#882 ZoneEdit and www.privoxy.org redirect???
What is going on w/ the www.privoxy.org url?
When I click on the documentation link in the Privoxy menu below:
This is Privoxy 3.0.3 on localhost (127.0.0.1), port 8118, enabled
Privoxy Menu:
* View & change the current configuration
* View the source code version numbers
* View the request headers.
* Look up which actions apply to a URL and why
* Toggle Privoxy on or off
* Documentation
I get directed to: http://www.privoxy.org/3.0.3/user-manual/, which comes up:
http://www.privoxy.org/3.0.3/user-manual/, which is
ZoneEdit DNS services for this domain have expired.
To reactivate service for PRIVOXY.ORG/3.0.3/USER-MANUAL/, log into your account and add credits.
Thank you for using ZoneEdit
Which generates all kinds of popups and other BS. What happened?

The person who been paying for, and controls, the privoxy name and dns, is not to be found and the above service has expired. I can't say why or how, since I don't really know any mor than that.

I've got in touch Andreas again, he's not around at the moment though.

The DNS ISP made a mistake which is now rectified. It can take up to 48 hours for the changes to take effect - if anyone is still seeing problems after 23rd March 2007 please let us know here.
On a related note Andreas has confirmed he has set the domain to automatically renew, and will be looking into alternative hosting when he can.

It's March 25, 2007, and it looks like a squatter has privoxy.org, although whois reports this:

I don't think Andreas (a developer) would appreciate being called a squatter :-)
I've got in touch with him again, maybe he switched hosts and forgot to press a button.

Looks like it's solved (for now).
