<p>This should be self-explanatory. Note the first item leads to an
editor for the <a href="actions-file.html">actions files</a>, which is
where the ad, banner, cookie, and URL blocking magic is configured as
aspects of <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> configuration. The
actions file, and other configuration files, are explained in detail
below.</p>
-
<p><span class="QUOTE">"Toggle Privoxy On or Off"</span> is handy for
sites that might have problems with your current actions and filters.
You can in fact use it as a test to see whether it is <span class=
"APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> causing the problem or not. <span class=
"APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> continues to run as a proxy in this case,
but all manipulation is disabled, i.e. <span class=
- "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> acts like a normal forwarding proxy. There
- is even a toggle <a href="appendix.html#BOOKMARKLETS">Bookmarklet</a>
- offered, so that you can toggle <span class=
- "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> with one click from your browser.</p>
-
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> acts like a normal forwarding proxy.</p>
<p>Note that several of the features described above are disabled by
default in <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> 3.0.7 beta and
later. Check the <a href="config.html" target="_top">configuration
file</a> to learn why and in which cases it's safe to enable them
again.</p>

Configuration Files Overview</a></h2>
-
<p>For Unix, *BSD and Linux, all configuration files are located in
<tt class="FILENAME">/etc/privoxy/</tt> by default. For MS Windows,
OS/2, and AmigaOS these are all in the same directory as the
<span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> executable.</p>
-
<p>The installed defaults provide a reasonable starting point, though
some settings may be aggressive by some standards. For the time being,
the principle configuration files are:</p>
-
<ul>
<li>
<p>The <a href="config.html">main configuration file</a> is named
AmigaOS and <tt class="FILENAME">config.txt</tt> on Windows. This
is a required file.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
<p><tt class="FILENAME">match-all.action</tt> is used to define
which <span class="QUOTE">"actions"</span> relating to
banner-blocking, images, pop-ups, content modification, cookie
handling etc should be applied by default. It should be the first
actions file loaded.</p>
-
<p><tt class="FILENAME">default.action</tt> defines many exceptions
(both positive and negative) from the default set of actions that's
configured in <tt class="FILENAME">match-all.action</tt>. It should
be the second actions file loaded and shouldn't be edited by the
user.</p>
-
<p>Multiple actions files may be defined in <tt class=
"FILENAME">config</tt>. These are processed in the order they are
defined. Local customizations and locally preferred exceptions to
"FILENAME">user.action</tt>, where you can preserve them across
upgrades. The file isn't installed by all installers, but you can
easily create it yourself with a text editor.</p>
-
<p>There is also a web based editor that can be accessed from
<a href="http://config.privoxy.org/show-status" target=
"_top">http://config.privoxy.org/show-status</a> (Shortcut:
"_top">http://p.p/show-status</a>) for the various actions
files.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
<p><span class="QUOTE">"Filter files"</span> (the <a href=
"filter-file.html">filter file</a>) can be used to re-write the raw
customizations.</p>
</li>
</ul>
-
<p>The syntax of the configuration and filter files may change between
different Privoxy versions, unfortunately some enhancements cost
backwards compatibility.</p>
-
<p>All files use the <span class="QUOTE">"<tt class=
"LITERAL">#</tt>"</span> character to denote a comment (the rest of the
line will be ignored) and understand line continuation through placing
"LITERAL">#</tt> in front of an otherwise valid configuration line to
prevent it from being interpreted is called "commenting out" that line.
Blank lines are ignored.</p>
-
<p>The actions files and filter files can use Perl style <a href=
"appendix.html#REGEX">regular expressions</a> for maximum
flexibility.</p>
-
<p>After making any changes, there is no need to restart <span class=
"APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> in order for the changes to take effect.
<span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> detects such changes
requests for the change to take effect. When changing the listening
address of <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>, these <span class=
"QUOTE">"wake up"</span> requests must obviously be sent to the
- <span class="emphasis EMPHASIS c3">old</span> listening address.</p>
+ <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">old</i></span> listening
+ address.</p>
