Privoxy 3.0.8

Privoxy - Web proxy for protecting privacy.

Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy, modifying web page data, managing cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.

One of Privoxy's strength's is that it is highly configurable giving you the ability to completely personalize your installation. Being familiar with, or at least having an interest in learning about HTTP and other networking protocols, HTML, IP (Internet Protocol), and "Regular Expressions" will be a big plus and will help you get the most out of Privoxy. A new installation just includes a very basic configuration. The user should take this as a starting point only, and enhance it as he or she sees fit. In fact, the user is encouraged, and expected to, fine-tune the configuration.

Much of Privoxy's configuration can be done with a Web browser. But there are areas where configuration is done using a text editor to edit configuration files.
