Hmm, on this page: http://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en in the docs it says: Using privoxy is necessary because browsers leak your DNS requests when they use a SOCKS proxy directly, which is bad for your anonymity. Privoxy also removes certain dangerous headers from your web requests, and blocks obnoxious ad sites like Doubleclick. Is that no longer true? If it is still true, is there any way to get privoxy to use stunnel for its SSL connections so that the SSL connection is only from privoxy to the server? -Martin ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better sports nut!
