+ <b>--chroot</b>
+ Before changing to the user ID given in the --user option,

- <p>If the <i>configfile</i> is not specified on the command line,

- <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
+ This option doesn't affect the log setting, combination with
+ "--no-daemon" is recommended if a configured log file shouldn't
+ be used.
- <p>Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities
- for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers,
- controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk.
- Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit
- individual needs and tastes. It has application for both stand-alone
- systems and multi-user networks.</p>
+ <b>--help</b> Print brief usage info and exit.
- <p>Privoxy is Free Software and licensed under the GNU GPLv2.</p>
+ <b>--no-daemon</b>
+ 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.
- <p>Privoxy is an associated project of Software in the Public Interest
- (SPI).</p>
+ <b>--pidfile</b> <i>pidfile</i>

- <h2>INSTALLATION AND USAGE</h2>
+ Helping hands and donations are welcome:
- <p>Browsers can either be individually configured to use <b>Privoxy</b> as
- a HTTP proxy (recommended), or <b>Privoxy</b> can be combined with a packet
- filter to build an intercepting proxy (see <i>config</i>). The default
- setting is for localhost, on port 8118 (configurable in the main config
- file). To set the HTTP proxy in Firefox, go through: <b>Tools</b>;
- <b>Options</b>; <b>General</b>; <b>Connection Settings</b>; <b>Manual Proxy
- Configuration</b>.</p>
+ • https://www.privoxy.org/faq/general.html#PARTICIPATE
- <p>For Internet Explorer, go through: <b>Tools</b>; <b>Internet
- Properties</b>; <b>Connections</b>; <b>LAN Settings</b>.</p>
-
- <p>The Secure (SSL) Proxy should also be set to the same values, otherwise
- https: URLs will not be proxied. Note: <b>Privoxy</b> can only proxy HTTP
- and HTTPS traffic. Do not try it with FTP or other protocols. HTTPS
- presents some limitations, and not all features will work with HTTPS
- connections.</p>
-
- <p>For other browsers, check the documentation. <a name="lbAG" id=
- "lbAG"> </a></p>

- <h2>CONFIGURATION</h2>
-
- <p><b>Privoxy</b> can be configured with the various configuration files.
- The default configuration files are: <i>config</i>, <i>default.filter</i>,
- <i>default.action</i> and <i>default.action</i>. <i>user.action</i> should
- be used for locally defined exceptions to the default rules in
- <i>match-all.action</i> and <i>default.action</i>, and <i>user.filter</i>
- for locally defined filters. These are well commented. On Unix and
- Unix-like systems, these are located in <i>/etc/privoxy/</i> by
- default.</p>
- <p><b>Privoxy</b> uses the concept of <b>actions</b> 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.</p>
-
- <p>The actions list (ad blocks, etc) can also be configured with your web
- browser at <a href=
- "http://config.privoxy.org/">http://config.privoxy.org/</a> (assuming the
- configuration allows it). <b>Privoxy's</b> configuration parameters can
- also be viewed at the same page. In addition, <b>Privoxy</b> can be toggled
- on/off. This is an internal page, and does not require Internet access.</p>
-
- <p>See the <i>User Manual</i> for a detailed explanation of installation,
- general usage, all configuration options, new features and notes on
- upgrading. <a name="lbAH" id="lbAH"> </a></p>

- <h2>SIGNALS</h2>
-
- <p><b>Privoxy</b> terminates on the <b>SIGINT</b> and <b>SIGTERM</b>
- signals. Log rotation scripts may cause a re-opening of the logfile by
- sending a <b>SIGHUP</b> to <b>Privoxy</b>. Note that unlike other daemons,
- <b>Privoxy</b> does not need to be made aware of config file changes by
- <b>SIGHUP</b> -- 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. <a name="lbAJ" id=
- "lbAJ"> </a></p>
-
- <h2>NOTES</h2>
-
- <p>This is a beta version of <b>Privoxy</b>. Not all features are well
- tested.</p>
