INTRODUCTION#   ===============##  This file holds the Privoxy configuration. If you modify this file,#  you will need to send a couple of requests (of any kind) 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. 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.###  1.1. 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 the single best source of information on#      Privoxy, and 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:##      The best all purpose solution is simply to put the full local#      PATH to where the User Manual is located:##        user-manual  /usr/share/doc/privoxy/user-manual##      The User Manual is then available to anyone with#      access to the proxy, by following the built-in URL:#      http://config.privoxy.org/user-manual/ (or the shortcut:#      http://p.p/user-manual/).##      If the documentation is not on the local system, it can be#      accessed from a remote server, as:##        user-manual  http://example.com/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/##  1.2. 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.htmltrust-info-url  http://www.example.com/what_we_allow.html##  1.3. 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##  1.4. 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##  2. 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.###  2.1. 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 .##  2.2. 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 .##  2.3. 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, recommendedactionsfile default   # Main actions fileactionsfile user      # User customizations##  2.4. filterfile#  ===============##  Specifies:##      The filter file(s) 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:##      Multiple filterfile lines are permitted.##      The filter files contain content modification rules that use#      regular expressions. These rules permit powerful changes on#      the content of Web pages, and optionally the headers as well,#      e.g., you could disable your favorite JavaScript annoyances,#      re-write the actual displayed text, or just have some fun#      playing buzzword bingo with web pages.##      The +filter{name} actions rely on the relevant filter (name)#      to be defined in a filter file!##      A pre-defined filter file called default.filter that contains a#      number of useful filters for common problems is included in the#      distribution. See the section on the filter action for a list.##      It is recommended to place any locally adapted filters into a#      separate file, such as user.filter.#filterfile default.filter#filterfile user.filter      # User customizations##  2.5. 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 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 privoxy.log##  2.6. jarfile#  ============##  Specifies:##      The file to store intercepted cookies in##  Type of value:##      File name, relative to logdir##  Default value:##      Unset (commented out). When activated: jarfile (Unix) or#      privoxy.jar (Windows)##  Effect if unset:##      Intercepted cookies are not stored in a dedicated log file.##  Notes:##      The jarfile may grow to ridiculous sizes over time.##      If debug 8 (show header parsing) is enabled, cookies are written#      to the logfile with the rest of the headers.##jarfile jar.log##  2.7. 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##  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 requestdebug   4096 # Startup banner and warningsdebug   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 0 ##  4.4. enable-remote-http-toggle#  ==============================##  Specifies:##      Whether or not Privoxy recognizes special HTTP headers to change#      its behaviour.##  Type of value:##      0 or 1##  Default value:##      1##  Effect if unset:##      Privoxy ignores special HTTP headers.##  Notes:##      When toggled on, the client can change Privoxy's behaviour by#      setting special HTTP headers. Currently the only supported#      special header is "X-Filter: No", to disable filtering for#      the ongoing request, even if it is enabled in one of the#      action files.##      If you are using Privoxy in a multi-user environment or with#      untrustworthy clients and want to enforce filtering, you will#      have to disable this option, otherwise you can ignore it.#enable-remote-http-toggle 0 ##  4.5. 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 0##  4.6. 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###  4.7. 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.#  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  .##      To chain Privoxy and Tor, both running on the same system,#      you should use the rule:#  forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .##      The public Tor network can't be used to reach your local network,#      therefore it's a good idea to make some exceptions:##        forward         192.168.*.*/     .#        forward            10.*.*.*/     .#        forward           127.*.*.*/     .##      Unencrypted connections to systems in these address ranges will#      be as (un)secure as the local network is, but the alternative is#      that you can't reach the network at all.##      If you also want to be able to reach servers in your local#      network by using their names, you will need additional#      exceptions that look like this:##        forward           localhost/     .###  5.3. forwarded-connect-retries#  ==============================##  Specifies:##      How often Privoxy retries if a forwarded connection request#      fails.##  Type of value:##      Number of retries.##  Default value:##      0##  Effect if unset:##      Forwarded connections are treated like direct connections and#      no retry attempts are made.##  Notes:##      forwarded-connect-retries is mainly interesting for socks4a#      connections, where Privoxy can't detect why the connections#      failed. The connection might have failed because of a DNS timeout#      in which case a retry makes sense, but it might also have failed#      because the server doesn't exist or isn't reachable. In this#      case the retry will just delay the appearance of Privoxy's#      error message.##      Only use this option, if you are getting many forwarding related#      error messages, that go away when you try again manually. Start#      with a small value and check Privoxy's logfile from time to time,#      to see how many retries are usually needed.##  Examples:##      forwarded-connect-retries 1#forwarded-connect-retries  0##  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   0#  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#
