-privoxy.exe [configfile] (Windows) -
- -Privoxy may be invoked with the following command line -options: -
- -If the configfile is not specified on the command line, -Privoxy will look for a file named -config in the current directory (except on Win32 where -it will try config.txt). If no -configfile is found, Privoxy will -fail to start. - -
- -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). - -
- -Browsers must be individually configured to use Privoxy 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: Edit; -Preferences; Advanced; -Proxies; Manual Proxy Configuration; -View. -
- -For Internet Explorer, go through: Tools; -Internet Properties; Connections; -LAN Settings. -
- -The Secure (SSL) Proxy should also be set to the same values, otherwise -https: URLs will not be proxied. -
- -For other browsers, check the documentation. - -
- -Privoxy can be configured with the various configuration -files. The default configuration files are: config, -default.action, and -default.filter. These are well commented. On Unix and -Unix-like systems, these are located in /etc/privoxy/ by -default. On Windows, OS/2 and AmigaOS, these files are in the same directory -as the Privoxy executable. -
- -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. -
- -The actions list (ad blocks, etc) can also be configured with your -web browser at http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/config. -Privoxy's configuration parameters can also be viewed at -the same page. In addition, Privoxy can be toggled on/off. -This is an internal page. - -

+ Privoxy may be invoked with the following command line options: + + --help Print brief usage info and exit. + + --version + Print version info and exit. + + --no-daemon + 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. + + --pidfile pidfile + On startup, write the process ID to pidfile. Delete the pidfile + on exit. Failure to create or delete the pidfile is non-fatal. + If no --pidfile option is given, no PID file will be used. + + --user user[.group] + After (optionally) writing the PID file, assume the user ID of + user and the GID of group, or, if the optional group was not + given, the default group of user. Exit if the privileges are not + sufficient to do so. + + --chroot + 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 Privoxy process that the directory tree starts + there. If set up carefully, this can limit the impact of possi- + ble vulnerabilities in Privoxy to the files contained in that + hierarchy. + + --pre-chroot-nslookup hostname + Initialize the resolver library using hostname before + chroot'ing. On some systems this reduces the number of files + that must be copied into the chroot tree. + + If the configfile is not specified on the command line, Privoxy + will look for a file named config in the current directory. If no con- + figfile is found, Privoxy will fail to start. + + ++ +
+ 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 + + ++ +
+ Browsers can either be individually configured to use Privoxy as a HTTP + proxy (recommended), or Privoxy can be combined with a packet filter to + build an intercepting proxy (see config). The default setting is for + localhost, on port 8118 (configurable in the main config file). To + set the HTTP proxy in Firefox, go through: Tools; Options; General; + Connection Settings; Manual Proxy Configuration. + + For Internet Explorer, go through: Tools; Internet Properties; Connec- + tions; LAN Settings. + + The Secure (SSL) Proxy should also be set to the same values, otherwise + https: URLs will not be proxied. Note: Privoxy 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. + + ++ +
+ Privoxy can be configured with the various configuration files. The + default configuration files are: config, default.filter, default.action + and default.action. user.action should be used for locally defined + exceptions to the default rules in match-all.action and default.action, + and user.filter for locally defined filters. These are well commented. + On Unix and Unix-like systems, these are located in /etc/privoxy/ by + default. + + Privoxy uses the concept of actions 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). Privoxy's configuration parameters can also be viewed at + the same page. In addition, Privoxy can be toggled on/off. This is an + internal page, and does not require Internet access. + + See the User Manual for a detailed explanation of installation, general + usage, all configuration options, new features and notes on upgrading. + + ++ +
