+ <p>For Internet Explorer, go through: <b>Tools</b>; <b>Internet
+ Properties</b>; <b>Connections</b>; <b>LAN Settings</b>.</p>
+
+ <p>The Secure (SSL) Proxy should also be set to the same values, otherwise
+ https: URLs will not be proxied. Note: <b>Privoxy</b> 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.</p>

+ <h2>CONFIGURATION</h2>
+
+ <p><b>Privoxy</b> can be configured with the various configuration files.
+ The default configuration files are: <i>config</i>, <i>default.filter</i>,
+ <i>default.action</i> and <i>default.action</i>. <i>user.action</i> should
+ be used for locally defined exceptions to the default rules in
+ <i>match-all.action</i> and <i>default.action</i>, and <i>user.filter</i>
+ for locally defined filters. These are well commented. On Unix and
+ Unix-like systems, these are located in <i>/etc/privoxy/</i> by
+ default.</p>
+
+ <p><b>Privoxy</b> uses the concept of <b>actions</b> 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.</p>
+
+ <p>The actions list (ad blocks, etc) can also be configured with your web
+ browser at <a href=
+ "http://config.privoxy.org/">http://config.privoxy.org/</a> (assuming the
+ configuration allows it). <b>Privoxy's</b> configuration parameters can
+ also be viewed at the same page. In addition, <b>Privoxy</b> can be toggled
+ on/off. This is an internal page, and does not require Internet access.</p>
+
+ <p>See the <i>User Manual</i> for a detailed explanation of installation,
+ general usage, all configuration options, new features and notes on
+ upgrading. <a name="lbAH" id="lbAH"> </a></p>
