#29916: Group Policies for Firefox can bypass Tor Browser's proxy settings -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: gk | Owner: tbb- | team Type: defect | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: tbb-proxy-bypass, | Actual Points: TorBrowserTeam201904 | Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: -------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Comment (by tom): As far as I can tell, the only way to bypass the proxy settings is by putting a policies.json file containing the relevant setting inside Tor Browser's data directory (on desktop) or the package directory (on mobile). Can the original poster confirm/clarify that is what they did? Perhaps we want to prevent this out of an abundance of caution; but if you can do this you can generally bypass lots of Tor Browser security mechanisms. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/29916#comment:5> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
