  • I've recently discovered Privoxy. I managed to download (v3.0.34), build, and install (via some assistance from the mailing list) it in a LXC container. Works well. I even managed to get HTTPS Inspection working - yay. However, 2 days ago I tried accessing the documentation but it appears the whole domain has vanished - even the mailing list no longer comes up! Could have been a 5 star rating otherwise.
  • best local proxy for enhance security when browsing website
  • Used for url based routing, wonderful software.
  • I use privoxy since more than 10 years on my Macs and for all portable devices (via WiFi and Proxyserver) - it works great and with the https-feature its ready for the latest needs. It is small, fast, reliable and the CPU-usage is very small. Just great. A big thank you for developing, maintaining and upgrading the program. At the moment, there is only one thing I miss: an easy to activate EU-cookie-no-feature

  • perfect!
  • I need help. I used to love Privoxy, then I upgraded to OSX 10.9.4, lost it, and tried to re-install. Every time I try to install, the installation fails, but I don't know how to get hold of anyone (and I've tried- I'd donate money if I could find someone to tell me why this program won't install) 4.5 for the program .5 for the service.
  • Nice proxy, just lacking HTTPS filtering IMO. Though it can be done with stunnel according to its author but you'll never get a reply how to do...
  • Very nice software, hope Fabian will release a new version with HTTPS filtering ability support soon :)
  • All I want to know is how to uninstall.. been trying for several days but it just reinstalls itself like a virus.
  • I've started customizing my own blacklist, and whitelist. I am hoping to help out with this project.

  • he best site I have seen!!
  • Wow! I followed the simple, clear, easy to follow installation instructions and it worked immediately in OS X 10.6.8 with SeaMonkey's browser. I still have to figure out how to access my browsing history, but I expect I'll find that in the manual. This is a great app!
  • Very useful! Thanks.
