- -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. If no -configfile 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, controlling -access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a -flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. -It has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks. -
- -Privoxy is Free Software and licensed under the GPL2. -
- -Privoxy is an associated project of Software in the Public Interest (SPI). -Donations are welcome. - -
- -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; Connections; -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. - -

- -Privoxy terminates on the SIGINT, -SIGTERM and SIGABRT signals. Log -rotation scripts may cause a re-opening of the logfile by sending a -SIGHUP to Privoxy.

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.
