> I don't need content filtering but fast browsing instead. Polipo is a web proxy that is significantly faster than both Privoxy and Squid, and does work well with tor.
You will find a description of Polipo and a link to the manual on http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/ If you use Polipo rather than Privoxy, be aware that Polipo does no application-layer scrubbing by default, and can optionally perform only scrubbing of headers. If you don't understand this paragraph, please stick to Privoxy[1]. Note that the stable version of Polipo doesn't support tor; you'll need to use the latest beta. This means that you might (or might not) encounter crashes, you might (or might not) have security issues, and you will (or will not) send me helpful bug reports. This warranty is void in case of nuclear conflict, whether caused by Polipo or not. If you are under Unix (Linux, BSD Unix, Mac OS X, etc.), you will need to grab the sources of the latest beta and compile it yourself, e.g. by doing darcs get http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/repos/polipo/ or, if you don't have Darcs, wget -r -l1 http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/repos/polipo/ If you're under Windows, I've put an experimental Windows binary (one that is believed to be fully functional) on http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/files/polipo/polipo-20060920.exe http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/files/polipo/polipo-20060920.exe.asc Once you got yourself a binary suitable for your platform, run Polipo as so: ./polipo socksParentProxy=localhost:9050 and point your browser at the proxy on http://localhost:8123/ Your feedback is very much needed, especially if you are a Windows user. Please write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Enjoy, Juliusz [1] My previous comments about the Via header are now obsolete -- Polipo no longer uses Via by default.
