Report Bugs

Please report all bugs only through our - bug tracker: - http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=11118&atid=111118.

Before doing so, please make sure that the bug has not already been submitted - and observe the aditional hints at the top of the submit - form.

- Please try to verify that it is a Privoxy bug, - and not a browser or site bug first. If unsure, - try toggling - off Privoxy, and see if the problem persists. - The appendix - of the user manual also has helpful information - on action debugging. If you are using your own custom configuration, please try - the stock configs to see if the problem is configuration related.

If not using the latest version, chances are that the bug has been found - and fixed in the meantime. We would appreciate if you could take the time - to upgrade - to the latest version (or even the latest CVS snapshot) and verify - your bug, but this is not required for reporting.

    • History

  • In the beginning, there was the - Internet Junkbuster, - by Anonymous Coders and Junkbusters - Corporation. It saved many users a lot of pain in the early days of - web advertising and user tracking.

    But the web, its protocols and standards, and with it, the techniques for - forcing users to consume ads, give up autonomy over their browsing, and - for spying on them, kept evolving. Unfortunately, the Internet - Junkbuster did not. Version 2.0.2, published in 1998, was - (and is) the last official - The project page at releaseSourceForge - available from Junkbusters Corporation. - Fortunately, it had been released under the GNU - GPL, which allowed further - development by others.

  • So Stefan Waldherr started maintaining an - improved version of the - software, to which eventually a number of people contributed patches. - It could already replace banners with a transparent image, and had a first - version of pop-up killing, but it was still very closely based on the - original, with all its limitations, such as the lack of HTTP/1.1 support, - flexible per-site configuration, or content modification. The last release - from this effort was version 2.0.2-10, published in 2000.

  • Then, some - developersPictures of the Privoxy Team - picked up the thread, and started turning the software inside out, upside down, - and then reassembled it, adding many - new - features along the way.

    The result of this is Privoxy, whose first - stable release, 3.0, is due in May 2002.
