Package: tor
Version: 0.2.3.25-1
Severity: wishlist

This might be useful when one wants to use tor for the only purpose
of accessing *.onion domains.

This could happen because user isn't concerned about his own anonimity
in this particular session, but nevertheless wants to access a service
which has been banned by a totalitarian regime.

A typical example would be http://jntlesnev5o7zysa.onion/ which
doesn't necessarily involve any unlawful activity, but is regardless
often censored by authorities.

If it was provided somewhere in the system (e.g. /usr/share/doc or
/etc), user could enable it right away by pointing his proxy.pac URL
to it using "file://" prefix.

I agree that this can be a useful and valid proxy setting, but since we
recommend people not use Tor stand-alone for webbrowsing, I think we
shouldn't do this.

Cheers,
