Can Privoxy run as a “intercepting” proxy?
1129 1130 Privoxy can’t intercept traffic itself, but it can handle requests that 1131 where intercepted and redirected with a packet filter (like PF or 1132 iptables), as long as the Host header is present. 1133 1134 As the Host header is required by HTTP/1.1 and as most web sites rely on 1135 it anyway, this limitation shouldn’t be a problem. 1136 1137 Please refer to your packet filter’s documentation to learn how to 1138 intercept and redirect traffic into Privoxy. Afterward you just have to 1139 configure Privoxy to accept intercepted requests.
