This is a stand-alone cfg. Don't merge it with other cfgs.

There are several ways to load configs.
Simplest is to right click on the Proxomitron's icon in the task bar>>Load Config File>>sidki_2011-12-22rc1.ptron
Another is to add to the Proxomitron's commandline like
C:\Users\E3\Programs\ProxN45j\Proxomitron.exe "sidki_2011-12-22rc1.ptron"

I see a header filter for manage user agent strings, but how do you actually change the output? Keeps giving the same correct user agent which I don't want-I don't want them to track me by user agent-I want to be able to change it at will.

Former version was much more user friendly as you just entered whatever string you wanted and that became your user agent output. There is a list of user agents under the blockfiles preferences but there are no instructions anywhere I can find on how to actually change the user agent.

There are ways to fake/change the user agent that require less study than the sidki set, if that is all you want.

Users control the set via filters marked as optional, and Exceptions-U.ptxt.
Instructions for use of Exceptions-U are at the top of the list.
Under section 3.6

Code:

## ============================================================================
## 3.6  USER-AGENT
## ============================================================================


## fake user-agent: Internet Explorer           $SET(0=f_ua_ie.)
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


## fake user-agent: IE, if not IE or Mozilla    $SET(0=f_ua_iemoz.)
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


## fake user-agent: Mozilla                     $SET(0=f_ua_moz.)
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


## fake user-agent: Mozilla, if not Moz or IE   $SET(0=f_ua_mozie.)
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


## fake user-agent: Opera                       $SET(0=f_ua_op.)
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


## fake user-agent: Opera, if not Opera or IE   $SET(0=f_ua_opie.)
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


## fake user-agent: Space Bison                 $SET(0=f_ua_sp.)
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


## fake user-agent: "Anything"                  $SET(0=f_ua_§Anything.)
##
## Replace dots with "%2e", e.g., to fake IE2 at foobar.com:
##    foobar.com/
##      $SET(0=f_ua_§Mozilla/1%2e22 (compatible; MSIE 2%2e0; Windows 95).)
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


## Googlebot: fake user-agent - remove referrer $SET(0=f_ua_gbot.)

You can change UA per site, per browser, referer, etc
