After i click the "Use a New Identify" button on Vidalia, i will get a new proxy ip. Can tor change ip automatically?

My program needs random proxies, so the server will not block the connection.

Does Tor automatically change your IP?

When you first open Tor, you're prompted to connect to the Tor network. This connects you to a relay and assigns you a browsing IP address that's different than your current home, work, or school IP address. If you just want to browse the web from a new IP address, this is all you'll need to do to get one!

How often does Tor change your IP?

Your identity will change every 10 minutes. (If the circuit fails, Tor will switch to a new circuit immediately.) But note that a single TCP stream (e.g. a long IRC connection) will stay on the same circuit forever -- we don't rotate individual streams from one circuit to the next.

Can private IP change automatically?

An instance's private IP address will never change during the lifetime of that instance. As per AWS, when an instance is launched in EC2-Classic, it is automatically assigned a public IP address to the instance from the EC2-Classic public IPv4 address pool. This behavior cannot be modified.

You could modify "/etc/tor/torrc" or in "path/to/your/torbrowser/Data/Tor/torrc" to cycle proxies faster:

Feel free to reuse a circuit that was first used at most NUM seconds ago, but never attach a new stream to a circuit that is too old. (Default: 10 minutes)
