7.7. HTTPS Inspection + (Experimental)

+

HTTPS inspection allows to filter encrypted requests. This is only supported when Privoxy has been built with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION.

7.7.1. ca-directory

+
+
+
Specifies:
+
+

Directory with the CA key, the CA certificate and the trusted CAs file.

+
+
Type of value:
+
+

Text

+
+
Default value:
+
+

Empty string

+
+
Effect if unset:
+
+

Default value is used.

+
+
Notes:
+
+

This directive specifies the directory where the CA key, the CA certificate and the trusted CAs file + are located.

+

The permissions should only let Privoxy and the Privoxy admin access the directory.

+
+
Example:
+
+

ca-directory /usr/local/etc/privoxy/CA

+
+
+
+
+
+

7.7.2. ca-cert-file

+
+
+
Specifies:
+
+

The CA certificate file in ".crt" format.

+
+
Type of value:
+
+

Text

+
+
Default value:
+
+

cacert.crt

+
+
Effect if unset:
+
+

Default value is used.

+
+
Notes:
+
+

This directive specifies the name of the CA certificate file in ".crt" format.

+

The file is used by Privoxy to generate website certificates when + https inspection is enabled with the https-inspection action.

+

Privoxy clients should import the certificate so that they can + validate the generated certificates.

+

The file can be generated with: openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout cakey.pem -out + cacert.crt -days 3650

+
+
Example:
+
+

ca-cert-file root.crt

+

+
+
Default value:
+
+

+
+
Effect if unset:

Example:

Default value:

+
+
Effect if unset:

Default value is used.

This directive specifies the password for the CA keyfile that is used when Privoxy generates + certificates for intercepted requests.

Note that the password is shown on the CGI page so don't reuse an important one.

+
Type of value:
+
+

Text

+
+
Default value:
+
+

./certs

+
+
Effect if unset:
+
+

Default value is used.

+
+
Notes:
+
+

This directive specifies the directory where generated TLS/SSL keys and certificates are saved when + https inspection is enabled with the https-inspection action.

+

The keys and certificates currently have to be deleted manually when changing the ca-cert-file and the ca-cert-key.

+

The permissions should only let Privoxy and the Privoxy admin access the directory.

+
+
+ + + + + + +
Warning
+

Privoxy currently does not garbage-collect obsolete keys and + certificates and does not keep track of how may keys and certificates exist.

+

Privoxy admins should monitor the size of the directory + and/or make sure there is sufficient space available. A cron job to limit the number of keys and + certificates to a certain number may be worth considering.

+
+
+ +
Example:
+
+

7.7.6. cipher-list

+
+
+
Specifies:
+

Type of value:

+

Text

+
+
Default value:
+
+

None

+
+
Effect if unset:
+
+

A default value is inherited from the TLS library.

+
+
Notes:
+
+

This directive allows to specify a non-default list of ciphers to use in TLS handshakes with clients + and servers.

+

Ciphers are separated by colons. Which ciphers are supported depends on the TLS library. When using + OpenSSL, unsupported ciphers are skipped. When using MbedTLS they are rejected.

+
+ + + + + + + +
Warning
+

Specifying an unusual cipher list makes fingerprinting easier. Note that the default list + provided by the TLS library may be unusual when compared to the one used by modern browsers as + well.
