http://forums.fedoraforum.org – 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. I have tried setting the default profile from the "Cautious" default to "Medium" and "Advanced", but these ads still get through. In AdblockPlus, the rule is: Code: ||liverail.com^$third-party Based on the feedback I saw on my Adblock Blockable Elements window, this rule is invoked three times on the webpages I view, blocking a frame, script, and object-subrequest. Liverail is on many blocklists for the AdblockPlus extension, so I wonder why it hasn't made it onto the privoxy list, or if I have my configuration hosed. If anyone can help me figure out how to block this in privoxy, I would greatly appreciate it! :D (HowTos)

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...

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.

The text + photo ads on the side of Facebook annoy the hell out of me. They were blocked with AdBlock Plus in Firefox but since moving to Uzbl + Privoxy, they're back.

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.

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.

Privoxy, Fedora 17 KDE 36 weeks 2 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.

What do I need to configure to Privoxy for auto start?

Have set proxy server to 127.0.0.1 / 8118 in 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.
