I regularly use the HTTP proxy of Privoxy with wget, Firefox, python (ooni-probe, other code), and lots of various applications via the Gnome Proxy settings on Gnome based systems - otherwise, I sometimes use a HTTP proxy with proxychains to prevent DNS leaky applications that have not and will never implement SOCKS. > We want to drop polipo from all of the bundles.

I'm glad that we're dropping it. I use privoxy when I need some kind of HTTP proxy. I use SOCKS for IM and web browsing. I use TransPort for lots of other things. For ssh I use the following in my .ssh/config with socat: ProxyCommand socat STDIO SOCKS4A:localhost:%h:%p,socksport=9050 All the best, Jake _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
