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

If no config_file is specified on the command line, Privoxy will look for a
file named 'config' in the current directory (except Win32 which will look for
'config.txt'). If no config_file is found, Privoxy will fail to start.

See: 'config', 'default.action', 'user.action', and 'default.filter'.
-'user.action' is for personal and local configuration preferences. These are
-all well commented. Most of the magic is in '*.action' files. 'user.action'
-should be used for any actions customizations. On Unix-like systems, these
-files are installed in /etc/privoxy. On Windows, then wherever the executable
-itself is installed. There are many significant changes and advances since
-Junkbuster v2.0.x. The User Manual has an explanation of all configuration
-options, and examples: http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/.

+We value your feedback. However, to provide you with the best support, please
+note the following sections.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1. Get Support
-For casual users, our support forum at SourceForge is probably best suited:
-http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=11118&atid=211118
+To get support, use the Sourceforge Support Forum:
-All users are of course welcome to discuss their issues on the users mailing
-list, where the developers also hang around.
+ http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=11118&atid=211118
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-6.2. Report Bugs
-
-Please report all bugs only through our bug tracker: http://sourceforge.net/
-tracker/?group_id=11118&atid=111118.
+6.2. Report bugs
-Before doing so, please make sure that the bug has not already been submitted
-and observe the additional hints at the top of the submit form.
+To submit bugs, use the Sourceforge Bug Forum:
-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.
+ http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=11118&atid=111118.
-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.
+Make sure that the bug has not already been submitted. Please try to verify
+that it is a Privoxy bug, and not a browser or site bug first. If you are using
+your own custom configuration, please try the stock configs to see if the
+problem is a configuration related bug. And if not using the latest development
+snapshot, please try the latest one. Or even better, CVS sources. Please be
+sure to include the Privoxy version, platform, browser, any pertinent log data,
+any other relevant details (please be specific) and, if possible, some way to
+reproduce the bug.

-6.3. Request New Features
+6.3. Request new features
