Torpy not working on windows: socket.timeout: timed out / [WinError 10054]

[Dominik Weckmüller]

Torpy is not running anymore on Windows. The following minimal example always results in a timeout.

from torpy.http.requests import TorRequests
with TorRequests() as tor_requests:
    with tor_requests.get_session() as sess:
        response = sess.get("https://www.google.com/")
        print(response)

Returns:

timed out

If on Jupyter, it returns the Windows Error code as well
ConnectionResetError: [WinError 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Update 2: It's really odd, sometimes it's only working on Windows, sometimes only on Ubuntu. Does anyone have an idea where the OS differences come from?

[Frederic Denker]

I have a newly setup windows 10 installation and it returns a very similar error when I run your code block:

Does it currently work on Ubuntu for you?

[Dominik Weckmüller]

Around 18 hours ago it only worked on Windows and not on Ubuntu. Otherwise until now I noticed it generally works better on Ubuntu (if it works at all).
At the moment no OS is working for me.

Because of errors and not optimal logic inside torpy tor authority server was under high traffic load. And was trying to block torpy. See https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/33018 for details.

445bc22 should fix this

[Saad TAZROUTE]

do you guys still have the same issue ?

[Artucuno]

do you guys still have the same issue ?

Tor V2 is deprecated, this library won't work until it supports Tor V3
