How does +<application>Privoxy</application> work? + + When you connect to a web site with Privoxy, + you are really connecting to your locally running version of + Privoxy. Privoxy + intercepts your requests for the web page, and relays that to the + real web site. The web site sends the HTTP data stream + back to Privoxy, where + Privoxy can work its magic before it + relays this data back to your web browser. + + + + Since Privoxy sits between you and the + WWW, it is in a position to intercept and completely manage all web traffic and + HTTP content before it gets to your browser. + Privoxy uses various programming methods to do + this, all of which is under your control via the various configuration + files and options. + + + + There are many kinds of proxies. Privoxy best + fits the filtering proxy category. + + + + +My browser does the same things as +<application>Privoxy</application>. Why should I use +<application>Privoxy</application> at all? + + Modern browsers do indeed have some of the same + functionality as Privoxy. Maybe this is + adequate for you. But Privoxy is much more + versatile and powerful, and can do a number of things that browsers just can't. + + + In addition, a proxy is good choice if you use multiple browsers, or + have a LAN with multiple computers. This way all the configuration + is in one place, and you don't have to maintain a similar configuration + for possibly many browsers. + + + + + + +Is there is a license or fee?

In this case, your would enter either the IP + address of the LAN host where Privoxy + is running, or the equivalent hostname. Port assignment would be + same as above. + + + Privoxy does not currently handle + protocols such as FTP, SMTP, IM, IRC, ICQ, or other Internet + protocols. + + + + +I just installed <application>Privoxy</application>, and nothing is happening. +All the ads are there.
