+ <p>
+ If you set up the <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> to run

+ <p>
+ First, make sure that Privoxy is <span class="emphasis"><i class=
+ "EMPHASIS">really</i></span> running and being used by visiting <a
+ href="http://p.p/" target="_top">http://p.p/</a>. You should see

+ "https://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/" target="_top">User

+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Now if <a href="http://p.p/" target="_top">http://p.p/</a> works
+ for you, but other parts of <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>'s web interface show the dummy page,
+ your browser has cached a redirection it encountered before <span
+ class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> was being used. You need to
+ clear your browser's cache. Note that shift-reloading the dummy
+ page won't help, since that'll only refresh the dummy page, not the
+ redirection that lead you there.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The procedure for clearing the cache varies from browser to
+ browser. For example, <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Mozilla/Netscape</span> users would click <span
+ class="GUIBUTTON">Edit</span> --> <span class=
+ "GUIBUTTON">Preferences</span> --> <span class=
+ "GUIBUTTON">Advanced</span> --> <span class=
+ "GUIBUTTON">Cache</span> and then click both <span class=
+ "QUOTE">"<span class="GUIBUTTON">Clear Memory Cache</span>"</span>
+ and <span class="QUOTE">"<span class="GUIBUTTON">Clear Disk
+ Cache</span>"</span>. In some <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Firefox</span> versions it's <span class=
+ "GUIBUTTON">Tools</span> --> <span class=
+ "GUIBUTTON">Options</span> --> <span class=
+ "GUIBUTTON">Privacy</span> --> <span class=
+ "GUIBUTTON">Cache</span> and then click <span class="QUOTE">"<span
+ class="GUIBUTTON">Clear Cache Now</span>"</span>.
