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...
Further investigation indicates that the problem lies in the privoxy.service file.This file, included in the latest version of the package fails: [Unit]
Description=Privoxy Web Proxy With Advanced Filtering Capabilities
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/run/privoxy.pid

Hi I can't get Privoxy working with Tor.I followed the Proxy routing with Tor and Privoxy but I can't seem to get it to work.I want curl to POST stuff into privoxy which in turn gives it to tor.
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.
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.
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.
I am having trouble with foxyproxy and Tor. I have both Tor and Privoxy installed and running in all levels, and when I installed foxy proxy it refused to configure. Firefox crashed each time I booted it. So, un-installed foxy proxy and installed foxy proxy basic, followed the instruction exactly, and again, Firefox refused to work. This time I had to change the profile to get back up.
The question is how does one install and configure a typical installation of tor, vidalia, polipo, and privoxy on Centos 6.1. Privoxy installed and started easily via
I am following this guide
And I am stuck on the privoxy part.
In the config file
Code:
4.1.
