+ --no-daemon + Don't become a daemon, i.e. don't fork and become process + group leader, don't detach from controlling tty, and do all + logging there. -Privoxy is an associated project of Software in the Public Interest - (SPI).
+ --pidfile pidfile + On startup, write the process ID to pidfile. Delete the pidfile + on exit. Failure to create or delete the pidfile is non-fatal. + If no --pidfile option is given, no PID file will be used. -Helping hands and donations are welcome:
+ --pre-chroot-nslookup hostname + Initialize the resolver library using hostname before + chroot'ing.

To set the HTTP proxy in Firefox, go through: Tools; - Options; General; Connection Settings; Manual Proxy - Configuration.

+ • https://www.privoxy.org/faq/general.html#DONATE -Privoxy can be configured with the various configuration files. - The default configuration files are: config, default.filter, - default.action and default.action. user.action should - be used for locally defined exceptions to the default rules in - match-all.action and 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.

- -SIGNALS
- -Privoxy terminates on the SIGINT and SIGTERM - signals. Log rotation scripts may cause a re-opening of the logfile by - sending a SIGHUP to Privoxy. Note that unlike other daemons, - Privoxy does not need to be made aware of config file changes by - SIGHUP -- it will detect them automatically. Signals other than the - ones listed above aren't explicitly handled and result in the default - action defined by the operating system.
