+ <h2>
+ SYNOPSIS
+ </h2>
+<pre>
+ <b>privoxy</b> [<b>--chroot</b> ] [<b>--config-test</b> ] [<b>--help</b> ] [<b>--no-daemon</b> ]
+ [<b>--pidfile</b> <i>pidfile</i> ] [<b>--pre-chroot-nslookup</b> <i>hostname</i> ] [<b>--user</b>

+
+
+
+</pre>
+ <h2>
+ OPTIONS
+ </h2>
+<pre>
+ <b>Privoxy</b> may be invoked with the following command line options:
+
+ <b>--chroot</b>
+ 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.
+
+ <b>--config-test</b>
+ Exit after loading the configuration files before binding to the
+ listen address. The exit code signals whether or not the
+ configuration files have been successfully loaded.
+
+ If the exit code is 1, at least one of the configuration files
+ is invalid, if it is 0, all the configuration files have been
+ successfully loaded (but may still contain errors that can
+ currently only be detected at run time).
+
+ This option doesn't affect the log setting, combination with
+ "--no-daemon" is recommended if a configured log file shouldn't
+ be used.
+
+ <b>--help</b> Print brief usage info and exit.
+
+ <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.
+
+ <b>--pidfile</b> <i>pidfile</i>
+ 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.
+
+ <b>--pre-chroot-nslookup</b> <i>hostname</i>
+ 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.
+
+ <b>--user</b> <i>user[.group]</i>
+ 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
+
+ individual needs and tastes. It has application for both stand-alone
+ systems and multi-user networks.
+
+ 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>
+<pre>
+ 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</b> <b>Settings</b>; <b>Manual</b> <b>Proxy</b> <b>Configuration</b>.
+
+ For Internet Explorer, go through: <b>Tools</b>; <b>Internet</b> <b>Properties</b>;
+ <b>Connections</b>; <b>LAN</b> <b>Settings</b>.
+
+ 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.
+
+ For other browsers, check the documentation.
+
+
+</pre>
+ <h2>
+ CONFIGURATION
+ </h2>
+<pre>
+ <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.
+
+ <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.
+
+ The actions list (ad blocks, etc) can also be configured with your web
+ browser at http://config.privoxy.org/ (assuming the configuration
+ <i>/etc/privoxy/user.filter</i>
+ <i>/etc/privoxy/trust</i>
+ <i>/etc/privoxy/templates/*</i>
+ <i>/var/log/privoxy/logfile</i>
+
+ Various other files should be included, but may vary depending on
+ platform and build configuration. Additional documentation should be
+ included in the local documentation directory.
+
+
+</pre>
+ <h2>
+ SIGNALS
+ </h2>
+<pre>
+ <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.
+
+
+</pre>
+ <h2>
+ NOTES
+ </h2>
+<pre>
+ This is a beta version of <b>Privoxy</b>. Not all features are well tested.
+
+ Please see the <i>User</i> <i>Manual</i> on how to contact the developers, for
+ feature requests, reporting problems, and other questions.

-flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes.
-It has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.
