Hi, k e bera, thanks a lot for your reply. The reason that I want to run multiple tor instead of the same exit nodes is because I am trying to figure out what is the capability of this technology, and actually, I am only using this purely for academic purpose. I have already followed your advise and after properly set up separate configuration files for each tor. Then I could use all of them using a python script. I also have subscribed to the tor-talk maillist. Thanks again for your info. Best, /usr/bin
