 |

#  I. INTRODUCTION
 | 
						|
#   ===============
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  This file holds Privoxy's main configuration. Privoxy detects
 | 
						|
#  configuration changes automatically, so you don't have to restart
 | 
						|
#  it unless you want to load a different configuration file.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  The configuration will be reloaded with the first request after
 | 
						|
#  the change was done, this request itself will still use the old
 | 
						|
#  configuration, though. In other words: it takes two requests
 | 
						|
#  before you see the result of your changes. Requests that are
 | 
						|
#  dropped due to ACL don't trigger reloads.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  When starting Privoxy on Unix systems, give the location of this
 | 
						|
#  file as last argument. On Windows systems, Privoxy will look for
 | 
						|
#  this file with the name 'config.txt' in the current working
 | 
						|
#  directory of the Privoxy process.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  II. FORMAT OF THE CONFIGURATION FILE
 | 
						|
#  ====================================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Configuration lines consist of an initial keyword followed by a
 | 
						|
#  list of values, all separated by whitespace (any number of spaces
 | 
						|
#  or tabs). For example,
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  actionsfile default.action
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Indicates that the actionsfile is named 'default.action'.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  The '#' indicates a comment. Any part of a line following a '#' is
 | 
						|
#  ignored, except if the '#' is preceded by a '\'.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Thus, by placing a # at the start of an existing configuration
 | 
						|
#  line, you can make it a comment and it will be treated as if it
 | 
						|
#  weren't there. This is called "commenting out" an option and can
 | 
						|
#  be useful. Removing the # again is called "uncommenting".
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Note that commenting out an option and leaving it at its default
 | 
						|
#  are two completely different things! Most options behave very
 | 
						|
#  differently when unset. See the "Effect if unset" explanation in
 | 
						|
#  each option's description for details.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Long lines can be continued on the next line by using a `\' as the
 | 
						|
#  last character.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  1. LOCAL SET-UP DOCUMENTATION
 | 
						|
#  ==============================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  If you intend to operate Privoxy for more users than just
 | 
						|
#  yourself, it might be a good idea to let them know how to reach
 | 
						|
#  you, what you block and why you do that, your policies, etc.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  1.1. user-manual
 | 
						|
#  =================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Location of the Privoxy User Manual.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      A fully qualified URI
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Unset
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      http://www.privoxy.org/version/user-manual/ will be used,
 | 
						|
#      where version is the Privoxy version.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The User Manual URI is the single best source of information
 | 
						|
#      on Privoxy, and is used for help links from some of the
 | 
						|
#      internal CGI pages. The manual itself is normally packaged
 | 
						|
#      with the binary distributions, so you probably want to set
 | 
						|
#      this to a locally installed copy.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The best all purpose solution is simply to put the full local
 | 
						|
#      PATH to where the User Manual is located:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        user-manual  /usr/share/doc/privoxy/user-manual
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The User Manual is then available to anyone with access to
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy, by following the built-in URL: http://
 | 
						|
#      config.privoxy.org/user-manual/ (or the shortcut: http://p.p/
 | 
						|
#      user-manual/).
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If the documentation is not on the local system, it can be
 | 
						|
#      accessed from a remote server, as:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        user-manual  http://example.com/privoxy/user-manual/
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      WARNING!!!
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#          If set, this option should be the first option in the
 | 
						|
#          config file, because it is used while the config file is
 | 
						|
#          being read.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
user-manual /usr/share/doc/privoxy-3.0.23/user-manual/
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  1.2. trust-info-url
 | 
						|
#  ====================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      A URL to be displayed in the error page that users will see if
 | 
						|
#      access to an untrusted page is denied.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      URL
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Unset
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      No links are displayed on the "untrusted" error page.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The value of this option only matters if the experimental
 | 
						|
#      trust mechanism has been activated. (See trustfile below.)
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If you use the trust mechanism, it is a good idea to write up
 | 
						|
#      some on-line documentation about your trust policy and to
 | 
						|
#      specify the URL(s) here. Use multiple times for multiple URLs.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The URL(s) should be added to the trustfile as well, so users
 | 
						|
#      don't end up locked out from the information on why they were
 | 
						|
#      locked out in the first place!

 | 
						|

 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  1.3. admin-address
 | 
						|
#  ===================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      An email address to reach the Privoxy administrator.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Email address
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Unset
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      No email address is displayed on error pages and the CGI user
 | 
						|
#      interface.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If both admin-address and proxy-info-url are unset, the whole
 | 
						|
#      "Local Privoxy Support" box on all generated pages will not be
 | 
						|
#      shown.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#admin-address privoxy-admin@example.com
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  1.4. proxy-info-url
 | 
						|
#  ====================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      A URL to documentation about the local Privoxy setup,
 | 
						|
#      configuration or policies.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      URL
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Unset
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      No link to local documentation is displayed on error pages and
 | 
						|
#      the CGI user interface.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If both admin-address and proxy-info-url are unset, the whole
 | 
						|
#      "Local Privoxy Support" box on all generated pages will not be
 | 
						|
#      shown.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      This URL shouldn't be blocked ;-)
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#proxy-info-url http://www.example.com/proxy-service.html
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  2. CONFIGURATION AND LOG FILE LOCATIONS
 | 
						|
#  ========================================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Privoxy can (and normally does) use a number of other files for
 | 
						|
#  additional configuration, help and logging. This section of the
 | 
						|
#  configuration file tells Privoxy where to find those other files.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  The user running Privoxy, must have read permission for all
 | 
						|
#  configuration files, and write permission to any files that would
 | 
						|
#  be modified, such as log files and actions files.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  2.1. confdir
 | 
						|
#  =============
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The directory where the other configuration files are located.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Path name
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      /etc/privoxy (Unix) or Privoxy installation dir (Windows)
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Mandatory
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      No trailing "/", please.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
confdir /etc/privoxy
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  2.2. templdir
 | 
						|
#  ==============
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      An alternative directory where the templates are loaded from.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Path name
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      unset
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The templates are assumed to be located in confdir/template.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy's original templates are usually overwritten with each
 | 
						|
#      update. Use this option to relocate customized templates that
 | 
						|
#      should be kept. As template variables might change between
 | 
						|
#      updates, you shouldn't expect templates to work with Privoxy
 | 
						|
#      releases other than the one they were part of, though.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#templdir .
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  2.3. temporary-directory
 | 
						|
#  =========================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      A directory where Privoxy can create temporary files.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Path name
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      unset
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      No temporary files are created, external filters don't work.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      To execute external filters, Privoxy has to create temporary
 | 
						|
#      files. This directive specifies the directory the temporary
 | 
						|
#      files should be written to.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      It should be a directory only Privoxy (and trusted users) can
 | 
						|
#      access.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#temporary-directory .
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  2.4. logdir
 | 
						|
#  ============
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The directory where all logging takes place (i.e. where the
 | 
						|
#      logfile is located).
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Path name
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      /var/log/privoxy (Unix) or Privoxy installation dir (Windows)
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Mandatory
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      No trailing "/", please.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
logdir /var/log/privoxy
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  2.5. actionsfile
 | 
						|
#  =================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The actions file(s) to use
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Complete file name, relative to confdir
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default values:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        match-all.action # Actions that are applied to all sites and maybe overruled later on.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        default.action   # Main actions file
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        user.action      # User customizations
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      No actions are taken at all. More or less neutral proxying.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Multiple actionsfile lines are permitted, and are in fact
 | 
						|
#      recommended!
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The default values are default.action, which is the "main"
 | 
						|
#      actions file maintained by the developers, and user.action,
 | 
						|
#      where you can make your personal additions.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Actions files contain all the per site and per URL
 | 
						|
#      configuration for ad blocking, cookie management, privacy
 | 
						|
#      considerations, etc.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
actionsfile match-all.action # Actions that are applied to all sites and maybe overruled later on.
 | 
						|
actionsfile default.action   # Main actions file
 | 
						|
actionsfile user.action      # User customizations
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  2.6. filterfile
 | 
						|
#  ================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The filter file(s) to use
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      File name, relative to confdir
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      default.filter (Unix) or default.filter.txt (Windows)
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      No textual content filtering takes place, i.e. all +filter{name}
 | 
						|
#      actions in the actions files are turned neutral.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Multiple filterfile lines are permitted.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The filter files contain content modification rules that use
 | 
						|
#      regular expressions. These rules permit powerful changes on
 | 
						|
#      the content of Web pages, and optionally the headers as well,
 | 
						|
#      e.g., you could try to disable your favorite JavaScript

#      The +filter{name} actions rely on the relevant filter (name)
 |

#
 |

#      A pre-defined filter file called default.filter that contains

#      the distribution. See the section on the filter action for a
 | 
						|
#      list.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      It is recommended to place any locally adapted filters into a

#  2.7. logfile
 | 
						|
#  =============
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The log file to use
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      File name, relative to logdir
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Unset (commented out). When activated: logfile (Unix) or
 | 
						|
#      privoxy.log (Windows).
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      No logfile is written.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The logfile is where all logging and error messages are
 | 
						|
#      written. The level of detail and number of messages are set
 | 
						|
#      with the debug option (see below). The logfile can be useful
 | 
						|
#      for tracking down a problem with Privoxy (e.g., it's not
 | 
						|
#      blocking an ad you think it should block) and it can help you
 | 
						|
#      to monitor what your browser is doing.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Depending on the debug options below, the logfile may be a
 | 
						|
#      privacy risk if third parties can get access to it. As most
 | 
						|
#      users will never look at it, Privoxy only logs fatal errors by
 | 
						|
#      default.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      For most troubleshooting purposes, you will have to change
 | 
						|
#      that, please refer to the debugging section for details.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Any log files must be writable by whatever user Privoxy is
 | 
						|
#      being run as (on Unix, default user id is "privoxy").
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      To prevent the logfile from growing indefinitely, it is
 | 
						|
#      recommended to periodically rotate or shorten it. Many
 | 
						|
#      operating systems support log rotation out of the box, some
 | 
						|
#      require additional software to do it. For details, please
 | 
						|
#      refer to the documentation for your operating system.

#
 | 
						|
#  2.8. trustfile
 | 
						|
#  ===============
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The name of the trust file to use
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      File name, relative to confdir
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Unset (commented out). When activated: trust (Unix) or
 | 
						|
#      trust.txt (Windows)
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The entire trust mechanism is disabled.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The trust mechanism is an experimental feature for building
 | 
						|
#      white-lists and should be used with care. It is NOT
 | 
						|
#      recommended for the casual user.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If you specify a trust file, Privoxy will only allow access to
 | 
						|
#      sites that are specified in the trustfile. Sites can be listed
 | 
						|
#      in one of two ways:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Prepending a ~ character limits access to this site only (and
 | 
						|
#      any sub-paths within this site), e.g. ~www.example.com allows
 | 
						|
#      access to ~www.example.com/features/news.html, etc.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Or, you can designate sites as trusted referrers, by
 | 
						|
#      prepending the name with a + character. The effect is that
 | 
						|
#      access to untrusted sites will be granted -- but only if a
 | 
						|
#      link from this trusted referrer was used to get there. The
 | 
						|
#      link target will then be added to the "trustfile" so that
 | 
						|
#      future, direct accesses will be granted. Sites added via this
 | 
						|
#      mechanism do not become trusted referrers themselves (i.e.
 | 
						|
#      they are added with a ~ designation). There is a limit of 512
 | 
						|
#      such entries, after which new entries will not be made.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If you use the + operator in the trust file, it may grow
 | 
						|
#      considerably over time.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      It is recommended that Privoxy be compiled with the
 | 
						|
#      --disable-force, --disable-toggle and --disable-editor
 | 
						|
#      options, if this feature is to be used.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Possible applications include limiting Internet access for
 | 
						|
#      children.

#  3. DEBUGGING
 | 
						|
#  =============
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  These options are mainly useful when tracing a problem. Note that
 | 
						|
#  you might also want to invoke Privoxy with the --no-daemon command
 | 
						|
#  line option when debugging.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  3.1. debug
 | 
						|
#  ===========
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Key values that determine what information gets logged.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Integer values
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0 (i.e.: only fatal errors (that cause Privoxy to exit) are
 | 
						|
#      logged)
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Default value is used (see above).
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The available debug levels are:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        debug     1 # Log the destination for each request Privoxy let through. See also debug 1024.
 | 
						|
#        debug     2 # show each connection status
 | 
						|
#        debug     4 # show I/O status
 | 
						|
#        debug     8 # show header parsing
 | 
						|
#        debug    16 # log all data written to the network
 | 
						|
#        debug    32 # debug force feature
 | 
						|
#        debug    64 # debug regular expression filters
 | 
						|
#        debug   128 # debug redirects
 | 
						|
#        debug   256 # debug GIF de-animation
 | 
						|
#        debug   512 # Common Log Format
 | 
						|
#        debug  1024 # Log the destination for requests Privoxy didn't let through, and the reason why.
 | 
						|
#        debug  2048 # CGI user interface
 | 
						|
#        debug  4096 # Startup banner and warnings.
 | 
						|
#        debug  8192 # Non-fatal errors
 | 
						|
#        debug 32768 # log all data read from the network
 | 
						|
#        debug 65536 # Log the applying actions
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      To select multiple debug levels, you can either add them or
 | 
						|
#      use multiple debug lines.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      A debug level of 1 is informative because it will show you
 | 
						|
#      each request as it happens. 1, 1024, 4096 and 8192 are
 | 
						|
#      recommended so that you will notice when things go wrong. The
 | 
						|
#      other levels are probably only of interest if you are hunting
 | 
						|
#      down a specific problem. They can produce a hell of an output
 | 
						|
#      (especially 16).
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If you are used to the more verbose settings, simply enable
 | 
						|
#      the debug lines below again.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If you want to use pure CLF (Common Log Format), you should
 | 
						|
#      set "debug 512" ONLY and not enable anything else.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy has a hard-coded limit for the length of log messages.
 | 
						|
#      If it's reached, messages are logged truncated and marked with
 | 
						|
#      "... [too long, truncated]".
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Please don't file any support requests without trying to
 | 
						|
#      reproduce the problem with increased debug level first. Once
 | 
						|
#      you read the log messages, you may even be able to solve the
 | 
						|
#      problem on your own.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#debug     1 # Log the destination for each request Privoxy let through. See also debug 1024.

#  3.2. single-threaded
 | 
						|
#  =====================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:

						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Whether to run only one server thread.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      1 or 0
 | 
						|
#
 |

#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Multi-threaded (or, where unavailable: forked) operation, i.e.
 | 
						|
#      the ability to serve multiple requests simultaneously.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      This option is only there for debugging purposes. It will
 | 
						|
#      drastically reduce performance.

 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  3.3. hostname
 | 
						|
#  ==============
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The hostname shown on the CGI pages.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Text
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Unset
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The hostname provided by the operating system is used.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      On some misconfigured systems resolving the hostname fails or
 | 
						|
#      takes too much time and slows Privoxy down. Setting a fixed
 | 
						|
#      hostname works around the problem.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      In other circumstances it might be desirable to show a
 | 
						|
#      hostname other than the one returned by the operating system.
 | 
						|
#      For example if the system has several different hostnames and
 | 
						|
#      you don't want to use the first one.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Note that Privoxy does not validate the specified hostname
 | 
						|
#      value.

 | 
						|
#  4. ACCESS CONTROL AND SECURITY
 | 
						|
#  ===============================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  This section of the config file controls the security-relevant
 | 
						|
#  aspects of Privoxy's configuration.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  4.1. listen-address
 | 
						|
#  ====================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The address and TCP port on which Privoxy will listen for
 | 
						|
#      client requests.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      [IP-Address]:Port
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      [Hostname]:Port
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      127.0.0.1:8118
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Bind to 127.0.0.1 (IPv4 localhost), port 8118. This is
 | 
						|
#      suitable and recommended for home users who run Privoxy on the
 | 
						|
#      same machine as their browser.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      You will need to configure your browser(s) to this proxy
 | 
						|
#      address and port.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If you already have another service running on port 8118, or
 | 
						|
#      if you want to serve requests from other machines (e.g. on
 | 
						|
#      your local network) as well, you will need to override the
 | 
						|
#      default.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      You can use this statement multiple times to make Privoxy
 | 
						|
#      listen on more ports or more IP addresses. Suitable if your
 | 
						|
#      operating system does not support sharing IPv6 and IPv4
 | 
						|
#      protocols on the same socket.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If a hostname is used instead of an IP address, Privoxy will
 | 
						|
#      try to resolve it to an IP address and if there are multiple,
 | 
						|
#      use the first one returned.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If the address for the hostname isn't already known on the
 | 
						|
#      system (for example because it's in /etc/hostname), this may
 | 
						|
#      result in DNS traffic.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If the specified address isn't available on the system, or if
 | 
						|
#      the hostname can't be resolved, Privoxy will fail to start.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      IPv6 addresses containing colons have to be quoted by
 | 
						|
#      brackets. They can only be used if Privoxy has been compiled
 | 
						|
#      with IPv6 support. If you aren't sure if your version supports
 | 
						|
#      it, have a look at http://config.privoxy.org/show-status.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Some operating systems will prefer IPv6 to IPv4 addresses even
 | 
						|
#      if the system has no IPv6 connectivity which is usually not
 | 
						|
#      expected by the user. Some even rely on DNS to resolve
 | 
						|
#      localhost which mean the "localhost" address used may not
 | 
						|
#      actually be local.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      It is therefore recommended to explicitly configure the
 | 
						|
#      intended IP address instead of relying on the operating
 | 
						|
#      system, unless there's a strong reason not to.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If you leave out the address, Privoxy will bind to all IPv4
 | 
						|
#      interfaces (addresses) on your machine and may become
 | 
						|
#      reachable from the Internet and/or the local network. Be aware
 | 
						|
#      that some GNU/Linux distributions modify that behaviour
 | 
						|
#      without updating the documentation. Check for non-standard
 | 
						|
#      patches if your Privoxy version behaves differently.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If you configure Privoxy to be reachable from the network,
 | 
						|
#      consider using access control lists (ACL's, see below), and/or
 | 
						|
#      a firewall.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If you open Privoxy to untrusted users, you will also want to
 | 
						|
#      make sure that the following actions are disabled:
 | 
						|
#      enable-edit-actions and enable-remote-toggle
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Example:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Suppose you are running Privoxy on a machine which has the
 | 
						|
#      address 192.168.0.1 on your local private network
 | 
						|
#      (192.168.0.0) and has another outside connection with a
 | 
						|
#      different address. You want it to serve requests from inside
 | 
						|
#      only:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        listen-address  192.168.0.1:8118
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Suppose you are running Privoxy on an IPv6-capable machine and
 | 
						|
#      you want it to listen on the IPv6 address of the loopback
 | 
						|
#      device:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        listen-address [::1]:8118
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
listen-address  127.0.0.1:8118
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  4.2. toggle
 | 
						|
#  ============
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Initial state of "toggle" status
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      1 or 0
 | 
						|
#
 |

#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Act as if toggled on
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If set to 0, Privoxy will start in "toggled off" mode, i.e.
 | 
						|
#      mostly behave like a normal, content-neutral proxy with both
 | 
						|
#      ad blocking and content filtering disabled. See

#  4.3. enable-remote-toggle
 | 
						|
#  ==========================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Whether or not the web-based toggle feature may be used
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:

#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      When toggled off, Privoxy mostly acts like a normal,
 | 
						|
#      content-neutral proxy, i.e. doesn't block ads or filter
 | 
						|
#      content.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Access to the toggle feature can not be controlled separately
 | 
						|
#      by "ACLs" or HTTP authentication, so that everybody who can
 | 
						|
#      access Privoxy (see "ACLs" and listen-address above) can
 | 
						|
#      toggle it for all users. So this option is not recommended for
 | 
						|
#      multi-user environments with untrusted users.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Note that malicious client side code (e.g Java) is also
 | 
						|
#      capable of using this option.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      As a lot of Privoxy users don't read documentation, this
 | 
						|
#      feature is disabled by default.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Note that you must have compiled Privoxy with support for this
 | 
						|
#      feature, otherwise this option has no effect.

#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      When toggled on, the client can change Privoxy's behaviour by

						|
#      setting special HTTP headers. Currently the only supported
 | 
						|
#      special header is "X-Filter: No", to disable filtering for the

#  4.6. enforce-blocks
 | 
						|
#  ====================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Whether the user is allowed to ignore blocks and can "go there
 | 
						|
#      anyway".
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 |

#      0 or 1
 |

						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|

 |

#      0
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Blocks are not enforced.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy is mainly used to block and filter requests as a
 | 
						|
#      service to the user, for example to block ads and other junk
 | 
						|
#      that clogs the pipes. Privoxy's configuration isn't perfect
 | 
						|
#      and sometimes innocent pages are blocked. In this situation it
 | 
						|
#      makes sense to allow the user to enforce the request and have
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy ignore the block.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      In the default configuration Privoxy's "Blocked" page contains
 | 
						|
#      a "go there anyway" link to adds a special string (the force
 | 
						|
#      prefix) to the request URL. If that link is used, Privoxy will
 | 
						|
#      detect the force prefix, remove it again and let the request
 | 
						|
#      pass.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Of course Privoxy can also be used to enforce a network
 | 
						|
#      policy. In that case the user obviously should not be able to
 | 
						|
#      bypass any blocks, and that's what the "enforce-blocks" option
 | 
						|
#      is for. If it's enabled, Privoxy hides the "go there anyway"
 | 
						|
#      link. If the user adds the force prefix by hand, it will not
 | 
						|
#      be accepted and the circumvention attempt is logged.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      enforce-blocks 1
 |

#
 | 
						|
enforce-blocks 0

#  4.7. ACLs: permit-access and deny-access
 | 
						|
#  =========================================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Who can access what.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      src_addr[:port][/src_masklen] [dst_addr[:port][/dst_masklen]]
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Where src_addr and dst_addr are IPv4 addresses in dotted
 | 
						|
#      decimal notation or valid DNS names, port is a port number,
 | 
						|
#      and src_masklen and dst_masklen are subnet masks in CIDR
 | 
						|
#      notation, i.e. integer values from 2 to 30 representing the
 | 
						|
#      length (in bits) of the network address. The masks and the
 | 
						|
#      whole destination part are optional.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If your system implements RFC 3493, then src_addr and dst_addr
 | 
						|
#      can be IPv6 addresses delimeted by brackets, port can be a
 | 
						|
#      number or a service name, and src_masklen and dst_masklen can
 | 
						|
#      be a number from 0 to 128.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Unset
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If no port is specified, any port will match. If no
 | 
						|
#      src_masklen or src_masklen is given, the complete IP address
 | 
						|
#      has to match (i.e. 32 bits for IPv4 and 128 bits for IPv6).
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Don't restrict access further than implied by listen-address
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Access controls are included at the request of ISPs and
 | 
						|
#      systems administrators, and are not usually needed by
 | 
						|
#      individual users. For a typical home user, it will normally
 | 
						|
#      suffice to ensure that Privoxy only listens on the localhost
 | 
						|
#      (127.0.0.1) or internal (home) network address by means of the
 | 
						|
#      listen-address option.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Please see the warnings in the FAQ that Privoxy is not
 | 
						|
#      intended to be a substitute for a firewall or to encourage
 | 
						|
#      anyone to defer addressing basic security weaknesses.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Multiple ACL lines are OK. If any ACLs are specified, Privoxy
 | 
						|
#      only talks to IP addresses that match at least one
 | 
						|
#      permit-access line and don't match any subsequent deny-access
 | 
						|
#      line. In other words, the last match wins, with the default
 | 
						|
#      being deny-access.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If Privoxy is using a forwarder (see forward below) for a
 | 
						|
#      particular destination URL, the dst_addr that is examined is
 | 
						|
#      the address of the forwarder and NOT the address of the
 | 
						|
#      ultimate target. This is necessary because it may be
 | 
						|
#      impossible for the local Privoxy to determine the IP address
 | 
						|
#      of the ultimate target (that's often what gateways are used
 | 
						|
#      for).
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      You should prefer using IP addresses over DNS names, because
 | 
						|
#      the address lookups take time. All DNS names must resolve! You
 | 
						|
#      can not use domain patterns like "*.org" or partial domain
 | 
						|
#      names. If a DNS name resolves to multiple IP addresses, only
 | 
						|
#      the first one is used.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Some systems allow IPv4 clients to connect to IPv6 server
 | 
						|
#      sockets. Then the client's IPv4 address will be translated by
 | 
						|
#      the system into IPv6 address space with special prefix
 | 
						|
#      ::ffff:0:0/96 (so called IPv4 mapped IPv6 address). Privoxy
 | 
						|
#      can handle it and maps such ACL addresses automatically.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Denying access to particular sites by ACL may have undesired
 | 
						|
#      side effects if the site in question is hosted on a machine
 | 
						|
#      which also hosts other sites (most sites are).
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Explicitly define the default behavior if no ACL and
 | 
						|
#      listen-address are set: "localhost" is OK. The absence of a
 | 
						|
#      dst_addr implies that all destination addresses are OK:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        permit-access  localhost
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Allow any host on the same class C subnet as www.privoxy.org
 | 
						|
#      access to nothing but www.example.com (or other domains hosted
 | 
						|
#      on the same system):
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        permit-access  www.privoxy.org/24 www.example.com/32
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Allow access from any host on the 26-bit subnet 192.168.45.64
 | 
						|
#      to anywhere, with the exception that 192.168.45.73 may not
 | 
						|
#      access the IP address behind www.dirty-stuff.example.com:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        permit-access  192.168.45.64/26
 | 
						|
#        deny-access    192.168.45.73    www.dirty-stuff.example.com
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Allow access from the IPv4 network 192.0.2.0/24 even if
 | 
						|
#      listening on an IPv6 wild card address (not supported on all
 | 
						|
#      platforms):
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        permit-access  192.0.2.0/24
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      This is equivalent to the following line even if listening on
 | 
						|
#      an IPv4 address (not supported on all platforms):
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        permit-access  [::ffff:192.0.2.0]/120

#  4.8. buffer-limit
 | 
						|
#  ==================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Maximum size of the buffer for content filtering.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Size in Kbytes
 | 
						|
#
 |

#  Default value:
 |

						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Use a 4MB (4096 KB) limit.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      For content filtering, i.e. the +filter and +deanimate-gif
 | 
						|
#      actions, it is necessary that Privoxy buffers the entire
 | 
						|
#      document body. This can be potentially dangerous, since a
 | 
						|
#      server could just keep sending data indefinitely and wait for
 | 
						|
#      your RAM to exhaust -- with nasty consequences. Hence this
 | 
						|
#      option.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      When a document buffer size reaches the buffer-limit, it is
 | 
						|
#      flushed to the client unfiltered and no further attempt to
 | 
						|
#      filter the rest of the document is made. Remember that there
 | 
						|
#      may be multiple threads running, which might require up to
 | 
						|
#      buffer-limit Kbytes each, unless you have enabled
 | 
						|
#      "single-threaded" above.

 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0 or 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#

						|
#      Proxy authentication headers are removed.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy itself does not support proxy authentication, but can
 | 
						|
#      allow clients to authenticate against Privoxy's parent proxy.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      By default Privoxy (3.0.21 and later) don't do that and remove
 | 
						|
#      Proxy-Authorization headers in requests and Proxy-Authenticate
 | 
						|
#      headers in responses to make it harder for malicious sites to
 | 
						|
#      trick inexperienced users into providing login information.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If this option is enabled the headers are forwarded.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Enabling this option is not recommended if there is no parent
 | 
						|
#      proxy that requires authentication or if the local network
 | 
						|
#      between Privoxy and the parent proxy isn't trustworthy. If
 | 
						|
#      proxy authentication is only required for some requests, it is

#  5. FORWARDING
 | 
						|
#  ==============
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  This feature allows routing of HTTP requests through a chain of
 | 
						|
#  multiple proxies.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Forwarding can be used to chain Privoxy with a caching proxy to
 | 
						|
#  speed up browsing. Using a parent proxy may also be necessary if
 | 
						|
#  the machine that Privoxy runs on has no direct Internet access.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Note that parent proxies can severely decrease your privacy level.
 | 
						|
#  For example a parent proxy could add your IP address to the
 | 
						|
#  request headers and if it's a caching proxy it may add the "Etag"
 | 
						|
#  header to revalidation requests again, even though you configured
 | 
						|
#  Privoxy to remove it. It may also ignore Privoxy's header time
 | 
						|
#  randomization and use the original values which could be used by
 | 
						|
#  the server as cookie replacement to track your steps between
 | 
						|
#  visits.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Also specified here are SOCKS proxies. Privoxy supports the SOCKS
 | 
						|
#  4 and SOCKS 4A protocols.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  5.1. forward
 | 
						|
#  =============
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      To which parent HTTP proxy specific requests should be routed.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      target_pattern http_parent[:port]
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      where target_pattern is a URL pattern that specifies to which
 | 
						|
#      requests (i.e. URLs) this forward rule shall apply. Use / to
 | 
						|
#      denote "all URLs". http_parent[:port] is the DNS name or IP
 | 
						|
#      address of the parent HTTP proxy through which the requests
 | 
						|
#      should be forwarded, optionally followed by its listening port
 | 
						|
#      (default: 8000). Use a single dot (.) to denote "no
 | 
						|
#      forwarding".
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Unset
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Don't use parent HTTP proxies.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If http_parent is ".", then requests are not forwarded to
 | 
						|
#      another HTTP proxy but are made directly to the web servers.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      http_parent can be a numerical IPv6 address (if RFC 3493 is
 | 
						|
#      implemented). To prevent clashes with the port delimiter, the
 | 
						|
#      whole IP address has to be put into brackets. On the other
 | 
						|
#      hand a target_pattern containing an IPv6 address has to be put
 | 
						|
#      into angle brackets (normal brackets are reserved for regular
 | 
						|
#      expressions already).
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Multiple lines are OK, they are checked in sequence, and the
 | 
						|
#      last match wins.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Everything goes to an example parent proxy, except SSL on port
 | 
						|
#      443 (which it doesn't handle):
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        forward   /      parent-proxy.example.org:8080
 | 
						|
#        forward   :443   .
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Everything goes to our example ISP's caching proxy, except for
 | 
						|
#      requests to that ISP's sites:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        forward   /                  caching-proxy.isp.example.net:8000
 | 
						|
#        forward   .isp.example.net   .
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Parent proxy specified by an IPv6 address:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        forward   /                   [2001:DB8::1]:8000
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Suppose your parent proxy doesn't support IPv6:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        forward  /                        parent-proxy.example.org:8000
 | 
						|
#        forward  ipv6-server.example.org  .
 | 
						|
#        forward  <[2-3][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f]:*>   .
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  5.2. forward-socks4, forward-socks4a, forward-socks5 and forward-socks5t
 | 
						|
#  =========================================================================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Through which SOCKS proxy (and optionally to which parent HTTP
 | 
						|
#      proxy) specific requests should be routed.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      target_pattern socks_proxy[:port] http_parent[:port]
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      where target_pattern is a URL pattern that specifies to which
 | 
						|
#      requests (i.e. URLs) this forward rule shall apply. Use / to
 | 
						|
#      denote "all URLs". http_parent and socks_proxy are IP
 | 
						|
#      addresses in dotted decimal notation or valid DNS names (
 | 
						|
#      http_parent may be "." to denote "no HTTP forwarding"), and
 | 
						|
#      the optional port parameters are TCP ports, i.e. integer
 | 
						|
#      values from 1 to 65535
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Unset
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Don't use SOCKS proxies.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Multiple lines are OK, they are checked in sequence, and the
 | 
						|
#      last match wins.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The difference between forward-socks4 and forward-socks4a is
 | 
						|
#      that in the SOCKS 4A protocol, the DNS resolution of the
 | 
						|
#      target hostname happens on the SOCKS server, while in SOCKS 4
 | 
						|
#      it happens locally.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      With forward-socks5 the DNS resolution will happen on the
 | 
						|
#      remote server as well.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      forward-socks5t works like vanilla forward-socks5 but lets
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy additionally use Tor-specific SOCKS extensions.
 | 
						|
#      Currently the only supported SOCKS extension is optimistic
 | 
						|
#      data which can reduce the latency for the first request made
 | 
						|
#      on a newly created connection.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      socks_proxy and http_parent can be a numerical IPv6 address
 | 
						|
#      (if RFC 3493 is implemented). To prevent clashes with the port
 | 
						|
#      delimiter, the whole IP address has to be put into brackets.
 | 
						|
#      On the other hand a target_pattern containing an IPv6 address
 | 
						|
#      has to be put into angle brackets (normal brackets are
 | 
						|
#      reserved for regular expressions already).
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If http_parent is ".", then requests are not forwarded to
 | 
						|
#      another HTTP proxy but are made (HTTP-wise) directly to the
 | 
						|
#      web servers, albeit through a SOCKS proxy.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      From the company example.com, direct connections are made to
 | 
						|
#      all "internal" domains, but everything outbound goes through
 | 
						|
#      their ISP's proxy by way of example.com's corporate SOCKS 4A
 | 
						|
#      gateway to the Internet.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        forward-socks4a   /              socks-gw.example.com:1080  www-cache.isp.example.net:8080
 | 
						|
#        forward           .example.com   .
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      A rule that uses a SOCKS 4 gateway for all destinations but no
 | 
						|
#      HTTP parent looks like this:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        forward-socks4   /               socks-gw.example.com:1080  .
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      To chain Privoxy and Tor, both running on the same system, you
 | 
						|
#      would use something like:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        forward-socks5t   /               127.0.0.1:9050 .
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Note that if you got Tor through one of the bundles, you may
 | 
						|
#      have to change the port from 9050 to 9150 (or even another
 | 
						|
#      one). For details, please check the documentation on the Tor
 | 
						|
#      website.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The public Tor network can't be used to reach your local
 | 
						|
#      network, if you need to access local servers you therefore
 | 
						|
#      might want to make some exceptions:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#        forward         192.168.*.*/     .
 | 
						|
#        forward            10.*.*.*/     .
 | 
						|
#        forward           127.*.*.*/     .
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Unencrypted connections to systems in these address ranges
 | 
						|
#      will be as (un)secure as the local network is, but the
 | 
						|
#      alternative is that you can't reach the local network through
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy at all. Of course this may actually be desired and
 | 
						|
#      there is no reason to make these exceptions if you aren't sure
 | 
						|
#      you need them.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If you also want to be able to reach servers in your local
 | 
						|
#      network by using their names, you will need additional
 | 
						|
#      exceptions that look like this:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#       forward           localhost/     .
 |

#  5.3. forwarded-connect-retries
 | 
						|
#  ===============================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      How often Privoxy retries if a forwarded connection request
 | 
						|
#      fails.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Number of retries.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Connections forwarded through other proxies are treated like
 | 
						|
#      direct connections and no retry attempts are made.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      forwarded-connect-retries is mainly interesting for socks4a
 | 
						|
#      connections, where Privoxy can't detect why the connections
 | 
						|
#      failed. The connection might have failed because of a DNS
 | 
						|
#      timeout in which case a retry makes sense, but it might also
 | 
						|
#      have failed because the server doesn't exist or isn't
 | 
						|
#      reachable. In this case the retry will just delay the
 | 
						|
#      appearance of Privoxy's error message.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Note that in the context of this option, "forwarded
 | 
						|
#      connections" includes all connections that Privoxy forwards
 | 
						|
#      through other proxies. This option is not limited to the HTTP
 | 
						|
#      CONNECT method.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Only use this option, if you are getting lots of
 | 
						|
#      forwarding-related error messages that go away when you try
 | 
						|
#      again manually. Start with a small value and check Privoxy's
 | 
						|
#      logfile from time to time, to see how many retries are usually
 | 
						|
#      needed.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      forwarded-connect-retries 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
forwarded-connect-retries  0

#
 | 
						|
#  6.1. accept-intercepted-requests
 | 
						|
#  =================================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Whether intercepted requests should be treated as valid.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0 or 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Only proxy requests are accepted, intercepted requests are
 | 
						|
#      treated as invalid.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If you don't trust your clients and want to force them to use
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy, enable this option and configure your packet filter
 | 
						|
#      to redirect outgoing HTTP connections into Privoxy.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Note that intercepting encrypted connections (HTTPS) isn't
 | 
						|
#      supported.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Make sure that Privoxy's own requests aren't redirected as
 | 
						|
#      well. Additionally take care that Privoxy can't intentionally
 | 
						|
#      connect to itself, otherwise you could run into redirection
 | 
						|
#      loops if Privoxy's listening port is reachable by the outside
 | 
						|
#      or an attacker has access to the pages you visit.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      accept-intercepted-requests 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
accept-intercepted-requests 0
 |

#
 | 
						|
#  6.2. allow-cgi-request-crunching
 | 
						|
#  =================================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Whether requests to Privoxy's CGI pages can be blocked or
 | 
						|
#      redirected.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0 or 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy ignores block and redirect actions for its CGI pages.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      By default Privoxy ignores block or redirect actions for its
 | 
						|
#      CGI pages. Intercepting these requests can be useful in
 | 
						|
#      multi-user setups to implement fine-grained access control,
 | 
						|
#      but it can also render the complete web interface useless and
 | 
						|
#      make debugging problems painful if done without care.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Don't enable this option unless you're sure that you really
 | 
						|
#      need it.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      allow-cgi-request-crunching 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
allow-cgi-request-crunching 0

#
 | 
						|
#  6.3. split-large-forms
 | 
						|
#  =======================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Whether the CGI interface should stay compatible with broken
 | 
						|
#      HTTP clients.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0 or 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The CGI form generate long GET URLs.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy's CGI forms can lead to rather long URLs. This isn't a
 | 
						|
#      problem as far as the HTTP standard is concerned, but it can
 | 
						|
#      confuse clients with arbitrary URL length limitations.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Enabling split-large-forms causes Privoxy to divide big forms
 | 
						|
#      into smaller ones to keep the URL length down. It makes
 | 
						|
#      editing a lot less convenient and you can no longer submit all
 | 
						|
#      changes at once, but at least it works around this browser
 | 
						|
#      bug.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If you don't notice any editing problems, there is no reason
 | 
						|
#      to enable this option, but if one of the submit buttons
 | 
						|
#      appears to be broken, you should give it a try.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      split-large-forms 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
split-large-forms 0
 |

#
 | 
						|
#  6.4. keep-alive-timeout
 | 
						|
#  ========================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Number of seconds after which an open connection will no
 | 
						|
#      longer be reused.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Time in seconds.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      None
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Connections are not kept alive.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      This option allows clients to keep the connection to Privoxy
 | 
						|
#      alive. If the server supports it, Privoxy will keep the
 | 
						|
#      connection to the server alive as well. Under certain
 | 
						|
#      circumstances this may result in speed-ups.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      By default, Privoxy will close the connection to the server if
 | 
						|
#      the client connection gets closed, or if the specified timeout
 | 
						|
#      has been reached without a new request coming in. This
 | 
						|
#      behaviour can be changed with the connection-sharing option.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      This option has no effect if Privoxy has been compiled without
 | 
						|
#      keep-alive support.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Note that a timeout of five seconds as used in the default
 | 
						|
#      configuration file significantly decreases the number of
 | 
						|
#      connections that will be reused. The value is used because
 | 
						|
#      some browsers limit the number of connections they open to a
 | 
						|
#      single host and apply the same limit to proxies. This can
 | 
						|
#      result in a single website "grabbing" all the connections the
 | 
						|
#      browser allows, which means connections to other websites
 | 
						|
#      can't be opened until the connections currently in use time
 | 
						|
#      out.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Several users have reported this as a Privoxy bug, so the
 | 
						|
#      default value has been reduced. Consider increasing it to 300
 | 
						|
#      seconds or even more if you think your browser can handle it.
 | 
						|
#      If your browser appears to be hanging, it probably can't.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      keep-alive-timeout 300
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
keep-alive-timeout 5
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  6.5. tolerate-pipelining
 | 
						|
#  =========================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Whether or not pipelined requests should be served.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0 or 1.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      None
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If Privoxy receives more than one request at once, it
 | 
						|
#      terminates the client connection after serving the first one.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy currently doesn't pipeline outgoing requests, thus
 | 
						|
#      allowing pipelining on the client connection is not guaranteed
 | 
						|
#      to improve the performance.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      By default Privoxy tries to discourage clients from pipelining
 | 
						|
#      by discarding aggressively pipelined requests, which forces
 | 
						|
#      the client to resend them through a new connection.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      This option lets Privoxy tolerate pipelining. Whether or not
 | 
						|
#      that improves performance mainly depends on the client
 | 
						|
#      configuration.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If you are seeing problems with pages not properly loading,
 | 
						|
#      disabling this option could work around the problem.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      tolerate-pipelining 1
 |

#
 |

tolerate-pipelining 1

#  6.6. default-server-timeout
 | 
						|
#  ============================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:

#      server.
 |

						|
#
 | 
						|
#      None
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Connections for which the server didn't specify the keep-alive
 | 
						|
#      timeout are not reused.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Enabling this option significantly increases the number of
 | 
						|
#      connections that are reused, provided the keep-alive-timeout
 | 
						|
#      option is also enabled.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      While it also increases the number of connections problems
 | 
						|
#      when Privoxy tries to reuse a connection that already has been
 | 
						|
#      closed on the server side, or is closed while Privoxy is
 | 
						|
#      trying to reuse it, this should only be a problem if it
 | 
						|
#      happens for the first request sent by the client. If it
 | 
						|
#      happens for requests on reused client connections, Privoxy
 | 
						|
#      will simply close the connection and the client is supposed to
 | 
						|
#      retry the request without bothering the user.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Enabling this option is therefore only recommended if the
 | 
						|
#      connection-sharing option is disabled.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      It is an error to specify a value larger than the
 | 
						|
#      keep-alive-timeout value.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      This option has no effect if Privoxy has been compiled without
 | 
						|
#      keep-alive support.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      default-server-timeout 60
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#default-server-timeout 60
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  6.7. connection-sharing
 | 
						|
#  ========================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Whether or not outgoing connections that have been kept alive
 | 
						|
#      should be shared between different incoming connections.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0 or 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      None
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Connections are not shared.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      This option has no effect if Privoxy has been compiled without
 | 
						|
#      keep-alive support, or if it's disabled.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Note that reusing connections doesn't necessary cause
 | 
						|
#      speedups. There are also a few privacy implications you should
 | 
						|
#      be aware of.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If this option is effective, outgoing connections are shared
 | 
						|
#      between clients (if there are more than one) and closing the
 | 
						|
#      browser that initiated the outgoing connection does no longer
 | 
						|
#      affect the connection between Privoxy and the server unless
 | 
						|
#      the client's request hasn't been completed yet.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If the outgoing connection is idle, it will not be closed
 | 
						|
#      until either Privoxy's or the server's timeout is reached.
 | 
						|
#      While it's open, the server knows that the system running
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy is still there.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If there are more than one client (maybe even belonging to
 | 
						|
#      multiple users), they will be able to reuse each others
 | 
						|
#      connections. This is potentially dangerous in case of
 | 
						|
#      authentication schemes like NTLM where only the connection is
 | 
						|
#      authenticated, instead of requiring authentication for each
 | 
						|
#      request.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If there is only a single client, and if said client can keep
 | 
						|
#      connections alive on its own, enabling this option has next to
 | 
						|
#      no effect. If the client doesn't support connection
 | 
						|
#      keep-alive, enabling this option may make sense as it allows
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy to keep outgoing connections alive even if the client
 | 
						|
#      itself doesn't support it.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      You should also be aware that enabling this option increases
 | 
						|
#      the likelihood of getting the "No server or forwarder data"
 | 
						|
#      error message, especially if you are using a slow connection
 | 
						|
#      to the Internet.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      This option should only be used by experienced users who
 | 
						|
#      understand the risks and can weight them against the benefits.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      connection-sharing 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#connection-sharing 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  6.8. socket-timeout
 | 
						|
#  ====================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Number of seconds after which a socket times out if no data is
 | 
						|
#      received.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Time in seconds.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      None
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      A default value of 300 seconds is used.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The default is quite high and you probably want to reduce it.
 | 
						|
#      If you aren't using an occasionally slow proxy like Tor,
 | 
						|
#      reducing it to a few seconds should be fine.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      socket-timeout 300
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
socket-timeout 300
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  6.9. max-client-connections
 | 
						|
#  ============================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Maximum number of client connections that will be served.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Positive number.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      128
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Connections are served until a resource limit is reached.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy creates one thread (or process) for every incoming
 | 
						|
#      client connection that isn't rejected based on the access
 | 
						|
#      control settings.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If the system is powerful enough, Privoxy can theoretically
 | 
						|
#      deal with several hundred (or thousand) connections at the
 | 
						|
#      same time, but some operating systems enforce resource limits
 | 
						|
#      by shutting down offending processes and their default limits
 | 
						|
#      may be below the ones Privoxy would require under heavy load.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Configuring Privoxy to enforce a connection limit below the
 | 
						|
#      thread or process limit used by the operating system makes
 | 
						|
#      sure this doesn't happen. Simply increasing the operating
 | 
						|
#      system's limit would work too, but if Privoxy isn't the only
 | 
						|
#      application running on the system, you may actually want to
 | 
						|
#      limit the resources used by Privoxy.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If Privoxy is only used by a single trusted user, limiting the
 | 
						|
#      number of client connections is probably unnecessary. If there
 | 
						|
#      are multiple possibly untrusted users you probably still want
 | 
						|
#      to additionally use a packet filter to limit the maximal
 | 
						|
#      number of incoming connections per client. Otherwise a
 | 
						|
#      malicious user could intentionally create a high number of
 | 
						|
#      connections to prevent other users from using Privoxy.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Obviously using this option only makes sense if you choose a
 | 
						|
#      limit below the one enforced by the operating system.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      One most POSIX-compliant systems Privoxy can't properly deal
 | 
						|
#      with more than FD_SETSIZE file descriptors at the same time
 | 
						|
#      and has to reject connections if the limit is reached. This
 | 
						|
#      will likely change in a future version, but currently this
 | 
						|
#      limit can't be increased without recompiling Privoxy with a
 | 
						|
#      different FD_SETSIZE limit.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      max-client-connections 256
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#max-client-connections 256

						|
#  6.10. handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok
 | 
						|
#  =====================================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The status code Privoxy returns for pages blocked with
 | 
						|
#      +handle-as-empty-document.

#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0 or 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy returns a status 403(forbidden) for all blocked pages.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if set:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy returns a status 200(OK) for pages blocked with
 | 
						|
#      +handle-as-empty-document and a status 403(Forbidden) for all
 | 
						|
#      other blocked pages.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      This directive was added as a work-around for Firefox bug
 | 
						|
#      492459: "Websites are no longer rendered if SSL requests for
 | 
						|
#      JavaScripts are blocked by a proxy."
 | 
						|
#      (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492459), the bug
 | 
						|
#      has been fixed for quite some time, but this directive is also
 | 
						|
#      useful to make it harder for websites to detect whether or not
 | 
						|
#      resources are being blocked.

						|
#  6.11. enable-compression
 | 
						|
#  =========================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Whether or not buffered content is compressed before delivery.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0 or 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      0
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if unset:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy does not compress buffered content.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Effect if set:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy compresses buffered content before delivering it to
 | 
						|
#      the client, provided the client supports it.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      This directive is only supported if Privoxy has been compiled
 | 
						|
#      with FEATURE_COMPRESSION, which should not to be confused with
 | 
						|
#      FEATURE_ZLIB.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Compressing buffered content is mainly useful if Privoxy and
 | 
						|
#      the client are running on different systems. If they are
 | 
						|
#      running on the same system, enabling compression is likely to
 | 
						|
#      slow things down. If you didn't measure otherwise, you should
 | 
						|
#      assume that it does and keep this option disabled.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Privoxy will not compress buffered content below a certain
 | 
						|
#      length.

#enable-compression 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  6.12. compression-level
 | 
						|
#  ========================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The compression level that is passed to the zlib library when
 | 
						|
#      compressing buffered content.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Positive number ranging from 0 to 9.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Compressing the data more takes usually longer than
 | 
						|
#      compressing it less or not compressing it at all. Which level
 | 
						|
#      is best depends on the connection between Privoxy and the
 | 
						|
#      client. If you can't be bothered to benchmark it for yourself,
 | 
						|
#      you should stick with the default and keep compression
 | 
						|
#      disabled.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      If compression is disabled, the compression level is
 | 
						|
#      irrelevant.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Examples:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#          # Best speed (compared to the other levels)
 | 
						|
#          compression-level 1

#
 | 
						|
#          # Best compression
 | 
						|
#          compression-level 9
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#          # No compression. Only useful for testing as the added header
 | 
						|
#          # slightly increases the amount of data that has to be sent.
 | 
						|
#          # If your benchmark shows that using this compression level
 | 
						|
#          # is superior to using no compression at all, the benchmark
 | 
						|
#          # is likely to be flawed.

#
 | 
						|
#  6.13. client-header-order
 | 
						|
#  ==========================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Specifies:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The order in which client headers are sorted before forwarding
 | 
						|
#      them.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Type of value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Client header names delimited by spaces or tabs
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Default value:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      None
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Notes:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      By default Privoxy leaves the client headers in the order they
 | 
						|
#      were sent by the client. Headers are modified in-place, new
 | 
						|
#      headers are added at the end of the already existing headers.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      The header order can be used to fingerprint client requests
 | 
						|
#      independently of other headers like the User-Agent.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      This directive allows to sort the headers differently to
 | 
						|
#      better mimic a different User-Agent. Client headers will be
 | 
						|
#      emitted in the order given, headers whose name isn't
 | 
						|
#      explicitly specified are added at the end.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#      Note that sorting headers in an uncommon way will make
 | 
						|
#      fingerprinting actually easier. Encrypted headers are not
 | 
						|
#      affected by this directive.

#  7. WINDOWS GUI OPTIONS
 | 
						|
#  =======================
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Privoxy has a number of options specific to the Windows GUI
 | 
						|
#  interface:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  If "activity-animation" is set to 1, the Privoxy icon will animate
 | 
						|
#  when "Privoxy" is active. To turn off, set to 0.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#activity-animation   1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  If "log-messages" is set to 1, Privoxy copies log messages to the
 | 
						|
#  console window. The log detail depends on the debug directive.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#log-messages   1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  If "log-buffer-size" is set to 1, the size of the log buffer, i.e.
 | 
						|
#  the amount of memory used for the log messages displayed in the
 | 
						|
#  console window, will be limited to "log-max-lines" (see below).
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Warning: Setting this to 0 will result in the buffer to grow
 | 
						|
#  infinitely and eat up all your memory!
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#log-buffer-size 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  log-max-lines is the maximum number of lines held in the log
 | 
						|
#  buffer. See above.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#log-max-lines 200
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  If "log-highlight-messages" is set to 1, Privoxy will highlight
 | 
						|
#  portions of the log messages with a bold-faced font:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#log-highlight-messages 1
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  The font used in the console window:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#log-font-name Comic Sans MS
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  Font size used in the console window:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#log-font-size 8
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  "show-on-task-bar" controls whether or not Privoxy will appear as
 | 
						|
#  a button on the Task bar when minimized:
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#show-on-task-bar 0
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
#  If "close-button-minimizes" is set to 1, the Windows close button
