+ This is an experimental feature. The syntax is likely to change in future versions.

+ Client tag patterns are not set based on HTTP headers but based on
+ the client's IP address. Users can enable them themselves, but the
+ Privoxy admin controls which tags are available and what their effect
+ is.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+ After a client-specific tag has been defined with the
+ <link linkend="client-specific-tag">client-specific-tag</link>,
+ directive, action sections can be activated based on the tag by using a
+ CLIENT-TAG 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 later on
+ and can overrule CLIENT-TAG and URL patterns!
+</para>
+<para>
+ The tag is set for all requests that come from clients that requested
+ it to be set. Note that "clients" are differentiated by IP address,
+ if the IP address changes the tag has to be requested again.
+</para>
+<para>
+ Clients can request tags to be set by using the CGI interface <ulink
+ url="http://config.privoxy.org/client-tags">http://config.privoxy.org/client-tags</ulink>.

+ <screen>
+# If the admin defined the client-specific-tag circumvent-blocks,
+# and the request comes from a client that previously requested
+# the tag to be set, overrule all previous +block actions that
+# are enabled based on URL to CLIENT-TAG patterns.

+# This section is not overruled because it's located after
+# the previous one.
