Privoxy: How to do user-authentification?

  • 772

Hy, I'm running Privoxy on my server and I only want to allow some users to use the proxy. I can't specify a IP-Address because they are dynamic. I also can't use ssh because those users use mobile devices where no ssh-client is available.

I know the Proxy-Protocol can use authenticated access to the server, does Privoxy support this?

Thanks!

    Having read over the Privoxy Documentation I'd tend to say that this isn't possible since Privoxys ACL System is based on per IP/per Location base.

  2. This can be found in the official docs:

    7.4.9. enable-proxy-authentication-forwarding

    Privoxy itself does not support proxy authentication, but can allow clients to authenticate against Privoxy's parent proxy.
