-><P
-> Any browser that can be configured to use a proxy, which
- should be virtually all browsers. Direct browser support is not necessary

- Windows(95, 98, ME, 2000, XP), Linux (RedHat, SuSE, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo,
- Slackware and others), Mac OSX, OS/2, AmigaOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
- Solaris, and various other flavors of Unix.</P
-><P
-> But any operating system that runs TCP/IP, can conceivably take advantage of
- <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
-> in a networked situation where
- <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
-> would run as a server on a LAN gateway.
- Then only the <SPAN
-CLASS="QUOTE"

-><P
-> We recommend you un-install <SPAN

->Junkbuster</SPAN
->
- first to minimize conflicts and confusion. You may want to
- save your old configuration files for future reference. The configuration
- files and syntax have substantially changed, so you will need to manually

->2.5. I just installed <SPAN

-><P
-> All browsers must be told to use <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
->
- as a proxy by specifying the correct proxy address and port number
- in the appropriate configuration area for the browser. See below.
- You should also flush your browser's memory and disk cache to get rid of any

->2.6. What is the proxy address of <SPAN

-><P
-> If you set up the <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
-> to run on
- the computer you browse from (rather than your ISP's server or some
- networked computer on a LAN), the proxy will be on <TT
-CLASS="LITERAL"
->127.0.0.1</TT
->
- (sometimes referred to as <SPAN
-CLASS="QUOTE"
->"localhost"</SPAN
->,
- which is the special name used by every computer on the Internet to refer
- to itself) and the port will be 8118 (unless you have <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
->
- to run on a different port with the <A
-HREF="../user-manual/config.html#LISTEN-ADDRESS"
-TARGET="_top"
->listen-address</A
-> config option).
- </P
-><P
-> When configuring your browser's proxy settings you typically enter
- the word <SPAN
-CLASS="QUOTE"
->"localhost"</SPAN
-> or the IP address <SPAN
-CLASS="QUOTE"
->"127.0.0.1"</SPAN
->
- in the boxes next to <SPAN

-> (HTTPS) and
- then the number <SPAN
-CLASS="QUOTE"
->"8118"</SPAN
-> for <SPAN
-CLASS="QUOTE"
->"port"</SPAN
->.
- This tells your browser to send all web requests to <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
->
- instead of directly to the Internet.
- </P
-><P
-> <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
-> can also be used to proxy for
- a Local Area Network. In this case, your would enter either the IP
- address of the LAN host where <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
->
- is running, or the equivalent hostname. Port assignment would be
- same as above. Note that <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
-> doesn't
- listen on any LAN interfaces by default.

->2.7. I just installed <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
->, and nothing is happening.
-All the ads are there. What's wrong?</H3
-><P
-> Did you configure your browser to use <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
->
- as a proxy? It does not sound like it. See above. You might also try flushing
- the browser's caches to force a full re-reading of pages. You can verify
- that <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
-> is running, and your browser
- is correctly configured by entering the special URL:
- <A
-HREF="http://p.p/"
-TARGET="_top"
->http://p.p/</A
->.
-
- This should take you to a page titled <SPAN
-CLASS="QUOTE"
->"This is Privoxy.."</SPAN
-> with
- access to <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy's</SPAN
-> internal configuration.
- If you see this, then you are good to go. If you receive a page saying
- <SPAN
-CLASS="QUOTE"
->"Privoxy is not running"</SPAN
->, then the browser is not set up to use
- your <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
-> installation.
- If you receive anything else (probably nothing at all), it could either
- be that the browser is not set up correctly, or that
- <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy</SPAN
-> is not running at all. Check the <A
