-\fBPrivoxy\fP
-is an instrumentable HTTP proxy that filters the
-\s-2HTTP\s0
-data stream between
-web servers and browsers.
-\fBPrivoxy\fP can be used to protect privacy, manage cookies, filter web
-page content, manage access restrictions, and to discard such annoying Internet
-junk as ads, banners, and pop-ups. Or whatever other annoyances strike your
-fancy.
+If the \fIconfigfile\fR is not specified on the command line,
+\fBPrivoxy\fR will look for a file named
+\fIconfig\fR in the current directory. If no
+\fIconfigfile\fR is found, \fBPrivoxy\fR will
+fail to start.

+.SH "INSTALLATION AND USAGE"
+.PP
+Browsers can either be individually configured to use
+\fBPrivoxy\fR as a HTTP proxy (recommended),
+or \fBPrivoxy\fR can be combined with a packet
+filter to build an intercepting proxy
+(see \fIconfig\fR). The default setting is for
+localhost, on port 8118 (configurable in the main config file). To set the
+HTTP proxy in Firefox, go through: \fBTools\fR;
+\fBOptions\fR; \fBGeneral\fR;
+\fBConnection Settings\fR;
+\fBManual Proxy Configuration\fR.
+.PP
+For Internet Explorer, go through: \fBTools\fR;
+\fBInternet Properties\fR; \fBConnections\fR;
+\fBLAN Settings\fR.
+.PP
+The Secure (SSL) Proxy should also be set to the same values, otherwise
+https: URLs will not be proxied. Note: \fBPrivoxy\fR can only
+proxy HTTP and HTTPS traffic. Do not try it with FTP or other protocols.
+HTTPS presents some limitations, and not all features will work with HTTPS
+connections.
