547 548 Yes, Privoxy runs as a server already, and can easily be configured to 549 “serve” more than one client. See How can I set up Privoxy to act as a 550 proxy for my LAN below. 551 552 ————————————————————————– 553 554 1.12. My browser does the same things as Privoxy. Why should I use Privoxy 555 at all? 556 557 Modern browsers do indeed have some of the same functionality as Privoxy. 558 Maybe this is adequate for you. But Privoxy is very versatile and 559 powerful, and can probably do a number of things your browser just can’t. 560 561 In addition, a proxy is good choice if you use multiple browsers, or have 562 a LAN with multiple computers since Privoxy can run as a server 563 application.
