-<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
-
-<P>
-
-<B>Privoxy</B> may be invoked with the following command line
-options:
-<DL COMPACT>
-<DT><B>--help</B><DD>
-Print brief usage info and exit.
-<DT><B>--version</B><DD>
-Print version info and exit.
-<DT><B>--no-daemon</B><DD>
-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.
-<DT><B>--pidfile </B><I>pidfile</I><B></B><DD>
-On startup, write the process ID to <I>pidfile</I>.
-Delete the <I>pidfile</I> on exit.
-Failure to create or delete the <I>pidfile</I>
-is non-fatal. If no <B>--pidfile</B> option is given, no PID file will be used.
-<DT><B>--user </B><I>user[.group]</I><B></B><DD>
-After (optionally) writing the PID file, assume the user ID of
-<I>user</I> and the GID of
-<I>group</I>, or, if the optional
-<I>group</I> was not given, the default group of
-<I>user</I>. Exit if the privileges are not
-sufficient to do so.
-<DT><B>--chroot</B><DD>
-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
-<B>Privoxy</B> process that the directory tree starts
-there. If set up carefully, this can limit the impact of possible
-vulnerabilities in <B>Privoxy</B> to the files contained in
-that hierarchy.
-<DT><B>--pre-chroot-nslookup </B><I>hostname</I><B></B><DD>
-Initialize the resolver library using <I>hostname</I>
-before chroot'ing. On some systems this reduces the number of files
-that must be copied into the chroot tree.
-</DL>
-<P>
-
-If the <I>configfile</I> is not specified on the command line,
-<B>Privoxy</B> will look for a file named
-<I>config</I> in the current directory. If no
-<I>configfile</I> is found, <B>Privoxy</B> will
-fail to start.

-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
-
-<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>
-
-Privoxy is Free Software and licensed under the GNU GPLv2.

-
-Privoxy is an associated project of Software in the Public Interest (SPI).

-<H2>INSTALLATION AND USAGE</H2>
-
-<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>
-
-For Internet Explorer, go through: <B>Tools</B>;
-<B>Internet Properties</B>; <B>Connections</B>;
-<B>LAN Settings</B>.
-<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>
-
-For other browsers, check the documentation.

-<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>
-
-<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>
-
-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>
-
-See the <I>User Manual</I> for a detailed
-explanation of installation, general usage, all configuration options, new
-features and notes on upgrading.
