Is there any way to keep the port 8118.
I have sniffed out a http session using
ethereal and noticed that the proxy changes the port
back to 80.
Thanks
Just an additional note on my issue. Reason I want the
session to stay with port 8118 is because I am implementing
a local firewall block port 80. Reason for the fire wall is
because some users install firefox and bypass this proxy.
Perhaps someone has some alternative ideas. Thanks

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The port setting is kept in a static configuration file.
There is nothing within Privoxy that could change this by
itself. I'd suggest seeing if some other process is
overwriting this file which might account for this.

I you can convince the rest of the web to start listening to you on 8118, then
by all means it can be done. Otherwise HTTP conversations occur on port
80.
If you want total control of internet access, you need a dedicated proxy
server (another pc).

Privoxy has never had a port 80 configuration. At one time
it was 8000, before the default was changed to 8118.
Something else is doing this.

By default web Servers listen on port 80. Ad blocking
proxies do not have to, nor should they. There is a big
difference.
