Hello im having hard time to use the tor stem module, it causes error on the with Controller.from_port(port=9050) as controller:I tried to check if my i am running on port 9050 using netstats, the service on the tor is already enabled
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9050 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
Here's my setup
import requests
import socks
import socket
from stem import Signal
from stem.control import Controller
socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, "127.0.0.1", 9050)
socket.socket = socks.socksocket
session = requests.session()
def renew_tor_ip():
with Controller.from_port(port=9050) as controller:
controller.authenticate(password='malakititeko')
controller.signal(Signal.NEWNYM)
renew_tor_ip()
The traceback error:

Based on you given code change the port to the 9051 and configure the password on the torrc found on the etc/tor/ uncomment the ControlPort, password replace that with your own password generated using tor --hash-pssword <your password> this should work
