and thus invisible to your + local network. Using socks4a would work too, but with socks5 you get more precise error + messages. Since We didn't. We make Privoxy available for download, but we don't go
+ around installing it on other people's systems behind their back.
+ If you discover Privoxy running on your system and are sure you didn't
+ install it yourself, somebody else did. You may not even be running
+ the real Privoxy, but maybe something else that only pretends to be
+ Privoxy, or maybe something that is based on the real Privoxy,
+ but has been modified. Lately there have been reports of problems with some kind of
+ Privoxy versions that come preinstalled on some Netbooks.
+ Some of the problems described are inconsistent with the behaviour
+ of official Privoxy versions, which suggests that the preinstalled
+ software may contain vendor modifications that we don't know about
+ and thus can't debug. Privoxy's license allows vendor
+ modifications, but the vendor has to comply with the license,
+ which involves informing the user about the changes and to make
+ the changes available under the same license as Privoxy itself. If you are having trouble with a modified Privoxy version,
+ please try to talk to whoever made the modifications before
+ reporting the problem to us. Please also try to convince
+ whoever made the modifications to talk to us. If you think
+ somebody gave you a modified Privoxy version without complying
+ to the license, please let us know.4.11. Might some things break because header information or
content is being altered?
4.12. Can Privoxy act as a "caching"
4.13. What about as a firewall? Can Privoxy protect me?
4.14. I have large empty spaces / a checkerboard pattern now where
ads used to be. Why?
4.15. How can Privoxy filter Secure (HTTPS) URLs?
4.16. Privoxy runs as a "server"
4.27. How did you manage to get Privoxy on my computer without my consent?
