How do I configure Privoxy?
Privoxy is used for HTTP secure connections to the Web. It works in conjunction with Tor. It is not used for Usenet or Email. The config.txt file looks daunting, but you just remove # from the beginning of any line to make that line active. The only change you must make is to ensure Privoxy routes through the Tor network. To ensure this, scroll down to section 5.2 in config.txt Copy and paste the following line exactly as shown, into section 5.2: forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 . The spacing and the period at the end are important. You should leave the other lines alone unless you know what you are about. The above is mandatory, but optionally and strongly recommended once you have succeeded in getting privoxy working properly, is to stop it logging your actions. Do this by commenting out (using # at the start of the line) “logfile privoxy.log” and “jarfile jar.log”. By default it will run on startup and minimize to the task bar.
