C# using Privoxy/TOR

Question

I find many example how use Privoxy/TOR for proxy. For example: How to use Tor to make a C# HttpWebRequest

First I installed Vidalia Bundle and than also Privoxy.

Vidalia Bundle using address 127.0.0.1:9115
Privoxy using address 127.0.0.1:8118

I try in code create request on server http://whatismyipaddress.com/.

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://whatismyipaddress.com/");
request.Proxy = new WebProxy("127.0.0.1:8118"); 

using (var response = request.GetResponse())
{
    using (var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8")))
    {
        webBrowser1.DocumentText = reader.ReadToEnd();
    }
}

But this server still see my IP address. What I am doing wrong ? Any advance, thank you.

Edit, with leppie advice: I use this constructor :

   request.Proxy = new WebProxy("127.0.0.1",8118); 

But server still see my IP adress. :(

Application is using Privoxy on port 8118. I need foward on 9115-this is TOR port.

Answer 1

I suspect the url is wrong.

You should probably use the WebProxy(string Host, int Port) constructor.

Answer 2

This works for a remote proxy:

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create("http://whatismyipaddress.com/");
request.Proxy = new WebProxy("110.139.166.78:8080");

using (var req = request.GetResponse())
{
    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(req.GetResponseStream()))
    {
        Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd());
    }
}

Console.ReadLine();
