I was hoping you guys was on an open git repo somewhere, so I could do a pull request :) But I would suggest the metrics block - be changed to hit ONLY the exact domain that the comment says it blocks ?

You're of course free to modify your own configuration to remove that rule from the default or match-all actions files or, better, suggest a modified unblocker rule that allows results from the tool you use to be added into the default files. > > Cheers, > > Ian > > On Fri, 27 Mar 2020, at 04:18, Klavs Klavsen wrote: >> I can see that default config i my privoxy (ubuntu 18.04) - has this: >> >> # Blocked URL = http://metrics.performancing.com/ >> metrics. >> >> >> Which blocks everything starting with metrics. - and NOT just the site >> mentioned :( >> >> This hurt me- as I needed to get metrics from my influxdb backend (as >> grafana pulls metrics from stuff) - and it seems a bit careless, to >> simply disallow ANY domain with metrics first ? >> >> -- >> Regards, >> Klavs Klavsen, GSEC - [email protected] - http://www.vsen.dk - Tlf. 61281200 >> >> "Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly." >> --Henry Spencer >> _______________________________________________ >> Privoxy-users mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://lists.privoxy.org/mailman/listinfo/privoxy-users >> > _______________________________________________ > Privoxy-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.privoxy.org/mailman/listinfo/privoxy-users -- Regards, Klavs Klavsen, GSEC - [email protected] - http://www.vsen.dk - Tlf. 61281200 "Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly." --Henry Spencer _______________________________________________ Privoxy-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.privoxy.org/mailman/listinfo/privoxy-users
