--- Begin Message ---Package: privoxy Version: 3.0.3-3 Severity: wishlist I'd love to be able to toggle privoxy's use of TOR (via socks) vs. direct internet connection as easily as toggling the filtering of privoxy. Rationale: I'm very fond of privoxy's filtering capabilities, and would like to use them all the time. In addition, I have to use TOR from time to time in order to access certain web pages. Unfortunately, TOR considerably slows down web browsing (at least from my location), so that its permanent use is not enjoyable at present. While privoxy's filtering can be switched on and off very easily (and quickly, e.g. using a browser shortcut), this is not the case for its forwarding. Changing the browser's proxy settings is also not exactly quick to do (and would leave me without privoxy's service). Thus, I'd very much like a function to toggle between various "forwarding"-states in the same fashion that filtering can be toggled. Do you think this is a reasonable feature request? Shouldn't it be relatively easy to implement?

Good news: this is now possible by using the new client-tag feature, which was implemented in privoxy 3.0.25. For this you have to define a tag in /etc/privoxy/config like this: client-specific-tag tor Use TOR Proxy Then you have to define an action in (for example) /etc/privoxy/user.action like this: {+forward-override{forward-socks5t 127.0.0.1:9050 .} } CLIENT-TAG:^tor$ This changes forwarding towards the tor proxy, if client tag "tor" is active. Now you can enable/disable this tag in the browser via http://config.privoxy.org/client-tags This all may be optimized by adding stricter cookie policy etc. if client-tag tor is active. You also may think about defining tor as the default forward proxy and define a client tag "no-tor", the (temporarily) disabled tor, since restarting privoxy disables all former active client-tags and you have to manually enable them. So restarting privoxy with my above example, may disable tor without your notice... I think that this solves your issue, so I close it now. Tschoeeee Roland
