See -http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net. - -Internet Junkbuster 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. Junkbuster has a very -flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs -and tastes. Internet Junkbuster has application for both stand-alone -systems and multi-user networks. - -JunkBuster was originally written by JunkBusters Corporation, and was -released as free open-source software under the GNU GPL. Stefan -Waldherr made many improvements, and started the SourceForge project -to continue development. - - INSTALL --------- - -For tarball, first unpack: - - tar xzvf ijb_source_* [.tgz or .tar.gz] - cd ijb_source_2.9.10_alpha - - autoheader [suggested for CVS source] - autoconf [suggested for CVS source] - ./configure (--help to see options) - gmake (the make from gnu) - su - make -n install (to see where all the files will go) - make install (to really install) - -Redhat and SuSE src and binary RPMs can be built with 'make -redhat-dist' or 'make suse-dist' (run ./configure first). BSD -will (probably?) require gmake (from http://gnu.org). See the -user-manual for OS/2 build instructions. - -Junkbuster is also available via anonymous CVS: - - cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login - cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co current - -This will create a directory named 'current'.

If none is specified, Junkbuster will -look for a file named 'config' for unix, config.txt for Win32 -in the current directory. - - - CONFIGURATION --------------- - -See: 'config', 'ijb.action', and 're_filterfile'. These are all well -commented. On Unix-like systems, these files are installed in /etc/junkbuster. -On Windows, then wherever the executable itself is installed. There are many -significant changes and advances since v2.0.x. The user-manual has a -run down of configuration options, and examples: -http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/user-manual/. - -Be sure to set your browser(s) for HTTP/HTTPS Proxy at :, -or whatever you specify in the config file under 'listen-address'. -DEFAULT is localhost:8000. - -The ijb.action file can be configured via the web interface accessed via -http://i.j.b/, as well other options. - - - DOCUMENTATION --------------- - -The best source of information on the current development version, is -either comments in the source code, or the included configuration -files, which are all well commented. These are 'config', -'actionsfile', and 're_filterfile' in the toplevel source directory. - -There is a growing amount of new documentation in the 'doc' -subdirectory, but it is sparse at this point. In particular, see -the user-manual there, which is 'nearly there'. - -Some legacy documentation is also included only to give an idea of -what Junkbuster can do under doc/obsolete/*. Much has changed since -these docs were written, so beware. - - - BUGS ------ - -Use the form at -http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?group_id=11118&atid=111118 to -report bugs.

See http:// +www.privoxy.org/ for more information. The current code level is beta, and +seems stable to us :). + +Privoxy 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. Privoxy has a +very flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and +tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user +networks. + +Privoxy is based on Internet Junkbuster (tm). + + + IMPORTANT CHANGES +------------------ + +NEWS! As of 03/24/02, the name of this project has been changed from ijbswa/ +Junkbuster to Privoxy. This is reflected in many of the included files. + +WARNING! If upgrading from earlier versions of this project via RPM packages, +the new package will delete any previously installed 'Junkbuster' packages. + +IMPORTANT! READ! Configuration Change as of 17 Mar 2002: The default listening +port is now 8118 due to conflicts with port 8000 assignment. You will need to +change your browser if upgrading!!! And maybe firewall, etc. + + + INSTALL +-------- + +To build Privoxy from source, autoheader, autoconf, GNU make (gmake), and, of +course, a C compiler are required. + +When building from a source tarball (either release version or nightly CVS +tarball), first unpack the source: + + tar xzvf privoxy-2.9.14-beta-src* [.tgz or .tar.gz] + cd privoxy-2.9.14-beta + +For retrieving the current CVS sources, you'll need CVS installed. Note that +sources from CVS are development quality, and may not be stable, or well +tested. To download CVS source: + + cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login + cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co current + cd current + +This will create a directory named current/, which will contain the source +tree. + +Then, in either case, to build from unpacked tarball or CVS source: + + autoheader + autoconf + ./configure # (--help to see options) + make # (the make from gnu, gmake for *BSD) + su + make -n install # (to see where all the files will go) + make install # (to really install) + +If you have gnu make, you can have the first four steps automatically done for +you by just typing: + + make + +in the freshly downloaded or unpacked source directory. + +For more detailed instructions on how to build Redhat and SuSE RPMs, Windows +self-extracting installers, building on platforms with special requirements +etc, please consult the developer manual. + +For binary RPM installation, and other platforms, see the user-manual as well. + + + RUN +---- + +privoxy [--help] [--version] [--no-daemon] [--pidfile PIDFILE] [--user USER +[.GROUP]] [config_file] + +See the man page or user-manual for a brief explanation of each option. + +If no config_file is specified on the command line, Privoxy will look for a +file named 'config' in the current directory (except Win32 which will look for +'config.txt'). If no config_file is found, Privoxy will fail to start. + +Or for Red Hat: /etc/rc.d/init.d/privoxy start + +Or for SuSE: /etc/rc.d/privoxy start + + + CONFIGURATION +-------------- + +See: 'config', 'default.action', 'user.action', and 'default.filter'. +'user.action' is for personal configuration. These are all well commented. Most +of the magic is in '*.action' files. 'user.action' should be used for any +actions customizations. On Unix-like systems, these files are installed in /etc +/privoxy. On Windows, then wherever the executable itself is installed. There +are many significant changes and advances since Junkbuster v2.0.x. The +user-manual has a run down of configuration options, and examples: http:// +www.privoxy.org/user-manual/. + +Be sure to set your browser(s) for HTTP/HTTPS Proxy at :, or whatever +you specify in the config file under 'listen-address'. DEFAULT is localhost: +8118. + +The actions list can be configured via the web interface accessed via http:// +p.p/, as well other options. + +All configuration files are subject to unannounced changes during the +development process. + + + DOCUMENTATION +-------------- + +There should be documentation in the 'doc' subdirectory, but it is not +completed at this point. In particular, see the user-manual there, the faq, and +those interested in Privoxy development, should look at developer-manual. + +The most up to date source of information on the current development version, +may still be either comments in the source code, or the included configuration +files. The source and configuration files are all well commented. The main +configuration files are: 'config', 'default.action', and 'default.filter' in +the toplevel source directory. + +Included documentation may vary according to platform and packager. + + + CONTACTING THE DEVELOPERS, BUG REPORTING AND FEATURE REQUESTS +-------------------------------------------------------------- + + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + ijbswa-developers@lists.sourceforge.net + +$Id: readme.sgml,v 1.12 2002/04/26 17:45:36 swa Exp $ +
