Need Privoxy to start up during boot on 11.3 kde4.

linux-howto

http://forums.opensuse.org – I am completely fed up trying to do it. I had no problems with 11.0. It refuses to start up during boot like tor. I added tor to the kde start menu and it works just fine after boot. Privoxy refuses to start up during boot. I have to go into SU mode in terminal, then it works. I need to be able to start Privoxy the same way. I tried everything from chown / chmod commands, and it made no difference. I have it set for 777, and my name along with root. I also added the group privoxy to my user ID. I need the computer to disregard that it is a root program. Any help would be appreciated. (Distributions)

Privoxy, Fedora 17 KDE 36 weeks 3 days ago

I've installed Fedora for the first time - it seems quite fluid.

Having installed Privoxy, I'm having to manually start it every time I boot to KDE desktop.

Privoxy: exclude site 3 years 28 weeks ago

I am running a basic squid + privoxy combo for web caching/filtering proxy and it works fine. I'm basically running a stock config w/ a few minor edits to allow the relevant hosts access etc.

So I just installed a web proxy for the first time, Privoxy, and I was happily surprised that I got it running with minimal time and effort. But I'm still kind of uninformed about the benefits of Privoxy.

In tutorials and comments I keep seeing that it protects against ads, pop-ups, and cookies, but I was already using NoScript, Adblock Plus, HTTPS Everywhere and Cookie Whitelist on Firefox...

Hello,

I'm looking for a solution to route my SSH traffic through a proxy. Here is my setup:

Laptop --> ssh traffic --> remote ssh server (owned by me) --> privoxy (socks5) --> TOR.

As you can see, my main goal is this. I want to ssh into my remote server, and then all the outbound webtraffic generated on the remote server must go via TOR.

Privoxy help 3 years 32 weeks ago

I am currently running Privoxy, and I ran into a website with flash-based ads that I can't seem to get rid of. I know they can be removed, because AdblockPlus on firefox has a rule that takes care of it nicely, I just cannot determine how to apply this rule to privoxy.
