See http://www.privoxy.org/ for more information. The current code level is &p-status;. &p-intro; IMPORTANT CHANGES ------------------ NEWS! As of 03/24/02, the name of this project has been changed from ijbswa/Junkbuster to Privoxy. This is reflected in many of the included files. WARNING! If upgrading from earlier versions of this project via RPM packages, the new package will delete any previously installed 'Junkbuster' packages. IMPORTANT! READ! Configuration Change as of 17 Mar 2002: The default listening port is now 8118 due to conflicts with port 8000 assignment. You will need to change your browser if upgrading!!! And maybe firewall, etc. INSTALL -------- &buildsource; RUN ---- privoxy [--help] [--version] [--no-daemon] [--pidfile PIDFILE] [--user USER[.GROUP]] [config_file] See the man page or user-manual for a brief explanation of each option. If no config_file is specified on the command line, Privoxy will look for a file named 'config' in the current directory (except Win32 which will look for 'config.txt'). If no config_file is found, Privoxy will fail to start. Or for Red Hat: /etc/rc.d/init.d/privoxy start Or for SuSE: /etc/rc.d/privoxy start CONFIGURATION -------------- See: 'config', 'default.action', 'user.action', and 'default.filter'. 'user.action' is for personal configuration. These are all well commented. Most of the magic is in '*.action' files. 'user.action' should be used for any actions customizations. On Unix-like systems, these files are installed in /etc/privoxy. On Windows, then wherever the executable itself is installed. There are many significant changes and advances since Junkbuster v2.0.x. The user-manual has a run down of configuration options, and examples: http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/. Be sure to set your browser(s) for HTTP/HTTPS Proxy at <IP>:<Port>, or whatever you specify in the config file under 'listen-address'. DEFAULT is localhost:8118. The actions list can be configured via the web interface accessed via http://p.p/, as well other options. All configuration files are subject to unannounced changes during the development process. ]]> DOCUMENTATION -------------- There should be documentation in the 'doc' subdirectory. In particular, see the user-manual there, the faq, and those interested in Privoxy development, should look at developer-manual. The source and configuration files are all well commented. The main configuration files are: 'config', 'default.action', and 'default.filter'. Included documentation may vary according to platform and packager.
