How to Use Python TOR to Change IP Address: Best Practices and Code Examples?

Hey! For Python TOR change IP address, I’d recommend checking out the `stem` library. It’s super handy for controlling TOR and rotating IPs.

Here’s a quick snippet to rotate IPs:
```python
from stem import Signal
from stem.control import Controller

with Controller.from_port(port=9051) as controller:
controller.authenticate()
controller.signal(Signal.NEWNYM)
```
Make sure your TOR config allows control ports. As for rotation frequency, don’t go crazy—like every 10-15 mins is safe. Too fast, and you might get flagged.

Also, check out [Tor Project’s docs](https://support.torproject.org/) for more deets.
