
• ProxyStartException: Problem starting proxy for some reason. Probably because of ProxyConfig parameter mismatch. Run verbose.

If you get SSL issues: $curl->ignoreSSL().

Also, if Tor suddenly stop working properly, run killall tor and try again.

Examples:

The source package comes with some examples of interacting with the Tor Curl Wrapper. See the examples/ directory in the source package.

TODO: (I won't actually ever do this, so feel free to fork and do)

• Refactor the entire shit to look more tech savvy
• Implement all request methods that I didn't give a fucx about
