This is because your Privoxy is configured by default to only allow HTTPS connections to port 443, as the original response to your question stated. You need to configure Privoxy to enable HTTPS connections to other ports. This is a Frequently Asked Question - see http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#head-b53af6f5168ddc7ddbed28ec8a62381d56d02ffb for the solution.

The Plesk addresses are https://domain/etc:8443 Usual addresses https work fine with my config, it is when I want to connect to the port 8443 that it fails. And I have no Privoxy error page, nothing. Just a blank page. F44

(Usual > config for https is 127.0.0.1:8118) Some Privoxy configurations limit CONNECT to port 443 or block it all together. By default Privoxy answers those request with an error message inside the HTTP headers because some user agents get confused otherwise. If you use a browser that hides HTTP headers, these error messages are obviously easy to overlook. > To solve the problem, I have to delete all entries the https entry, and > so I use the Socks5 proxy on 127.0.0.1:9050 > Isn't there a way (probably something to add in the Privoxy config?) to > be able to connect through Tor to https://x:8443 without using the > Socks5 proxy? You can just make an exception or disable limit-connect for all sites: http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/actions-file.html#LIMIT-CONNECT If you use Privoxy 3.0.5 beta you could also enable: http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/actions-file.html#TREAT-FORBIDDEN-CONNECTS-LIKE-BLOCKS to get the standard HTML error message for blocked sites next time you try to CONNECT to a blocked port. Please read the fine print about its limitations first. Fabian -- http://www.fabiankeil.de/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Connecting to special ports through Tor/Privoxy
Hello! Not sure it is the best place here for this topic, sorry if I mistake! Config: Firefox 2 Privoxy Tor (Vidalia) When I want to connect through Tor to special port as 8443 by https (Plesk panels), I simply cannot and always get a blank page. (Usual config for https is 127.0.0.1:8118) To solve the problem, I have to delete all entries the https entry, and so I use the Socks5 proxy on 127.0.0.1:9050 Earlier I used the multiproxy extension for Firefox, had one entry "tor (usual)" and one entry "Tor (Socks5)". So that was easy to change. Using now TorButton, this isn't the same, as I have to edit the "Preferences" every time. Isn't there a way (probably something to add in the Privoxy config?) to be able to connect through Tor to https://x:8443 without using the Socks5 proxy? Thank you
