Some website will ban source ip that has abnormal traffic, so we need change source ip.

• OS X EI Capitan 10.11.6
• tor 0.3.0.9
• python 3.5.2
• pysocks 1.6.7
• stem 1.5.4

tips: brew install tor, pip install pysocks, pip install stem

add below to config file(/usr/local/etc/tor/torrc)

Socks5Proxy 127.0.0.1:1080 # maybe you don't need this in your country.
ControlPort 9051 #default
SocksPort 9050 #default
# use tor --hash-password "123456" to generate the hashcode
HashedControlPassword 16: <your hashcode>

notice: change password whatever you like and paste the hashcode after the last colon.

$ brew services start tor
$ python tor.py

that's it, use it, but don't abuse it.
