Some domains (for example, many Google services) are blocked in China and they won't resolve to the correct IP addresses. If we specify the correct IPs to those domains in the "hosts" file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts), we can visit those sites. The problem with the hosts file is that it does not support wildcards. We have to write many lines in the hosts file like this: 203.208.46.200 0.docs.google.com 203.208.46.200 1.docs.google.com 203.208.46.200 2.docs.google.com 203.208.46.200 3.docs.google.com 203.208.46.200 4.docs.google.com 203.208.46.200 5.docs.google.com 203.208.46.200 6.docs.google.com 203.208.46.200 7.docs.google.com 203.208.46.200 8.docs.google.com 203.208.46.200 9.docs.google.com This is only a small fraction. The actual file has hundreds of lines. Google uses a lot of domains! My feature request is to let Privoxy have the ability to map certain hostnames to certain IP addresses, while supporting wildcards. Hopefully we won't need the hosts file and we can write in Privoxy's action file something like: 203.208.46.200 *.docs.google.com (Please note that 203.208.46.200 is not a proxy. It is an IP used by Google. Using "forward" in Privoxy does not work.) Is that possible? Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the endpoint security space.
