What do people know about Privoxy? Does it work with all internet browsers? --Anon <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:210.50.81.30|210.50.81.30]] ([[User talk:210.50.81.30#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/210.50.81.30|contribs]]) 13:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)</small>
 
:It works with any browser that supports forwarding to a non-transparent http or https proxies while also maintaining the ability to forward requests to a SOCKS proxy, commonly Tor; so basically all of them. [[User:Icey|Icey]] 22:42, 7 May 2006 (UTC) - Cleaned up and clarified by [[User:Peter.thoenen|Peter.thoenen]] ([[User talk:Peter.thoenen|talk]]) 10:26, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
:It should work with all sane, decent browsers. --[[User:Marudubshinki |maru]] [[User talk:Marudubshinki|(talk)]] [[Special:Contributions/Marudubshinki |contribs]] 02:15, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
::It works with any browser that supports proxy's, which is pretty much all of them. [[User:Icey|Icey]] 22:42, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 
== Screenshot ==
 
Is [[:Image:Privoxy_Win32.jpg|this screenshot]] (of the WinXP commandline showing it logging requests) appropriate? It doesn't really demonstrate how Privoxy works or what it feels like. Maybe a screenshot of the Web-based user interface (available at http://config.privoxy.org/ on a computer running Privoxy) would be more appropriate? --[[User:Alex Cohn|Alex Cohn]] 19:15, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 
I agree. It seems out of context and not terribly appropriate. [[User:Elkrunkeroso|Elkrunkeroso]] 21:16, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 
:I just installed and that's just what it looks like. Namely, crap. [[User:Fatalis|Fatalis]] 13:54, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 
I use this screen frequently because I find the log output of Privoxy shows all the sites loaded by everything except a few very few security-exempted java applications. Notably, it shows everything used by AJAX that [[adblock]] fails to show when its page listing is clicked, allowing me to copy and paste snippets, add some regexp and paste into adblock for a more effective adblock user experience.
 
Basically, the irony is this: Privoxy is the simplest, best maintained open source logging proxy that I can easily switch on and off to spy on my own web usage. [[User:70.162.81.229|70.162.81.229]] 18:48, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 
==Irony==
Can Privoxy be used to circumvent the GFW without the use of Tor? If not, isn't it ironic that WP autoblocks any editor using Tor. It is a technology that could allow WP to be accessed by over a billion potential users. [[User:Edivorce|Edivorce]] 13:54, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
:You know what else is ironic? I'm writing this answer using Tor. [[User:Fatalis|Fatalis]] 13:14, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 
 
Come on take it easy on the acronyms [[User:71.112.30.41|71.112.30.41]] 05:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 
:: Have re-writtent the article's entry on this subject; should anyone wish to re-insert particular relevance to China's censorship in the form of the [[Great Firewall|GFW]], please do: just make it scan please ;) _> [[User:MonstaPro|MonstaPro]]:<sup>[[User_talk:MonstaPro|Talk]]:[[Special:Contributions/MonstaPro|Contrib.]]</sup> 20:30, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 
==bad link==
the link listed as the official site is dead. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:68.43.215.81|68.43.215.81]] ([[User talk:68.43.215.81|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/68.43.215.81|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
:This is true. Anyone know what's up? Made a brief check on the Sourceforge page ([http://sf.net/projects/ijbswa]), but didn't see anything. &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:SheeEttin|SheeEttin]]&nbsp;{[[User_talk:SheeEttin|T]]/[[Special:Contributions/SheeEttin|C]]} 22:43, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

:Sorry about that, we had trouble with the DNS hosting expiring. [http://www.zoneedit.com/ ZoneEdit] were kind enough to restore the service (despite an unpaid bill) as the registrant of privoxy.org seems to have temporarily disappeared :-) [http://sourceforge.net/users/proactivesvcs/ Adam Piggott, developer] 15:06, 7th March 2007 (UTC)
The official site [http://www.privoxy.org/ www.privoxy.org] is back. --[[User:83.112.27.207|83.112.27.207]] 13:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
:: It's gone again as of November 2, 2007. I was going to use it as a source in an anti-forensics paper I'm writing too, lol. Oh well. [[User:Cobalt2020|Cobalt2020]] 21:50, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Looks like someone forgot to pay the bill again. The domain goes to a link farm site. [[User:Robomojo|Robomojo]] ([[User talk:Robomojo|talk]]) 21:14, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 
==neilvandyke rule set==
Why is a citation needed? One can just run a grep and wc on the actions file. --[[User:170.223.123.21|170.223.123.21]] 19:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 
== Logo/image request ==
 
I don't know if there was previously a logo or a screenshot, but it feels most appropriate to add a logo in the infobox. I cannot find an appropriate picture from Privoxy's site to associate with this article. I understand that Google Images is the last place to look for images, but is there any appropriate image? Thanks for searching for an image in advance. --[[User:Longbyte1|Longbyte1]] ([[User talk:Longbyte1|talk]]) 15:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC) EDIT: Watch out when looking in Google Images, I found a misleading site! --[[User:Longbyte1|Longbyte1]] ([[User talk:Longbyte1|talk]]) 15:12, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 
: Used to be, has been lost over the years. A new one needs to be created and added, I may or may not do this [[User:Peter.thoenen|Peter.thoenen]] ([[User talk:Peter.thoenen|talk]]) 10:26, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
