- #
- # I. INTRODUCTION
- # ===============
- #
- # This file holds the Privoxy configuration. If you modify this file,
- # you will need to send a couple of requests to the proxy before any
- # changes take effect.
- #
- # When starting Privoxy on Unix systems, give the name of this file as
- # an argument. On Windows systems, Privoxy will look for this file
- # with the name 'config.txt' in the same directory where Privoxy
- # is installed.
- #
- #
- # 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.
- #
- # Note that commenting out and option and leaving it at its default
- # are two completely different things! Most options behave very
- # differently when unset. See the 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. 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.
- #
- #
- # 1.1. 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
- #
- # When development goes modular and multi-user, the blocker,
- # filter, and per-user config will be stored in subdirectories of
- # "confdir". For now, the configuration directory structure is
- # flat, except for confdir/templates, where the HTML templates
- # for CGI output reside (e.g. Privoxy's 404 error page).
- #
- confdir .
- #
- # 1.2. logdir
- # ===========
- #
- # Specifies:
- #
- # The directory where all logging takes place (i.e. where logfile
- # and jarfile are 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 .
- #
- # 1.3. actionsfile
- # ================
- #
- # Specifies:
- #
- # The actions file(s) to use
- #
- # Type of value:
- #
- # File name, relative to confdir, without the .action suffix
- #
- # Default values:
- #
- # standard # Internal purposes, no editing recommended
- #
- # default # Main actions file
- #
- # user # User customizations
- #
- # Effect if unset:
- #
- # No actions are taken at all. Simple neutral proxying.
- #
- # Notes:
- #
- # Multiple actionsfile lines are permitted, and are in fact
- # recommended!
- #
- # The default values include standard.action, which is used
- # for internal purposes and should be loaded, default.action,
- # which is the "main" actions file maintained by the developers,
- # and user.action, where you can make your personal additions.
- #
- # Actions files are where all the per site and per URL
- # configuration is done for ad blocking, cookie management,
- # privacy considerations, etc. There is no point in using Privoxy
- # without at least one actions file.
- #
- actionsfile standard # Internal purpose, recommended
- actionsfile default # Main actions file
- actionsfile user # User customizations
- #
- # 1.4. filterfile
- # ===============
- #
- # Specifies:
- #
- # The filter file 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:
- #
- # The filter file contains content modification rules that use
- # regular expressions. These rules permit powerful changes on the
- # content of Web pages, e.g., you could disable your favorite
- # JavaScript annoyances, re-write the actual displayed text,
- # or just have some fun replacing "Microsoft" with "MicroSuck"
- # wherever it appears on a Web page.
- #
- # The +filter{name} actions rely on the relevant filter (name)
- # to be defined in the filter file!
- #
- # A pre-defined filter file called default.filter that contains
- # a bunch of handy filters for common problems is included in the
- # distribution. See the section on the filter action for a list.
- #
- filterfile default.filter
- #
- # 1.5. logfile
- # ============
- #
- # Specifies:
- #
- # The log file to use
- #
- # Type of value:
- #
- # File name, relative to logdir
- #
- # Default value:
- #
- # logfile (Unix) or privoxy.log (Windows)
- #
- # Effect if unset:
- #
- # No log file is used, all log messages go to the console (STDERR).
- #
- # Notes:
- #
- # The windows version will additionally log to the console.
- #
- # 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) but in most cases you probably
- # will never look at it.
- #
- # Your logfile will grow indefinitely, and you will probably
- # want to periodically remove it. On Unix systems, you can do
- # this with a cron job (see "man cron"). For Red Hat, a logrotate
- # script has been included.
- #
- # On SuSE Linux systems, you can place a line like
- # "/var/log/privoxy.* +1024k 644 nobody.nogroup" in /etc/logfiles,
- # with the effect that cron.daily will automatically archive,
- # gzip, and empty the log, when it exceeds 1M size.
- #
- # Any log files must be writable by whatever user Privoxy is
- # being run as (default on UNIX, user id is "privoxy").
- #
- #logfile logfile
- #
- # 1.6. jarfile
- # ============
- #
- # Specifies:
- #
- # The file to store intercepted cookies in
- #
- # Type of value:
- #
- # File name, relative to logdir
- #
- # Default value:
- #
- # jarfile (Unix) or privoxy.jar (Windows)
- #
- # Effect if unset:
- #
- # Intercepted cookies are not stored at all.
- #
- # Notes:
- #
- # The jarfile may grow to ridiculous sizes over time.
- #
- #jarfile jarfile
- #
- # 1.7. trustfile
- # ==============
- #
- # Specifies:
- #
- # 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 turned off.
- #
- # 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.
- #
- # 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. 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).
- #
- # 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.
- #
- #trustfile trust
- #
- # 2. 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.
- #
- #
- # 2.1. 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 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. For multi-user setups, you could
- # provide a copy on a local webserver for all your users and use
- # the corresponding URL here.
- #
- # Examples:
- #
- # Unix, in local filesystem:
- #
- # user-manual file:///usr/share/doc/privoxy-3.0.1/user-manual/index.html
- #
- # Windows, in local filesystem, must use forward slash notation,
- # and %20 to denote spaces in path names:
- #
- # user-manual file:///c:/some%20dir/privoxy/user-manual/index.html
- #
- # Windows, UNC notation (forward slashes required again):
- #
- # user-manual file://///some-server/some-path/privoxy/user-manual/index.html
- #
- # Any platform, on local webserver (called "local-webserver"):
- #
- # user-manual http://local-webserver/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 http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/
- #
- # 2.2. 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:
- #
- # Two example URL are provided
- #
- # 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 above.)
- #
- # 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!
- #
- trust-info-url http://www.example.com/why_we_block.html
- trust-info-url http://www.example.com/what_we_allow.html
- #
- # 2.3. admin-address
- # ==================
- #
- # Specifies:
- #
- # An email address to reach the proxy 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
- #
- # 2.4. 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
- #
- # 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 to
- # the logfile.
- #
- # Type of value:
- #
- # Integer values
- #
- # Default value:
- #
- # 12289 (i.e.: URLs plus informational and warning messages)
- #
- # Effect if unset:
- #
- # Nothing gets logged.
- #
- # Notes:
- #
- # The available debug levels are:
- #
- # debug 1 # show each GET/POST/CONNECT request
- # debug 2 # show each connection status
- # debug 4 # show I/O status
- # debug 8 # show header parsing
- # debug 16 # log all data into the logfile
- # debug 32 # debug force feature
- # debug 64 # debug regular expression filter
- # debug 128 # debug fast redirects
- # debug 256 # debug GIF de-animation
- # debug 512 # Common Log Format
- # debug 1024 # debug kill pop-ups
- # debug 2048 # CGI user interface
- # debug 4096 # Startup banner and warnings.
- # debug 8192 # Non-fatal errors
- #
- # 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, 4096 and 8192 are highly 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).
- #
- # The reporting of fatal errors (i.e. ones which crash Privoxy)
- # is always on and cannot be disabled.
- #
- # If you want to use CLF (Common Log Format), you should set
- # "debug 512" ONLY and not enable anything else.
- #
- #debug 1 # show each GET/POST/CONNECT request
- debug 4096 # Startup banner and warnings
- debug 8192 # Errors - *we highly recommended enabling this*
- #
- # 3.2. single-threaded
- # ====================
- #
- # Specifies:
- #
- # Whether to run only one server thread
- #
- # Type of value:
- #
- # None
- #
- # Default value:
- #
- # Unset
- #
- # 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 debug purposes and you should
- # never need to use it. It will drastically reduce performance.
- #
- #single-threaded
- #
- # 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 IP address and TCP port on which Privoxy will listen for
- # client requests.
- #
- # Type of value:
- #
- # [IP-Address]:Port
- #
- # Default value:
- #
- # 127.0.0.1:8118
- #
- # Effect if unset:
- #
- # Bind to 127.0.0.1 (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.
- #
- # If you leave out the IP address, Privoxy will bind to all
- # interfaces (addresses) on your machine and may become reachable
- # from the Internet. In that case, 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 turn off the enable-edit-actions and enable-remote-toggle
- # options!
- #
- # 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
- #
- 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. behave like a normal, content-neutral proxy where all ad
- # blocking, filtering, etc are disabled. See enable-remote-toggle
- # below. This is not really useful anymore, since toggling is
- # much easier via the web interface than via editing the conf file.
- #
- # The windows version will only display the toggle icon in the
- # system tray if this option is present.
- #
- toggle 1
- #
- # 4.3. enable-remote-toggle
- # =========================
- #
- # Specifies:
- #
- # Whether or not the web-based toggle feature may be used
- #
- # Type of value:
- #
- # 0 or 1
- #
- # Default value:
- #
- # 1
- #
- # Effect if unset:
- #
- # The web-based toggle feature is disabled.
- #
- # Notes:
- #
- # When toggled off, Privoxy acts like a normal, content-neutral
- # proxy, i.e. it acts as if none of the actions applied to
- # any URL.
- #
- # For the time being, 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 you must have compiled Privoxy with support for this
- # feature, otherwise this option has no effect.
- #
- enable-remote-toggle 1
- #
- # 4.4. enable-edit-actions
- # ========================
- #
- # Specifies:
- #
- # Whether or not the web-based actions file editor may be used
- #
- # Type of value:
- #
- # 0 or 1
- #
- # Default value:
- #
- # 1
- #
- # Effect if unset:
- #
- # The web-based actions file editor is disabled.
- #
- # Notes:
- #
- # For the time being, access to the editor can not be controlled
- # separately by "ACLs" or HTTP authentication, so that everybody
- # who can access Privoxy (see "ACLs" and listen-address above)
- # can modify its configuration for all users. So this option is
- # not recommended for multi-user environments with untrusted users.
- #
- # Note that you must have compiled Privoxy with support for this
- # feature, otherwise this option has no effect.
- #
- enable-edit-actions 1
- #
- # 4.5. ACLs: permit-access and deny-access
- # ========================================
- #
- # Specifies:
- #
- # Who can access what.
- #
- # Type of value:
- #
- # src_addr[/src_masklen] [dst_addr[/dst_masklen]]
- #
- # Where src_addr and dst_addr are IP addresses in dotted decimal
- # notation or valid DNS names, 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.
- #
- # Default value:
- #
- # Unset
- #
- # 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 this proxy 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, then
- # the Privoxy talks only 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.
- #
- # 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.
- #
- # 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:
- #
- # 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 www.dirty-stuff.example.com:
- #
- # permit-access 192.168.45.64/26
- # deny-access 192.168.45.73 www.dirty-stuff.example.com
- #
- #
- # 4.6. buffer-limit
- # =================
- #
- # Specifies:
- #
- # Maximum size of the buffer for content filtering.
- #
- # Type of value:
- #
- # Size in Kbytes
- #
- # Default value:
- #
- # 4096
- #
- # 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.
- #
- buffer-limit 4096
- #
- # 5. FORWARDING
- # =============
- #
- # This feature allows routing of HTTP requests through a chain
- # of multiple proxies. It can be used to better protect privacy
- # and confidentiality when accessing specific domains by routing
- # requests to those domains through an anonymous public proxy (see
- # e.g. http://www.multiproxy.org/anon_list.htm) Or to use a caching
- # proxy to speed up browsing. Or chaining to a parent proxy may be
- # necessary because the machine that Privoxy runs on has no direct
- # Internet access.
- #
- # 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: 8080). 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.
- #
- # Multiple lines are OK, they are checked in sequence, and the
- # last match wins.
- #
- # Examples:
- #
- # Everything goes to an example anonymizing proxy, except SSL on
- # port 443 (which it doesn't handle):
- #
- # forward / anon-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.example-isp.net:8000
- # forward .example-isp.net .
- #
- #
- # 5.2. forward-socks4 and forward-socks4a
- # =======================================
- #
- # Specifies:
- #
- # Through which SOCKS proxy (and 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 64535
- #
- # 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.
- #
- # 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.example-isp.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 .
- #
- forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .
- #
- # 6. 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 will log messages to the
- # console window:
- #
- #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
- # will minimize Privoxy instead of closing the program (close with
- # the exit option on the File menu).
- #
- #close-button-minimizes 1
- # The "hide-console" option is specific to the MS-Win console version
- # of Privoxy. If this option is used, Privoxy will disconnect from
- # and hide the command console.
- #
- #hide-console
- #
