Its a SOCKS-->HTTP translator of sorts. In other news, I updated the
"Firefox Performance with Tor" entry to reference the FasterFox plugin,
and removed the reference to the Squid proxy acceleration procedure
that we all deemed a "bad thing" several months ago. In other news, speaking of ETM, There is a mirror plus other documents at http://anonymity-portal.us. ~Andrew Thomas Sjögren wrote: On Wed, Feb 22, 2006 at 09:13:10AM -0800, Anothony Georgeo wrote:Hi, I was reading the site "ExitTheMatrix" ( http://jdoe.freeshell.org/howtos/ExitTheMatrix/ar01s03.html ) and I found directions to route non-HTTP protocols through Privoxy... Quoted from ExitTheMatrix: -------------------------- If you intend to use Privoxy to access non-web ports (such as IRC), you may want to edit "default.action" and replace the line containing "limit-connect" with "+limit-connect{1-}" to allow privoxy to connect to all ports. -------------------------- Has anyone tried this? I thought Privoxy was only an HTTP srubber.See http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO#Irssi for instructions on how to use Irssi and Privoxy.What would the benifit be to routing other protocols through Privoxy?See http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS /Thomas |
