Comment (by cypherpunks): Curious, eh? That's good, but it will "eat" a cat :P Short answer: Because I want to use HTTP proxy. Long answer: I know many people who use TBB with HTTP proxy. Some of reasons: 1. To take a complete log of requests. 2. To filter out certain destination using their DNS servers(e.g., custom hosts) 3. To share Tor access with other software that doesn't support SOCKS but HTTP. 4. More. We all understand this might reduce anomity. However, you should know that there are many, YES, MANY, people use Tor without Firefox! No, really, this might bring you heart attack, but it's true. I have several legal websites hosting on .onion. According to my access log, 40% of access use non-TBB browser, such as Firefox 64bit, iPhone, Chrome(!), Safari, etc etc. I've kicked non-TBB user(return 301 <tbb download page>) after I saw that. Back to the primary discussion, when will you consider custom proxy? We just want to use our own HTTPS/SOCKS4/5/PAC proxy to hide IP using Tor. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23138#comment:8> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
