Package: privoxy Version: 3.0.3-3 Severity: wishlist I'd love to be able to toggle privoxy's use of TOR (via socks) vs. direct internet connection as easily as toggling the filtering of privoxy.
Rationale: I'm very fond of privoxy's filtering capabilities, and would
like to use them all the time. In addition, I have to use TOR from time
to time in order to access certain web pages. Unfortunately, TOR
considerably slows down web browsing (at least from my location), so
that its permanent use is not enjoyable at present.
While privoxy's filtering can be switched on and off very easily (and
quickly, e.g. using a browser shortcut), this is not the case for its
forwarding. Changing the browser's proxy settings is also not exactly
quick to do (and would leave me without privoxy's service).
Thus, I'd very much like a function to toggle between various
"forwarding"-states in the same fashion that filtering can be toggled.
Do you think this is a reasonable feature request? Shouldn't it be
relatively easy to implement?
