+ Before &my-app; accepts configuration changes through CGI pages like

+
+
+ By default only the webinterface domains
+ config.privoxy.org
+ and
+ p.p
+ are considered trustworthy.
+ Requests originating from other domains are rejected to prevent

+ images that result in CGI requests.
+
+
+ In some environments it may be desirable to embed links to CGI pages
+ on external pages, for example on an Intranet homepage the Privoxy admin
+ controls.
+
+
+ The trusted-cgi-referer option can be used to add that page,
+ or the whole domain, as trusted source so the resulting requests aren't
+ rejected.
+ Requests are accepted if the specified trusted-cgi-refer is the prefix
+ of the Referer.
+
+
+
+ Declaring pages the admin doesn't control trustworthy may allow
+ malicious third parties to modify Privoxy's internal state against
+ the user's wishes and without the user's knowledge.

The CGI interface http://config.privoxy.org/show-client-tags

+trust-x-forwarded-for

+ Whether or not Privoxy should use IP addresses specified with the X-Forwarded-For header
+
+
+
+
+ Type of value:
+
+
+ 0 or one
+

+
+ Default value:
+
+ 0
+
+
+
+ Notes:
+
+
+
+ This is an experimental feature. The syntax is likely to change
+ in future versions.
+
+
+
+ If clients reach Privoxy through another proxy, for example a load
+ balancer, Privoxy can't tell the client's IP address from the connection.
+ If multiple clients use the same proxy, they will share the same
+ client tag settings which is usually not desired.
+
+
+ This option lets Privoxy use the X-Forwarded-For header value as
+ client IP address. If the proxy sets the header, multiple clients
+ using the same proxy do not share the same client tag settings.
+
+
+ This option should only be enabled if Privoxy can only be reached
+ through a proxy and if the proxy can be trusted to set the header
+ correctly. It is recommended that ACL are used to make sure only
+ trusted systems can reach Privoxy.
+
+
+ If access to Privoxy isn't limited to trusted systems, this option
+ would allow malicious clients to change the client tags for other
+ clients or increase Privoxy's memory requirements by registering
+ lots of client tag settings for clients that don't exist.
+
+
+
+
+ Examples:
+
+
+
+ # Allow systems that can reach Privoxy to provide the client
+ # IP address with a X-Forwarded-For header.
