-<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.
-Failiure 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.
-</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 (except on Win32 where
-it will try <I>config.txt</I>). If no
-<I>configfile</I> is found, <B>Privoxy</B> will
-fail to start.

-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
-
-<P>
-
-<B>Privoxy</B> is a web proxy with advanced filtering
-capabilities for protecting privacy, filtering web page content, managing
-cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other
-obnoxious Internet junk. <B>Privoxy</B> has a very
-flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and
-tastes. <B>Privoxy</B> has application for both
-stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.
-<P>
-
-<B>Privoxy</B> is based on <B>Internet
-Junkbuster</B> (tm).
-<A NAME="lbAF"> </A>
-<H2>INSTALLATION AND USAGE</H2>
-
-<P>
-
-Browsers must be individually configured to use <B>Privoxy</B> as
-a HTTP proxy. The default setting is for localhost, on port 8118
-(configurable in the main config file). To set the HTTP proxy in Netscape
-and Mozilla, go through: <B>Edit</B>;
-<B>Preferences</B>; <B>Advanced</B>;
-<B>Proxies</B>; <B>Manual Proxy Configuration</B>;
-<B>View</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.
-<P>
-
-For other browsers, check the documentation.
-<A NAME="lbAG"> </A>
-<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.action</I>, and
-<I>default.filter</I>. These are well commented. On Unix and
-Unix-like systems, these are located in <I>/etc/privoxy/</I> by
-default. On Windows, OS/2 and AmigaOS, these files are in the same directory
-as the <B>Privoxy</B> executable.
-<P>
-
-The name and number of configuration files has changed from previous
-versions, and is subject to change as development progresses. In fact, the
-configuration itself is changed and much more sophisticated. See the
-user-manual for a
-brief explanation of all configuration options.
-<P>
-
-The actions list (ad blocks, etc) can also be configured with your
-web browser at <A HREF="http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/config.">http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/config.</A>
-<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.

-<H2>SIGNALS</H2>
-
-<P>
-
-<B>Privoxy</B> terminates on the <B>SIGINT</B>,
-<B>SIGTERM</B> and <B>SIGABRT</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.

+ <h2>NAME</h2>
+ <pre>
+<!-- Manpage converted by man2html 3.0.1 -->
+
+</pre>
+
+ <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
+ <pre>
+ <b>privoxy</b> [<b>--help</b> ] [<b>--version</b> ] [<b>--no-daemon</b> ] [<b>--pidfile</b> <i>pidfile</i> ]
+ [<b>--user</b> <i>user[.group]</i> ] [<b>--chroot</b> ] [<b>--pre-chroot-nslookup</b> <i>hostname</i> ]
+ [<i>configfile</i> ]
+
+
+
+</pre>
+
+ <h2>OPTIONS</h2>
+ <pre>
+ <b>Privoxy</b> may be invoked with the following command line options:
+
+ <b>--help</b> Print brief usage info and exit.
+
+ <b>--version</b>
+ Print version 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 log-
+ ging 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>--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
+ sufficient to do so.
+
+ <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 pre-
+ tend to the <b>Privoxy</b> process that the directory tree starts
+ there. If set up carefully, this can limit the impact of possi-
+ ble vulnerabilities in <b>Privoxy</b> to the files contained in that
+ hierarchy.
+
+ <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.
+
+ 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>con-</i>
+ <i>figfile</i> is found, <b>Privoxy</b> will fail to start.
+
+
+</pre>
+
+ <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
+ <pre>
+ Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities
+ for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, con-
+ trolling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk.
+ Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit
+
+
+</pre>
+
+ <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>Connec-</b>
+ <b>tions</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
+ 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.
+
+ See the <i>User</i> <i>Manual</i> for a detailed explanation of installation, general
+ usage, all configuration options, new features and notes on upgrading.
+
+
+</pre>
+
+ <h2>FILES</h2>
+ <pre>
+ <i>/usr/sbin/privoxy</i>
+ <i>/etc/privoxy/config</i>
+ <i>/etc/privoxy/match-all.action</i>
+ <i>/etc/privoxy/default.action</i>
+ <i>/etc/privoxy/user.action</i>
+ <i>/etc/privoxy/default.filter</i>
+ detect them automatically.
+
+
+</pre>
+
+ <h2>NOTES</h2>
+ <pre>
+ This is a UNRELEASED 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 fea-
+ ture requests, reporting problems, and other questions.
