[Privoxy-devel] Feature Enhancement: Support for outgoing address (TODO#77)

[Christian Kröger]

Hi,

i’ve been asked to add support for specifying the IP address for outgoing connections made by Privoxy (#77 from the TODO list as found in VCS). The patch adds a new config option called “outgoing-address”, which can be (optionally) specified multiple times. Supports dual-stack (IPv4+IPv6).

The behaviour of that option is described below:

1. If the option is not set, it will work like it did before to ensure full backwards-compatibility.
2. If the option is set once, its IP address will be used for outgoing connections.
3. If the option is set multiple times, the address is chosen randomly for outgoing connections.

Since I couldn’t find any official Git repository for Privoxy, I’ve made the changes against 3.0.26-stable and pushed it to a Git(hub) repository which can be found here:

https://github.com/commx/privoxy/pull/1

Please let me know if this could be merged into upstream.

Thanks.


With kind regards,
Christian
