+ # /etc/init.d/privoxy start |
- 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). This is the one - configuration step that - must be done! -
-- Please note that Privoxy can only - proxy HTTP and HTTPS traffic. It will not work with FTP or other - protocols. -
--
-- Figure 2. Proxy Configuration Showing Mozilla/Netscape HTTP and - HTTPS (SSL) Settings -
-- -
-- With Firefox, this is typically set - under: -
-
- Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network ->Connection -> Settings
-
-
- Or optionally on some platforms: -
-
- Edit -> Preferences -> General -> Connection Settings -> Manual Proxy Configuration
-
-
- With Netscape (and Mozilla), this can be set under: -
-
- Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Proxies -> HTTP Proxy
-
-
- For Internet Explorer v.5-7: -
-- Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings -
-- Then, check "Use Proxy" and fill in the - appropriate info (Address: 127.0.0.1, Port: 8118). Include HTTPS - (SSL), if you want HTTPS proxy support too (sometimes labeled "Secure"). Make sure any checkboxes like "Use the same proxy server for all protocols" is - UNCHECKED. You - want only HTTP and HTTPS (SSL)! -

-- After doing this, flush your browser's disk and memory caches to - force a re-reading of all pages and to get rid of any ads that may be - cached. Remove any cookies, if you want Privoxy to manage that. You are now ready to - start enjoying the benefits of using Privoxy! -
-- Privoxy itself is typically started - by specifying the main configuration file to be used on the command - line. If no configuration file is specified on the command line, - Privoxy will look for a file named - config in the current directory. Except on - Win32 where it will try config.txt. -
-- A default Red Hat installation may not start Privoxy upon boot. It will use the file /etc/privoxy/config as its main configuration - file. -
--
-
-- # /etc/rc.d/init.d/privoxy start -- |
-
- Or ... -
--
-
-- # service privoxy start -- |
-
- We use a script. Note that Debian typically starts Privoxy upon booting per default. It will use - the file /etc/privoxy/config as its main - configuration file. -
--
-
-- # /etc/init.d/privoxy start -- |
-
- Click on the Privoxy Icon to start - Privoxy. If no configuration file - is specified on the command line, Privoxy will look for a file named config.txt. Note that Windows will automatically - start Privoxy when the system - starts if you chose that option when installing. -
-- Privoxy can run with full Windows - service functionality. On Windows only, the Privoxy program has two new command line - arguments to install and uninstall Privoxy as a service. See the Windows Installation - instructions for details. -
-- Example Unix startup command: -
--
-
-- # /usr/sbin/privoxy /etc/privoxy/config -- |
-
- During installation, Privoxy is - configured to start automatically when the system restarts. You can - start it manually by double-clicking on the Privoxy icon in the Privoxy folder. -
-- After downloading the privoxy software, unzip the downloaded file - by double-clicking on the zip file icon. Then, double-click on the - installer package icon and follow the installation process. -
-- The privoxy service will automatically start after a successful - installation. In addition, the privoxy service will automatically - start every time your computer starts up. -
-- To prevent the privoxy service from automatically starting when - your computer starts up, remove or rename the folder named - /Library/StartupItems/Privoxy. -
-- A simple application named Privoxy Utility has been created which - enables administrators to easily start and stop the privoxy - service. -
-- In addition, the Privoxy Utility presents a simple way for - administrators to edit the various privoxy config files. A method - to uninstall the software is also available. -
-- An administrator username and password must be supplied in order - for the Privoxy Utility to perform any of the tasks. -
-- Start Privoxy (with RUN - <>NIL:) in your startnet script - (AmiTCP), in s:user-startup (RoadShow), - as startup program in your startup script (Genesis), or as startup - action (Miami and MiamiDx). Privoxy will automatically quit when you quit - your TCP/IP stack (just ignore the harmless warning your TCP/IP - stack may display that Privoxy is - still running). -
-- A script is again used. It will use the file /etc/privoxy/config as its main configuration file. -
--
-
-- /etc/init.d/privoxy start -- |
-
- Note that Privoxy is not - automatically started at boot time by default. You can change this - with the rc-update command. -
--
-
-- rc-update add privoxy default -- |
-
- Privoxy may be invoked with the - following command-line options: -
--
-- --version -
-- Print version info and exit. Unix only. -
-- --help -
-- Print short usage info and exit. Unix only. -
-- --no-daemon -
-- Don't become a daemon, i.e. don't fork and become process group - leader, and don't detach from controlling tty. Unix only. -
-- --pidfile - FILE -
-- On startup, write the process ID to FILE. Delete the FILE on exit. Failure - to create or delete the FILE is non-fatal. If no FILE option is given, - no PID file will be used. Unix only. -
-- --user - USER[.GROUP] -
-- After (optionally) writing the PID file, assume the user ID of - USER, and - if included the GID of GROUP. Exit if the privileges are not - sufficient to do so. Unix only. -
-- --chroot -
-- Before changing to the user ID given in the --user option, chroot - to that user's home directory, i.e. make the kernel pretend to - the Privoxy process that the - directory tree starts there. If set up carefully, this can - limit the impact of possible vulnerabilities in Privoxy to the files contained in that - hierarchy. Unix only. -
-- --pre-chroot-nslookup hostname -
-- Specifies a hostname to look up before doing a chroot. On some - systems, initializing the resolver library involves reading - config files from /etc and/or loading additional shared - libraries from /lib. On these systems, doing a hostname lookup - before the chroot reduces the number of files that must be - copied into the chroot tree. -
-- For fastest startup speed, a good value is a hostname that is - not in /etc/hosts but that your local name server (listed in - /etc/resolv.conf) can resolve without recursion (that is, - without having to ask any other name servers). The hostname - need not exist, but if it doesn't, an error message (which can - be ignored) will be output. -
-- configfile -
-- If no configfile is included on the command - line, Privoxy will look for a - file named "config" in the current - directory (except on Win32 where it will look for "config.txt" instead). Specify full path to - avoid confusion. If no config file is found, Privoxy will fail to start. -
-- On MS Windows only there are two - additional command-line options to allow Privoxy to install and run as a service. See the Window Installation - section for details. -

+ # service privoxy onestart |
Click on the Privoxy Icon to start Privoxy. + If no configuration file is specified on the command line, Privoxy will look for + a file named config.txt. Note that Windows will automatically start Privoxy when the system starts if you chose that option when installing.
+Privoxy can run with full Windows service functionality. On Windows only, the + Privoxy program has two new command line arguments to install and uninstall + Privoxy as a service. See the Windows Installation instructions for details.
+Example Unix startup command:
+- Quickstart to Using Privoxy - | -- - | -- Privoxy Configuration + |
+ # /usr/sbin/privoxy --user privoxy /etc/privoxy/config |
Note that if you installed Privoxy through a package manager, the package + will probably contain a platform-specific script or configuration file to start Privoxy upon boot.
+During installation, Privoxy is configured to start automatically when the + system restarts. You can start it manually by double-clicking on the Privoxy + icon in the Privoxy folder.
+The privoxy service will automatically start after a successful installation (and thereafter every time your + computer starts up) however you will need to configure your web browser(s) to use it. To do so, configure them to + use a proxy for HTTP and HTTPS at the address 127.0.0.1:8118.
+To prevent the privoxy service from automatically starting when your computer starts up, remove or rename the + file /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.ijbswa.privoxy.plist (on OS X 10.5 and higher) or the + folder named /Library/StartupItems/Privoxy (on OS X 10.4 'Tiger').
+To manually start or stop the privoxy service, use the scripts startPrivoxy.sh and stopPrivoxy.sh supplied in + /Applications/Privoxy. They must be run from an administrator account, using sudo.
+Privoxy may be invoked with the following command-line options:
+--config-test
+Exit after loading the configuration files before binding to the listen address. The exit code signals + whether or not the configuration files have been successfully loaded.
+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.
+--version
+Print version info and exit. Unix only.
+--help
+Print short usage info and exit. Unix only.
+--no-daemon
+Don't become a daemon, i.e. don't fork and become process group leader, and don't detach from controlling + tty. Unix only.
+--pidfile FILE
+On startup, write the process ID to FILE. Delete the + FILE on exit. Failure to create or delete the + FILE is non-fatal. If no FILE option is given, no PID file will be used. Unix only.
+--user USER[.GROUP]
+After (optionally) writing the PID file, assume the user ID of USER, and if included the GID of GROUP. Exit if the privileges are not sufficient to do + so. Unix only.
+--chroot
+Before changing to the user ID given in the --user + option, chroot to that user's home directory, i.e. make the kernel pretend to the Privoxy process that the directory tree starts there. If set up carefully, this can + limit the impact of possible vulnerabilities in Privoxy to the files + contained in that hierarchy. Unix only.
+--pre-chroot-nslookup hostname
+Specifies a hostname (for example www.privoxy.org) to look up before doing a chroot. On some systems, + initializing the resolver library involves reading config files from /etc and/or loading additional shared + libraries from /lib. On these systems, doing a hostname lookup before the chroot reduces the number of files + that must be copied into the chroot tree.
