Useful things to know about privoxy When it is running go to http://config.privoxy.org/ and you will be directed to your own local privoxy server instead of the privoxy home page. Here you can enable/disable privoxy and customise it, although in my experience the default settings are almost perfect. You might want to disable it for some sites if it interferes with tour Internet banking for example. If you use the Opera browser F12 will enable you to switch between privoxy and non proxy easily. There are extensions for Firefox to do some of Privoxy's functions although none of them seem quite as extensive. I have used privoxy for about 3 years now, and I have got used to seeing the internet without all those adverts and popups. Now when I see the web without privoxy it looks 'scary'. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
