Hi !

I have declare few TLDs to be blocked in external privoxy action file (try.action) whose location is declared in main config file (/etc/privoxy/config) with entries:


+hide-user-agent {Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.116 Safari/537.36}

# user-agent that should be available to all sites.

{+hide-referer {block}}

# referrers should be blocked for all sites.

{+block +handle-as-image}

.cm
.io
.info
.
.
so on

{-block -handle-as-image}

http://knowledge.info

# few urls that I dont want to be blocked

Only TLDs are getting blocked, other declartions are not working i.e

1) User-agent is not getting forged
2) How to check whether referrers are blocked or not (without webserver's log)?
3) TLD's are getting blocked.
4) http://knowledge.info is also getting blocked (whereas it should not).

I know, I am making a silly mistake.

Do declarations 1,2 and 4 need to be declared somewhere else for eg. in default.action file??

PLZ suggest.
Thanks in advance.

IIRC default.action and standard.action shouldn't be messed with, you could add this declaration to the start of user.action which would match all URLs:
and check against http://config.privoxy.org/show-request or http://browserspy.dk/useragent.php.


Set it to "+hide-referer{http://fbi.or.nsa/}" and visit http://www.whatismyreferer.com/ or http://browserspy.dk/headers.php ?


Check the http://config.privoxy.org/show-url-i...wledge.info%2F link?

Thanks for quick response

I tried putting code on the top of user.action, but privoxy failed to start & logfile is showing
invalid line 1: {+hide-user-agent{.....} \

I tried changing syntax removing brackets,adding/removing space but its not working

Further I would like to ask how make privoxy pass ONLY https traffic via port 443?
Will {+limit-connect {443} +https-only} do the job?

Post (or attach as plain text) the lines leading up to the "{+hide-user-agent{.....} \" line?


"limit-connect" only governs the ports Privoxy is allowed to connect to and the "https-only" I don't recognize. Point me to the documentation please?

Actually, I was looking on internet for a way to make Privoxy pass ONLY
https traffic via port 443.There is no document describing {+limit-connect {443}
+https-only} , but found on a page at http://osdir.com/ml/web.privoxy.user.../msg00061.html

After careful reading I have realized that the poster ONLY WISHED if there was something like it to pass https only.

I mean post (or attach as plain text) the lines leading up to the "{+hide-user-agent{.....} \" section in the configuration file? As for using Privoxy for HTTPS only that's not something you should do in Privoxy IMHO.

Gotcha!
The declaration cannot be added to the start of user.action. It has to be added after "settings " and "alais" section.

Here is a link explaining it

Please think from a paranoid's perspective
How good it would be to surf https sites only on privoxy+tor?
