After a client-specific tag has been defined with the client-specific-tag
directive, action sections can be activated based on the tag by using a
- <ulink url="#CLIENT-TAG-PATTERN">CLIENT-TAG</ulink> pattern.
+ <ulink url="actions-file.html#CLIENT-TAG-PATTERN">CLIENT-TAG</ulink> pattern.
The CLIENT-TAG pattern is evaluated at the same priority
as URL patterns, as a result the last matching pattern wins.
Tags that are created based on client or server headers are evaluated
</para>
<para>
Clients can request tags to be set by using the CGI interface <ulink
- url="http://config.privoxy.org/show-client-tags">http://config.privoxy.org/show-client-tags</ulink>.
+ url="http://config.privoxy.org/client-tags">http://config.privoxy.org/client-tags</ulink>.
The specific tag description is only used on the web page and should
be phrased in away that the user understand the effect of the tag.

The CGI interface <ulink
- url="http://config.privoxy.org/show-client-tags">http://config.privoxy.org/show-client-tags</ulink>

therefore provides a "enable this tag temporarily" option.
If it is used, the tag will be set until the client-tag-lifetime
is over.

+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ 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.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ 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.
