Hmm, on this page:
http://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en
in the docs it says:
Using privoxy is necessary because
browsers leak your DNS requests when
they use a SOCKS proxy directly,
which is bad for your anonymity.
Privoxy also removes certain
dangerous headers from your web
requests, and blocks obnoxious ad
sites like Doubleclick.
Is that no longer true? If it is still
true, is there any way to get privoxy to
use stunnel for its SSL connections so
that the SSL connection is only from
privoxy to the server?
