-
- <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
-
- <p><b>privoxy</b> [<b>--chroot</b> ] [<b>--config-test</b> ] [<b>--help</b>
- ] [<b>--no-daemon</b> ] [<b>--pidfile</b> <i>pidfile</i> ]
- [<b>--pre-chroot-nslookup</b> <i>hostname</i> ] [<b>--user</b>
- <i>user[.group]</i> ] [<b>--version</b> ] [<i>configfile</i> ]</p>
-
- <p><a name="lbAD" id="lbAD"> </a></p>
-
- <h2>OPTIONS</h2>
-
- <p><b>Privoxy</b> may be invoked with the following command line
- options:</p>
-
- <dl compact>
- <dt><b>--chroot</b></dt>
-
- <dd>Before changing to the user ID given in the --user option, chroot to
- that user's home directory, i.e. make the kernel pretend to the
- <b>Privoxy</b> process that the directory tree starts there. If set up
- carefully, this can limit the impact of possible vulnerabilities in
- <b>Privoxy</b> to the files contained in that hierarchy.</dd>
-
- <dt><b>--config-test</b></dt>
-
- <dd>
- Exit after loading the configuration files before binding to the listen
- address. The exit code signals whether or not the configuration files
- have been successfully loaded.
-
- <p>If the exit code is 1, at least one of the configuration files is
- invalid, if it is 0, all the configuration files have been successfully
- loaded (but may still contain errors that can currently only be
- detected at run time).</p>
-
- <p>This option doesn't affect the log setting, combination with
- "--no-daemon" is recommended if a configured log file shouldn't be
- used.</p>
- </dd>
-
- <dt><b>--help</b></dt>
-
- <dd>Print brief usage info and exit.</dd>
-
- <dt><b>--no-daemon</b></dt>
-
- <dd>Don't become a daemon, i.e. don't fork and become process group
- leader, don't detach from controlling tty, and do all logging there.</dd>
-
- <dt><b>--pidfile</b> <i>pidfile</i></dt>
-
- <dd>On startup, write the process ID to <i>pidfile</i>. Delete the
- <i>pidfile</i> on exit. Failure to create or delete the <i>pidfile</i> is
- non-fatal. If no <b>--pidfile</b> option is given, no PID file will be
- used.</dd>
-
- <dt><b>--pre-chroot-nslookup</b> <i>hostname</i></dt>
-
- <dd>Initialize the resolver library using <i>hostname</i> before
- chroot'ing. On some systems this reduces the number of files that must be
- copied into the chroot tree.</dd>
-
- <dt><b>--user</b> <i>user[.group]</i></dt>
-
- <dd>After (optionally) writing the PID file, assume the user ID of
- <i>user</i> and the GID of <i>group</i>, or, if the optional <i>group</i>
- was not given, the default group of <i>user</i>. Exit if the privileges
- are not sufficient to do so.</dd>
-
- <dt><b>--version</b></dt>
-
- <dd>Print version info and exit.</dd>
- </dl>
-
- <p>If the <i>configfile</i> is not specified on the command line,
- <b>Privoxy</b> will look for a file named <i>config</i> in the current
- directory. If no <i>configfile</i> is found, <b>Privoxy</b> will fail to
- start. <a name="lbAE" id="lbAE"> </a></p>

- <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
-
- <p>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.</p>
-
- <p>Privoxy is Free Software and licensed under the GNU GPLv2.</p>
-
- <p>Privoxy is an associated project of Software in the Public Interest
- (SPI).</p>

- <h2>INSTALLATION AND USAGE</h2>
-
- <p>Browsers can either be individually configured to use <b>Privoxy</b> as
- a HTTP proxy (recommended), or <b>Privoxy</b> can be combined with a packet
- filter to build an intercepting proxy (see <i>config</i>). The default
- setting is for localhost, on port 8118 (configurable in the main config
- file). To set the HTTP proxy in Firefox, go through: <b>Tools</b>;
- <b>Options</b>; <b>General</b>; <b>Connection Settings</b>; <b>Manual Proxy
- Configuration</b>.</p>
-
- <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>
-
- <p>For other browsers, check the documentation. <a name="lbAG" id=
- "lbAG"> </a></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>

- <h2>FILES</h2>
- <pre>
- <i>/usr/sbin/privoxy</i>
- <i>/etc/privoxy/config</i>
- <i>/etc/privoxy/match-all.action</i>
- <i>/etc/privoxy/default.action</i>
- <i>/etc/privoxy/user.action</i>
- <i>/etc/privoxy/default.filter</i>
- <i>/etc/privoxy/user.filter</i>
- <i>/etc/privoxy/trust</i>
- <i>/etc/privoxy/templates/*</i>
- <i>/var/log/privoxy/logfile</i>
-</pre>
-
- <p>Various other files should be included, but may vary depending on
- platform and build configuration. Additional documentation should be
- included in the local documentation directory. <a name="lbAI" id=

-
- <h2>SIGNALS</h2>
-
- <p><b>Privoxy</b> terminates on the <b>SIGINT</b> and <b>SIGTERM</b>
- signals. Log rotation scripts may cause a re-opening of the logfile by
- sending a <b>SIGHUP</b> to <b>Privoxy</b>. Note that unlike other daemons,
- <b>Privoxy</b> does not need to be made aware of config file changes by
- <b>SIGHUP</b> -- it will detect them automatically. Signals other than the
- ones listed above aren't explicitly handled and result in the default
- action defined by the operating system. <a name="lbAJ" id=
- "lbAJ"> </a></p>

- <h2>NOTES</h2>
-
- <p>Please see the <i>User Manual</i> on how to contact the developers, for
- feature requests, reporting problems, and other questions. <a name="lbAK"
