I think I have my setup now: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00476.html [Polipo-users] HowTo use polipo as a intercepting (transparent) proxy :) I just use privoxy in front of polipo. This is configured with ,----[ /etc/privoxy/config ] | accept-intercepted-requests 1 | forward / localhost:812 `---- Now I'm able to have simple REDIRECT and no http_proxy environment at all. shorewall-rules: ,----[ /etc/shorewall/rules ] | REDIRECT fw 8118 tcp http - !172.14.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16,127.0.0.1 `---- /---> parentProxy#2 |(URL: http://gitrepo) wget | | git |80->8118 / firefox |--------> privoxy ---> polipo ---> parentProxy#1 opera | \ etc. | | |(dst: 192.168.0.1 etc.) \----> DIRECT Using iptable redirects it is possible to set different proxies for different destination hosts, which polipo cannot. Having privoxy first I have also there the option to set different parentProxies URL-specific, which polipo cannot. For some situations I would prefer to have privoxy behind polipo for having all data cached. Now for all redirects not going to parentProxy#1 I loose the polipo caching. But having privoxy behind polipo I loose the intercepting proxy functionality of privoxy. For now I'm getting used to privoxy with default filter setup. It has little performance impact. This could even be reduced by toggling privoxy off and use it as forward only intercepting proxy.
