Hi, On the subject of generic and easy to maintain fixes, we may also want to investigate using Privoxy:
http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/actions-file.html#HIDE-USER-AGENT Effectively, I think that means we'd want to have privoxy running on the system rather than polipo and that we'd want to have it have the following configuration value: hide-user-agent{Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0} If we consider https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/PrivoxyConfig we may want a configuration file like so: forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 . confdir /etc/privoxy logdir /var/log/privoxy logfile logfile debug 4096 # Startup banner and warnings debug 8192 # Errors - *we highly recommended enabling this* listen-address 127.0.0.1:8118 toggle 1 enable-remote-toggle 0 enable-edit-actions 0 enable-remote-http-toggle 0 buffer-limit 4096 hide-user-agent{Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0} We may want additional listeners and of course, if we don't configure the user agents, we'll leak a lot of User Agent data that privoxy won't replace inside of SSL/TLS connections. All the best, Jacob _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
