 I use TBB for my daily work. It works pretty well so far. One feature I am
 missing is to be able to switch off the usage of the tor network for
 specific websites.

 Example A: I am in a local intranet with a couple of webservers I have to
 use frequently. In order to access these webservers I have to use beside
 TBB a second Firefox browser to access the local intranet, because traffic
 routed through the tor network does not find is way back to my intranet.

 Example B: I need to access websites with an IP filter, that allows only
 traffic from specific IP addresses.

 It would be very handy to have the ability to switch TBB to a non-tor
 mode. There are different ways to do this:
 - setting the domain of my local intranet in TBB so traffic to any site
 with the local domain would not go trough the Tor notwork
 - defining a list of websites I want to view without tor. Perhaps by
 adding a specific keyword like "non-tor" to a link in my bookmarks, that
 switches the tor mode off.

 It would be great to have such functionality.

 Thanks & regards,

 Torland
