[Privoxy-users] permit-access wildcards?

[Richard Glaser]

Hi Fabian:

Basically, we are blocking all other domains, except...


*.lib.utah.edu
*.utah.edu
*.duosecurity.com
*.apple.com

And some miscellaneous other that are needed for the above website needs.

If permit and deny supported regular expression it would make it much easier to implement, but currently need to do allow ever hostname per domain and some because the require wildard support are an option.

Any other suggestions on accomplishing this with our wildcard or regular expression support for permit deny access?

Thanks:

Sure, but since privacy supports subnet masks in CIDR notation. It could
be argued that in a sense is similar to the feature I am requesting for
hostname and

This is for Apple push notifications:

permit-access 10.18.0.0/17 17.0.0.0/8

It's not entirely clear to me what you are trying to achieve
and why you need ACLs for this.

Are you attempting to deny access to various Apple servers
for some of your clients but not to all?

And works with privoxy’s permit-access. Anyway, I understand privoxy is
open source, just feedback support of permit and deny access with
hostname and regular expression would be nice.

I agree that this would be a useful improvement but I'm
not 100% sure that it's needed for your use case.
