Dear Tails developers,
I would like to inform you about the existence of
control-port-filter-python, a fork of tor-controlport-filter by Tails.
Improvements:
* Supports parallel connections.
* Configurable by dropping .d-style configuration snippets into
/etc/cpfpy.d. I.e. whitelist can be extended by dropping snippets.
* Supports logging.
* Support to answer 'getinfo net/listeners/socks' with the lie
'250-net/listeners/socks="127.0.0.1:9150"'.
* Honors signals sigterm, sigint.
* Complete sysvinit script.
* Lintian clean /debian packaging folder.

testing by me.
We would like to hear your feedback, comments, etc.
