Thanks for the info, It's usually something obvious and stupid that gets
me :( That and the fact that I did the setup at about 2am so I probably
missed something in the ebuild.
As an aside, I've now noticed that several sites have banned my IP
address since running tor in daemon mode, chief among these being
slashdot as well as a few irc servers.
This appears to be continue even after disabling the tor server and
rerouting my own browsing traffic away from the privoxy/tor setup.
LOL I guess I should have did a little more research on this before
setting it up.
Interestingly enough though, I'm still able to use the gentoo forums
regardless of if my tor setup is running or disabled.
In short, if you frequent certain sites, and you aren't in a dhcp
environment, it's probably a bad idea to run a tor server :)
Ok lesson learned, time to call comcast and ask 'em to give me a new IP
address.

At first I didn't think much about it, since I do spend quite a good

when I saw a new york times article reffering to M$ as MicroSuck,

bypassed the proxy just to verify and yep you guessed it, everything
returned to normal.
Someone who calls Microsoft M$ jumps out of their skin when they see it
spelled MiscoSuck? O.K.
I'm not seeing anything about this "feature/bug/whatever", in bugzilla
or anything, and none of the docs I have read seem to say anything
about it.

4.20. I've noticed that Privoxy changes "Microsoft" to "MicroSuck"! Why
are you manipulating my browsing?
We're not. The text substitutions that you are seeing are disabled in
the default configuration as shipped. You have either manually activated
the "fun" filter which is clearly labeled "Text replacements for
subversive browsing fun!" or you have implicitly activated it by
choosing the "Adventuresome" profile in the web-based editor (formerly
known as the Advanced profile).
I really hate censorship in all it's forms, and honestly to me this
presents as a form of censorship.
I really hate things getting mislabeled as censorship.
