Hi, First time Polipo user. I decided to integrate Polipo into my current setup, and have run into something I don't know how to solve.
Spec: Debian 7 "Wheezy" (Stable) server on my home LAN, running Privoxy 3.0.19 & Polipo 1.0.4.1-1.2. Upgrading any of the packages mentioned will not be contemplated, as it adds undue complexity and fragility. Problem: One of the things my Privoxy setup does is read from my /etc/hosts file on the server to perform a single important change for all the Macs using Privoxy: [code] # Replace Yahoo! Search with DuckDuckGo 184.72.115.86 search.yahoo.com [/code] This redirects all search queries from Yahoo! to DuckDuckGo. This works just fine. However, once I add Polipo into the chain, it breaks. In the Privoxy config: [code] forward / localhost:8123 [/code] So, this chains Privoxy to Polipo. When this is active, all Yahoo! searches now go to Yahoo!, which is not what I want. So, what's the simplest, least complex and most robust way to fix this? If someone could additionally explain why Polipo interferes with Privoxy's use of the /etc/host file in the first place, it'd be welcomed. Thank you.
