Look for the listen-address option, which may be 1010 commented out with a “#” symbol. Make sure it is uncommented, and assign 1011 it the address of the LAN gateway interface, and port number to use. 1012 Assuming your LAN address is 192.168.1.1 and you wish to run Privoxy on 1013 port 8118, this line should look like: 1014 1015 listen-address 192.168.1.1:8118 1016 1017 Save the file, and restart Privoxy. Configure all browsers on the network 1018 then to use this address and port number. 1019 1020 Alternately, you can have Privoxy listen on all available interfaces: 1021 1022 listen-address :8118 1023 1024 And then use Privoxy’s permit-access feature to limit connections. A 1025 firewall in this situation is recommended as well. 1026 1027 The above steps should be the same for any TCP network,
