STARTING PRIVOXY

5. Starting Privoxy. Before launching Privoxy for the first time, you will want to configure your browser(s) to use Privoxy as a HTTP and HTTPS (SSL) proxy.The default is 127.0.0.1 (or localhost) for the proxy address, and port 8118 (earlier versions used port 8000). QUICKSTART TO USING PRIVOXY 4. Quickstart to Using Privoxy. Install Privoxy.See the Installation Section below for platform specific information.. Advanced users and those who want to offer Privoxy service to more than just their local machine should check the main config file, especially the security-relevant options. These are off by default. Start Privoxy, if the installation program has not done this already (may PRIVOXY CONFIGURATION This should be self-explanatory. Note the first item leads to an editor for the actions files, which is where the ad, banner, cookie, and URL blocking magic is configured as well as other advanced features of Privoxy.This is an easy way to adjust various aspects of Privoxy configuration. The actions file, and other configuration files, are explained in detail below. THE MAIN CONFIGURATION FILE Effect if unset: No actions are taken at all. More or less neutral proxying. Notes: Multiple actionsfile lines are permitted, and are in fact recommended!. The default values are default.action, which is the "main" actions file maintained by the developers, and user.action, where you can make your personal additions.. Actions files contain all the per site and per URL configuration for ad

INSTALLATION

2. Installation. Privoxy is available both in convenient pre-compiled packages for a wide range of operating systems, and as raw source code. For most users, we recommend using the packages, which can be downloaded from our Privoxy Project Page.. Note: On some platforms, the installer may remove previously installed versions, if found.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.3. What is a "proxy"?How does Privoxy work? A web proxy is a service, based on a software such as Privoxy, that clients (i.e. browsers) can use instead of connecting to web servers directly.The clients then ask the proxy to request objects (web pages, images,

movies etc)

CONFIGURATION

3.1. What exactly is an "actions" file?. Privoxy utilizes the concept of " actions" that are used to manipulate and control web page data. Actions files are where these actions that Privoxy could take while processing a certain request, are configured. Typically, you would define a set of default actions that apply globally to all URLs, then add exceptions to these defaults where needed.

ACTIONS FILES

8. Actions Files. The actions files are used to define what actions Privoxy takes for which URLs, and thus determines how ad images, cookies and various other aspects of HTTP content and transactions are handled, and on which sites (or even parts thereof). There are a number of such actions, with a wide range of functionality. Each action does something a little different.

TROUBLESHOOTING

5.3. I just added a new rule, but the steenkin ad is still getting through. How? If the ad had been displayed before you added its URL, it will probably be held in the browser's cache for some time, so it will be displayed without the need for any request to the server, and Privoxy will not be involved. Flush the browser's caches, and then try

again.

INTRODUCTION

1.1. Features. In addition to the core features of ad blocking and cookie management, Privoxy provides many supplemental features, that give the end-user more control, more privacy and more freedom:. Supports "Connection: keep-alive". Outgoing connections can be kept alive independently from the client.
