Filter to use with Privoxy/Tor

[Guest]

Hi. I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I have the Proxo/Privoxy/Tor chain set up for when I use Tor. For normal browsing, I just use Proxo only. The only time I use Privoxy is to socksify Proxo for Tor. What I'd like is to change the title of a page to reflect the fact that Privoxy/Tor is in use (basically, whenever Proxo is using proxy 127.0.0.1:8118). I figured out the easy part:

Quote:[Patterns]
Name = "Tor in Use?"
Active = True
URL = ??
Bounds = ??
Limit = 1056
Match = "<title>"
Replace = "<title> ==== TOR via PROXY ==== "

What I can't figure out is the variable that defines whether Proxy is using a remote proxy or even if there is such a variable.

If the color of the title bar can be changed, that would be really great.

If someone can point me to a reference that lists some of the more uncommon variables having to do with the cosmetic appearance of a page that can be manipulated, that'd be really, really great.

Well, I did some looking into this and it appears that there's no way to include global setting variables into a Proxo filter. So what I did is make a Privoxy filter which adds a "Tor in Use"-type line to the title bar and a Proxo filter which adds a "Proxo in Use"-type line in the absence of the "Tor in Use" line. The only glitch I have is that there are some pages that, for whatever reason, can't be filtered by Privoxy. It goes through Privoxy but isn't affected by any filter I use. Oh well.

Another solution would be to add another CFG.
Make a copy of your default, add your 'title filter', set it to use Privoxy, and rename it DefaultWithPrivoxy.

Then you could switch back and forth by using shortcuts or the right-click menu.

That would work but I think it's better to add the to the title with Privoxy. That way, if I clicked off the remote proxy and didn't remember, I would see it in the title bar.
