- -Privoxy may be invoked with the following command line -options: -
- -If the configfile is not specified on the command line, -Privoxy will look for a file named -config in the current directory. If no -configfile is found, Privoxy will -fail to start. - -
- -Privoxy is a non-caching -web proxy -with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy, -modifying web page data, managing HTTP -cookies, -controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious -Internet junk. Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be -customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for -both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks. -
- -Privoxy is based on Internet Junkbuster (tm). - -
- -Browsers can either be individually configured to use -Privoxy as a HTTP proxy (recommended), -or Privoxy can be combined with a packet -filter to build an intercepting proxy -(see config). The default setting is for -localhost, on port 8118 (configurable in the main config file). To set the -HTTP proxy in Netscape and Mozilla, go through: Edit; -Preferences; Advanced; -Proxies; Manual Proxy Configuration; -View. -
- -For Firefox, go through: Tools; -Options; General; -Connection Settings; -Manual Proxy Configuration. -
- -For Internet Explorer, go through: Tools; -Internet Properties; Connections; -LAN Settings. -
- -The Secure (SSL) Proxy should also be set to the same values, otherwise -https: URLs will not be proxied. Note: Privoxy 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. -
- -For other browsers, check the documentation. - -
- -Privoxy can be configured with the various configuration -files. The default configuration files are: config, -default.filter, and -default.action. user.action should -be used for locally defined exceptions to the default rules of -default.action, and user.filter for -locally defined filters. These are well commented. On Unix -and Unix-like systems, these are located in -/etc/privoxy/ by default. -
- -Privoxy uses the concept of actions -in order to manipulate the data stream between the browser and remote sites. -There are various actions available with specific functions for such things -as blocking web sites, managing cookies, etc. These actions can be invoked -individually or combined, and used against individual URLs, or groups of URLs -that can be defined using wildcards and regular expressions. The result is -that the user has greatly enhanced control and freedom. -
- -The actions list (ad blocks, etc) can also be configured with your -web browser at http://config.privoxy.org/ -(assuming the configuration allows it). -Privoxy's configuration parameters can also be viewed at -the same page. In addition, Privoxy can be toggled on/off. -This is an internal page, and does not require Internet access. -
- -See the User Manual for a detailed -explanation of installation, general usage, all configuration options, new -features and notes on upgrading. - -
- -A brief example of what a simple default.action -configuration might look like: -
-
- # Define a few useful custom aliases for later use - {{alias}} - - # Useful aliases that combine more than one action - +crunch-cookies = +crunch-incoming-cookies +crunch-outgoing-cookies - -crunch-cookies = -crunch-incoming-cookies -crunch-outgoing-cookies - +block-as-image = +block +handle-as-image - - # Fragile sites should have the minimum changes - fragile = -block -deanimate-gifs -fast-redirects -filter \ - -hide-referer -prevent-cookies - - ## Turn some actions on ################################ - ## NOTE: Actions are off by default, unless explictily turned on - ## otherwise with the '+' operator. - -{ \ -+change-x-forwarded-for{block} \ -+deanimate-gifs{last} \ -+filter{refresh-tags} \ -+filter{img-reorder} \ -+filter{banners-by-size} \ -+filter{webbugs} \ -+filter{jumping-windows} \ -+filter{ie-exploits} \ -+hide-from-header{block} \ -+hide-referrer{conditional-block} \ -+session-cookies-only \ -+set-image-blocker{pattern} \ -} -/ # '/' Match *all* URL patterns - - - # Block all URLs that match these patterns - { +block } - ad. - ad[sv]. - .*ads. - banner?. - /.*count(er)?\.(pl|cgi|exe|dll|asp|php[34]?) - .hitbox.com - media./.*(ads|banner) - - # Block, and treat these URL patterns as if they were 'images'. - # We would expect these to be ads. - { +block-as-image } - .ad.doubleclick.net - .a[0-9].yimg.com/(?:(?!/i/).)*$ - ad.*.doubleclick.net - - # Make exceptions for these harmless ones that would be - # caught by our +block patterns just above. - { -block } - adsl. - adobe. - advice. - .*downloads. - # uploads or downloads - /.*loads -- -

privoxy - Privacy Enhancing Proxy + +SYNOPSIS
+ +privoxy [--chroot ] [--config-test ] [--help + ] [--no-daemon ] [--pidfile pidfile ] + [--pre-chroot-nslookup hostname ] [--user + user[.group] ] [--version ] [configfile ]
+ + + +OPTIONS
+ +Privoxy may be invoked with the following command line + options:
+ +
If the exit code is 1, at least one of the configuration files is + invalid, if it is 0, all the configuration files have been successfully + loaded (but may still contain errors that can currently only be + detected at run time).
+ +This option doesn't affect the log setting, combination with + "--no-daemon" is recommended if a configured log file shouldn't be + used.
+If the configfile is not specified on the command line, + Privoxy will look for a file named config in the current + directory. If no configfile is found, Privoxy will fail to + start.
+ +Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities + for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, + controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk. + Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit + individual needs and tastes. It has application for both stand-alone + systems and multi-user networks.
+ +Privoxy is Free Software and licensed under the GNU GPLv2.
+ +Privoxy is an associated project of Software in the Public Interest + (SPI).
+ +Helping hands and donations are welcome:
+ +Browsers can either be individually configured to use Privoxy as + a HTTP proxy (recommended), or Privoxy can be combined with a packet + filter to build an intercepting proxy (see config).
