#
#
# I. INTRODUCTION
# ===============
#
# This file holds Privoxy's main configuration. Privoxy detects
# configuration changes automatically, so you don't have to restart
# it unless you want to load a different configuration file.
#
# The configuration will be reloaded with the first request after
# the change was done, this request itself will still use the old
# configuration, though. In other words: it takes two requests
# before you see the result of your changes. Requests that are
# dropped due to ACL don't trigger reloads.
#
# When starting Privoxy on Unix systems, give the location of this
# file as last argument. On Windows systems, Privoxy will look for
# this file with the name 'config.txt' in the current working
# directory of the Privoxy process.
#
#
# 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. Removing the # again is called "uncommenting".
#
# Note that commenting out an option and leaving it at its default
# are two completely different things! Most options behave very
# differently when unset. See 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:
#
# https://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.
#
# 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
# Privoxy, 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 /usr/share/doc/privoxy/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:
#
# Unset
#
# 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 below.)
#
# 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
#
# 1.3. admin-address
# ===================
#
# Specifies:
#
# An email address to reach the Privoxy 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.
#
confdir /etc/privoxy
#
# 2.2. templdir
# ==============
#
# Specifies:
#
# An alternative directory where the templates are loaded from.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Path name
#
# Default value:
#
# unset
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# The templates are assumed to be located in confdir/template.
#
# Notes:
#
# Privoxy's original templates are usually overwritten with each
# update. Use this option to relocate customized templates that
# should be kept. As template variables might change between
# updates, you shouldn't expect templates to work with Privoxy
# releases other than the one they were part of, though.
#
#templdir .
#
# 2.3. temporary-directory
# =========================
#
# Specifies:
#
# A directory where Privoxy can create temporary files.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Path name
#
# Default value:
#
# unset
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# No temporary files are created, external filters don't work.
#
# Notes:
#
# To execute external filters, Privoxy has to create temporary
# files. This directive specifies the directory the temporary
# files should be written to.
#
# It should be a directory only Privoxy (and trusted users) can
# access.
#
#temporary-directory .
#
# 2.4. logdir
# ============
#
# Specifies:
#
# The directory where all logging takes place (i.e. where the
# logfile is 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 /var/log/privoxy
#
# 2.5. actionsfile
# =================
#
# Specifies:
#
# The actions file(s) to use
#
# Type of value:
#
# Complete file name, relative to confdir
#
# Default values:
#
# match-all.action # Actions that are applied to all sites and maybe overruled later on.
#
# default.action # Main actions file
#
# user.action # User customizations
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# No actions are taken at all. More or less neutral proxying.
#
# Notes:
#
# Multiple actionsfile lines are permitted, and are in fact
# recommended!
#
# The default values are default.action, which is the "main"
# actions file maintained by the developers, and user.action,
# where you can make your personal additions.
#
# Actions files contain all the per site and per URL
# configuration for ad blocking, cookie management, privacy
# considerations, etc.
#
actionsfile match-all.action # Actions that are applied to all sites and maybe overruled later on.
actionsfile default.action # Main actions file
actionsfile user.action # User customizations
#
# 2.6. 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 try to 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
#
# 2.7. logfile
# =============
#
# Specifies:
#
# The log file to use
#
# Type of value:
#
# File name, relative to logdir
#
# Default value:
#
# Unset (commented out). When activated: logfile (Unix) or
# privoxy.log (Windows).
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# No logfile is written.
#
# 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) and it can help you
# to monitor what your browser is doing.
#
# Depending on the debug options below, the logfile may be a
# privacy risk if third parties can get access to it. As most
# users will never look at it, Privoxy only logs fatal errors by
# default.
#
# For most troubleshooting purposes, you will have to change
# that, please refer to the debugging section for details.
#
# Any log files must be writable by whatever user Privoxy is
# being run as (on Unix, default user id is "privoxy").
#
# To prevent the logfile from growing indefinitely, it is
# recommended to periodically rotate or shorten it. Many
# operating systems support log rotation out of the box, some
# require additional software to do it. For details, please
# refer to the documentation for your operating system.
#
logfile privoxy.log
#
# 2.8. trustfile
# ===============
#
# Specifies:
#
# The name of 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 disabled.
#
# 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 allows
# access to ~www.example.com/features/news.html, etc.
#
# 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 to get there. 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). There is a limit of 512
# such entries, after which new entries will not be made.
#
# 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.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Integer values
#
# Default value:
#
# 0 (i.e.: only fatal errors (that cause Privoxy to exit) are
# logged)
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Default value is used (see above).
#
# Notes:
#
# The available debug levels are:
#
# debug 1 # Log the destination for each request Privoxy let through. See also debug 1024.
# debug 2 # show each connection status
# debug 4 # show I/O status
# debug 8 # show header parsing
# debug 16 # log all data written to the network
# debug 32 # debug force feature
# debug 64 # debug regular expression filters
# debug 128 # debug redirects
# debug 256 # debug GIF de-animation
# debug 512 # Common Log Format
# debug 1024 # Log the destination for requests Privoxy didn't let through, and the reason why.
# debug 2048 # CGI user interface
# debug 4096 # Startup banner and warnings.
# debug 8192 # Non-fatal errors
# debug 32768 # log all data read from the network
# debug 65536 # Log the applying actions
#
# 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, 1024, 4096 and 8192 are
# 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).
#
# If you are used to the more verbose settings, simply enable
# the debug lines below again.
#
# If you want to use pure CLF (Common Log Format), you should
# set "debug 512" ONLY and not enable anything else.
#
# Privoxy has a hard-coded limit for the length of log messages.
# If it's reached, messages are logged truncated and marked with
# "... [too long, truncated]".
#
# Please don't file any support requests without trying to
# reproduce the problem with increased debug level first. Once
# you read the log messages, you may even be able to solve the
# problem on your own.
#
#debug 1 # Log the destination for each request Privoxy let through. See also debug 1024.
debug 1
#debug 1024 # Log the destination for requests Privoxy didn't let through, and the reason why.
#debug 4096 # Startup banner and warnings
#debug 8192 # Non-fatal errors
#
# 3.2. single-threaded
# =====================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Whether to run only one server thread.
#
# Type of value:
#
# 1 or 0
#
# Default value:
#
# 0
#
# 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 debugging purposes. It will
# drastically reduce performance.
#
#single-threaded 1
#
# 3.3. hostname
# ==============
#
# Specifies:
#
# The hostname shown on the CGI pages.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Text
#
# Default value:
#
# Unset
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# The hostname provided by the operating system is used.
#
# Notes:
#
# On some misconfigured systems resolving the hostname fails or
# takes too much time and slows Privoxy down. Setting a fixed
# hostname works around the problem.
#
# In other circumstances it might be desirable to show a
# hostname other than the one returned by the operating system.
# For example if the system has several different hostnames and
# you don't want to use the first one.
#
# Note that Privoxy does not validate the specified hostname
# value.
#
#hostname hostname.example.org
#
# 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 address and TCP port on which Privoxy will listen for
# client requests.
#
# Type of value:
#
# [IP-Address]:Port
#
# [Hostname]:Port
#
# Default value:
#
# 127.0.0.1:8118
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Bind to 127.0.0.1 (IPv4 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.
#
# You can use this statement multiple times to make Privoxy
# listen on more ports or more IP addresses. Suitable if your
# operating system does not support sharing IPv6 and IPv4
# protocols on the same socket.
#
# If a hostname is used instead of an IP address, Privoxy will
# try to resolve it to an IP address and if there are multiple,
# use the first one returned.
#
# If the address for the hostname isn't already known on the
# system (for example because it's in /etc/hostname), this may
# result in DNS traffic.
#
# If the specified address isn't available on the system, or if
# the hostname can't be resolved, Privoxy will fail to start.
#
# IPv6 addresses containing colons have to be quoted by
# brackets. They can only be used if Privoxy has been compiled
# with IPv6 support. If you aren't sure if your version supports
# it, have a look at http://config.privoxy.org/show-status.
#
# Some operating systems will prefer IPv6 to IPv4 addresses even
# if the system has no IPv6 connectivity which is usually not
# expected by the user. Some even rely on DNS to resolve
# localhost which mean the "localhost" address used may not
# actually be local.
#
# It is therefore recommended to explicitly configure the
# intended IP address instead of relying on the operating
# system, unless there's a strong reason not to.
#
# If you leave out the address, Privoxy will bind to all IPv4
# interfaces (addresses) on your machine and may become
# reachable from the Internet and/or the local network. Be aware
# that some GNU/Linux distributions modify that behaviour
# without updating the documentation. Check for non-standard
# patches if your Privoxy version behaves differently.
#
# If you configure Privoxy to be reachable from the network,
# 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
# make sure that the following actions are disabled:
# enable-edit-actions and enable-remote-toggle
#
# 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
#
# Suppose you are running Privoxy on an IPv6-capable machine and
# you want it to listen on the IPv6 address of the loopback
# device:
#
# listen-address [::1]:8118
#
listen-address 0.0.0.0:3001
#
# 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.
# mostly behave like a normal, content-neutral proxy with both
# ad blocking and content filtering disabled. See
# enable-remote-toggle below.
#
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:
#
# 0
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# The web-based toggle feature is disabled.
#
# Notes:
#
# When toggled off, Privoxy mostly acts like a normal,
# content-neutral proxy, i.e. doesn't block ads or filter
# content.
#
# 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 malicious client side code (e.g Java) is also
# capable of using this option.
#
# As a lot of Privoxy users don't read documentation, this
# feature is disabled by default.
#
# 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:
#
# 0
#
# 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.
#
# This feature is disabled by default. If you are using Privoxy
# in a environment with trusted clients, you may enable this
# feature at your discretion. Note that malicious client side
# code (e.g Java) is also capable of using this feature.
#
# This option will be removed in future releases as it has been
# obsoleted by the more general header taggers.
#
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:
#
# 0
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# The web-based actions file editor is disabled.
#
# Notes:
#
# 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.
#
# This option is not recommended for environments with untrusted
# users and as a lot of Privoxy users don't read documentation,
# this feature is disabled by default.
#
# Note that malicious client side code (e.g Java) is also
# capable of using the actions editor and you shouldn't enable
# this options unless you understand the consequences and are
# sure your browser is configured correctly.
#
# Note that you must have compiled Privoxy with support for this
# feature, otherwise this option has no effect.
#
enable-edit-actions 0
#
# 4.6. enforce-blocks
# ====================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Whether the user is allowed to ignore blocks and can "go there
# anyway".
#
# Type of value:
#
# 0 or 1
#
# Default value:
#
# 0
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Blocks are not enforced.
#
# Notes:
#
# Privoxy is mainly used to block and filter requests as a
# service to the user, for example to block ads and other junk
# that clogs the pipes. Privoxy's configuration isn't perfect
# and sometimes innocent pages are blocked. In this situation it
# makes sense to allow the user to enforce the request and have
# Privoxy ignore the block.
#
# In the default configuration Privoxy's "Blocked" page contains
# a "go there anyway" link to adds a special string (the force
# prefix) to the request URL. If that link is used, Privoxy will
# detect the force prefix, remove it again and let the request
# pass.
#
# Of course Privoxy can also be used to enforce a network
# policy. In that case the user obviously should not be able to
# bypass any blocks, and that's what the "enforce-blocks" option
# is for. If it's enabled, Privoxy hides the "go there anyway"
# link. If the user adds the force prefix by hand, it will not
# be accepted and the circumvention attempt is logged.
#
# Examples:
#
# enforce-blocks 1
#
enforce-blocks 0
#
# 4.7. ACLs: permit-access and deny-access
# =========================================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Who can access what.
#
# Type of value:
#
# src_addr[:port][/src_masklen] [dst_addr[:port][/dst_masklen]]
#
# Where src_addr and dst_addr are IPv4 addresses in dotted
# decimal notation or valid DNS names, port is a port number,
# 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.
#
# If your system implements RFC 3493, then src_addr and dst_addr
# can be IPv6 addresses delimeted by brackets, port can be a
# number or a service name, and src_masklen and dst_masklen can
# be a number from 0 to 128.
#
# Default value:
#
# Unset
#
# If no port is specified, any port will match. If no
# src_masklen or src_masklen is given, the complete IP address
# has to match (i.e. 32 bits for IPv4 and 128 bits for IPv6).
#
# 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 Privoxy 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, Privoxy
# only talks 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.
#
# Some systems allow IPv4 clients to connect to IPv6 server
# sockets. Then the client's IPv4 address will be translated by
# the system into IPv6 address space with special prefix
# ::ffff:0:0/96 (so called IPv4 mapped IPv6 address). Privoxy
# can handle it and maps such ACL addresses automatically.
#
# 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 (most sites are).
#
# 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 (or other domains hosted
# on the same system):
#
# 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 the IP address behind www.dirty-stuff.example.com:
#
# permit-access 192.168.45.64/26
# deny-access 192.168.45.73 www.dirty-stuff.example.com
#
# Allow access from the IPv4 network 192.0.2.0/24 even if
# listening on an IPv6 wild card address (not supported on all
# platforms):
#
# permit-access 192.0.2.0/24
#
# This is equivalent to the following line even if listening on
# an IPv4 address (not supported on all platforms):
#
# permit-access [::ffff:192.0.2.0]/120
#
#
# 4.8. 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
#
# 4.9. enable-proxy-authentication-forwarding
# ============================================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Whether or not proxy authentication through Privoxy should
# work.
#
# Type of value:
#
# 0 or 1
#
# Default value:
#
# 0
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Proxy authentication headers are removed.
#
# Notes:
#
# Privoxy itself does not support proxy authentication, but can
# allow clients to authenticate against Privoxy's parent proxy.
#
# By default Privoxy (3.0.21 and later) don't do that and remove
# Proxy-Authorization headers in requests and Proxy-Authenticate
# headers in responses to make it harder for malicious sites to
# trick inexperienced users into providing login information.
#
# If this option is enabled the headers are forwarded.
#
# Enabling this option is not recommended if there is no parent
# proxy that requires authentication or if the local network
# between Privoxy and the parent proxy isn't trustworthy. If
# proxy authentication is only required for some requests, it is
# recommended to use a client header filter to remove the
# authentication headers for requests where they aren't needed.
#
enable-proxy-authentication-forwarding 0
#
# 4.10. trusted-cgi-referer
# ==========================
#
# Specifies:
#
# A trusted website or webpage whose links can be followed to
# reach sensitive CGI pages
#
# Type of value:
#
# URL or URL prefix
#
# Default value:
#
# Unset
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# No external pages are considered trusted referers.
#
# Notes:
#
# Before Privoxy accepts configuration changes through CGI pages
# like client-tags or the remote toggle, it checks the Referer
# header to see if the request comes from a trusted source.
#
# By default only the webinterface domains config.privoxy.org
# and p.p are considered trustworthy. Requests originating from
# other domains are rejected to prevent third-parties from
# modifiying Privoxy's state by e.g. embedding images that
# result in CGI requests.
#
# In some environments it may be desirable to embed links to CGI
# pages on external pages, for example on an Intranet homepage
# the Privoxy admin controls.
#
# The "trusted-cgi-referer" option can be used to add that page,
# or the whole domain, as trusted source so the resulting
# requests aren't rejected. Requests are accepted if the
# specified trusted-cgi-refer is the prefix of the Referer.
#
# +-----------------------------------------------------+
# | Warning |
# |-----------------------------------------------------|
# |Declaring pages the admin doesn't control trustworthy|
# |may allow malicious third parties to modify Privoxy's|
# |internal state against the user's wishes and without |
# |the user's knowledge. |

#
#
# 5. FORWARDING
# ==============
#
# This feature allows routing of HTTP requests through a chain of
# multiple proxies.
#
# Forwarding can be used to chain Privoxy with a caching proxy to
# speed up browsing. Using a parent proxy may also be necessary if
# the machine that Privoxy runs on has no direct Internet access.
#
# Note that parent proxies can severely decrease your privacy level.
# For example a parent proxy could add your IP address to the
# request headers and if it's a caching proxy it may add the "Etag"
# header to revalidation requests again, even though you configured
# Privoxy to remove it. It may also ignore Privoxy's header time
# randomization and use the original values which could be used by
# the server as cookie replacement to track your steps between
# visits.
#
# 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: 8000). 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.
#
# http_parent can be a numerical IPv6 address (if RFC 3493 is
# implemented). To prevent clashes with the port delimiter, the
# whole IP address has to be put into brackets. On the other
# hand a target_pattern containing an IPv6 address has to be put
# into angle brackets (normal brackets are reserved for regular
# expressions already).
#
# Multiple lines are OK, they are checked in sequence, and the
# last match wins.
#
# Examples:
#
# Everything goes to an example parent proxy, except SSL on port
# 443 (which it doesn't handle):
#
# forward / parent-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.isp.example.net:8000
# forward .isp.example.net .
#
# Parent proxy specified by an IPv6 address:
#
# forward / [2001:DB8::1]:8000
#
# Suppose your parent proxy doesn't support IPv6:
#
# forward / parent-proxy.example.org:8000
# forward ipv6-server.example.org .
# forward <[2-3][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f]:*> .
#
#
# 5.2. forward-socks4, forward-socks4a, forward-socks5 and forward-socks5t
# =========================================================================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Through which SOCKS proxy (and optionally 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 65535
#
# 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.
#
# With forward-socks5 the DNS resolution will happen on the
# remote server as well.
#
# forward-socks5t works like vanilla forward-socks5 but lets
# Privoxy additionally use Tor-specific SOCKS extensions.
# Currently the only supported SOCKS extension is optimistic
# data which can reduce the latency for the first request made
# on a newly created connection.
#
# socks_proxy and http_parent can be a numerical IPv6 address
# (if RFC 3493 is implemented). To prevent clashes with the port
# delimiter, the whole IP address has to be put into brackets.
# On the other hand a target_pattern containing an IPv6 address
# has to be put into angle brackets (normal brackets are
# reserved for regular expressions already).
#
# 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.isp.example.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
# would use something like:
#
# forward-socks5t / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
#
# Note that if you got Tor through one of the bundles, you may
# have to change the port from 9050 to 9150 (or even another
# one). For details, please check the documentation on the Tor
# website.
#
# The public Tor network can't be used to reach your local
# network, if you need to access local servers you therefore
# might want 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 local network through
# Privoxy at all. Of course this may actually be desired and
# there is no reason to make these exceptions if you aren't sure
# you need them.
#
# 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:
#
# Connections forwarded through other proxies 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.
#
# Note that in the context of this option, "forwarded
# connections" includes all connections that Privoxy forwards
# through other proxies. This option is not limited to the HTTP
# CONNECT method.
#
# Only use this option, if you are getting lots of
# 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. MISCELLANEOUS
# =================
#
# 6.1. accept-intercepted-requests
# =================================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Whether intercepted requests should be treated as valid.
#
# Type of value:
#
# 0 or 1
#
# Default value:
#
# 0
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Only proxy requests are accepted, intercepted requests are
# treated as invalid.
#
# Notes:
#
# If you don't trust your clients and want to force them to use
# Privoxy, enable this option and configure your packet filter
# to redirect outgoing HTTP connections into Privoxy.
#
# Note that intercepting encrypted connections (HTTPS) isn't
# supported.
#
# Make sure that Privoxy's own requests aren't redirected as
# well. Additionally take care that Privoxy can't intentionally
# connect to itself, otherwise you could run into redirection
# loops if Privoxy's listening port is reachable by the outside
# or an attacker has access to the pages you visit.
#
# If you are running Privoxy as intercepting proxy without being
# able to intercept all client requests you may want to adjust
# the CGI templates to make sure they don't reference content
# from config.privoxy.org.
#
# Examples:
#
# accept-intercepted-requests 1
#
accept-intercepted-requests 0
#
# 6.2. allow-cgi-request-crunching
# =================================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Whether requests to Privoxy's CGI pages can be blocked or
# redirected.
#
# Type of value:
#
# 0 or 1
#
# Default value:
#
# 0
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Privoxy ignores block and redirect actions for its CGI pages.
#
# Notes:
#
# By default Privoxy ignores block or redirect actions for its
# CGI pages. Intercepting these requests can be useful in
# multi-user setups to implement fine-grained access control,
# but it can also render the complete web interface useless and
# make debugging problems painful if done without care.
#
# Don't enable this option unless you're sure that you really
# need it.
#
# Examples:
#
# allow-cgi-request-crunching 1
#
allow-cgi-request-crunching 0
#
# 6.3. split-large-forms
# =======================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Whether the CGI interface should stay compatible with broken
# HTTP clients.
#
# Type of value:
#
# 0 or 1
#
# Default value:
#
# 0
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# The CGI form generate long GET URLs.
#
# Notes:
#
# Privoxy's CGI forms can lead to rather long URLs. This isn't a
# problem as far as the HTTP standard is concerned, but it can
# confuse clients with arbitrary URL length limitations.
#
# Enabling split-large-forms causes Privoxy to divide big forms
# into smaller ones to keep the URL length down. It makes
# editing a lot less convenient and you can no longer submit all
# changes at once, but at least it works around this browser
# bug.
#
# If you don't notice any editing problems, there is no reason
# to enable this option, but if one of the submit buttons
# appears to be broken, you should give it a try.
#
# Examples:
#
# split-large-forms 1
#
split-large-forms 0
#
# 6.4. keep-alive-timeout
# ========================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Number of seconds after which an open connection will no
# longer be reused.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Time in seconds.
#
# Default value:
#
# None
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Connections are not kept alive.
#
# Notes:
#
# This option allows clients to keep the connection to Privoxy
# alive. If the server supports it, Privoxy will keep the
# connection to the server alive as well. Under certain
# circumstances this may result in speed-ups.
#
# By default, Privoxy will close the connection to the server if
# the client connection gets closed, or if the specified timeout
# has been reached without a new request coming in. This
# behaviour can be changed with the connection-sharing option.
#
# This option has no effect if Privoxy has been compiled without
# keep-alive support.
#
# Note that a timeout of five seconds as used in the default
# configuration file significantly decreases the number of
# connections that will be reused. The value is used because
# some browsers limit the number of connections they open to a
# single host and apply the same limit to proxies. This can
# result in a single website "grabbing" all the connections the
# browser allows, which means connections to other websites
# can't be opened until the connections currently in use time
# out.
#
# Several users have reported this as a Privoxy bug, so the
# default value has been reduced. Consider increasing it to 300
# seconds or even more if you think your browser can handle it.
# If your browser appears to be hanging, it probably can't.
#
# Examples:
#
# keep-alive-timeout 300
#
keep-alive-timeout 5
#
# 6.5. tolerate-pipelining
# =========================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Whether or not pipelined requests should be served.
#
# Type of value:
#
# 0 or 1.
#
# Default value:
#
# None
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# If Privoxy receives more than one request at once, it
# terminates the client connection after serving the first one.
#
# Notes:
#
# Privoxy currently doesn't pipeline outgoing requests, thus
# allowing pipelining on the client connection is not guaranteed
# to improve the performance.
#
# By default Privoxy tries to discourage clients from pipelining
# by discarding aggressively pipelined requests, which forces
# the client to resend them through a new connection.
#
# This option lets Privoxy tolerate pipelining. Whether or not
# that improves performance mainly depends on the client
# configuration.
#
# If you are seeing problems with pages not properly loading,
# disabling this option could work around the problem.
#
# Examples:
#
# tolerate-pipelining 1
#
tolerate-pipelining 1
#
# 6.6. default-server-timeout
# ============================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Assumed server-side keep-alive timeout if not specified by the
# server.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Time in seconds.
#
# Default value:
#
# None
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Connections for which the server didn't specify the keep-alive
# timeout are not reused.
#
# Notes:
#
# Enabling this option significantly increases the number of
# connections that are reused, provided the keep-alive-timeout
# option is also enabled.
#
# While it also increases the number of connections problems
# when Privoxy tries to reuse a connection that already has been
# closed on the server side, or is closed while Privoxy is
# trying to reuse it, this should only be a problem if it
# happens for the first request sent by the client. If it
# happens for requests on reused client connections, Privoxy
# will simply close the connection and the client is supposed to
# retry the request without bothering the user.
#
# Enabling this option is therefore only recommended if the
# connection-sharing option is disabled.
#
# It is an error to specify a value larger than the
# keep-alive-timeout value.
#
# This option has no effect if Privoxy has been compiled without
# keep-alive support.
#
# Examples:
#
# default-server-timeout 60
#
#default-server-timeout 60
#
# 6.7. connection-sharing
# ========================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Whether or not outgoing connections that have been kept alive
# should be shared between different incoming connections.
#
# Type of value:
#
# 0 or 1
#
# Default value:
#
# None
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Connections are not shared.
#
# Notes:
#
# This option has no effect if Privoxy has been compiled without
# keep-alive support, or if it's disabled.
#
# Notes:
#
# Note that reusing connections doesn't necessary cause
# speedups. There are also a few privacy implications you should
# be aware of.
#
# If this option is effective, outgoing connections are shared
# between clients (if there are more than one) and closing the
# browser that initiated the outgoing connection does no longer
# affect the connection between Privoxy and the server unless
# the client's request hasn't been completed yet.
#
# If the outgoing connection is idle, it will not be closed
# until either Privoxy's or the server's timeout is reached.
# While it's open, the server knows that the system running
# Privoxy is still there.
#
# If there are more than one client (maybe even belonging to
# multiple users), they will be able to reuse each others
# connections. This is potentially dangerous in case of
# authentication schemes like NTLM where only the connection is
# authenticated, instead of requiring authentication for each
# request.
#
# If there is only a single client, and if said client can keep
# connections alive on its own, enabling this option has next to
# no effect. If the client doesn't support connection
# keep-alive, enabling this option may make sense as it allows
# Privoxy to keep outgoing connections alive even if the client
# itself doesn't support it.
#
# You should also be aware that enabling this option increases
# the likelihood of getting the "No server or forwarder data"
# error message, especially if you are using a slow connection
# to the Internet.
#
# This option should only be used by experienced users who
# understand the risks and can weight them against the benefits.
#
# Examples:
#
# connection-sharing 1
#
#connection-sharing 1
#
# 6.8. socket-timeout
# ====================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Number of seconds after which a socket times out if no data is
# received.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Time in seconds.
#
# Default value:
#
# None
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# A default value of 300 seconds is used.
#
# Notes:
#
# The default is quite high and you probably want to reduce it.
# If you aren't using an occasionally slow proxy like Tor,
# reducing it to a few seconds should be fine.
#
# Examples:
#
# socket-timeout 300
#
socket-timeout 300
#
# 6.9. max-client-connections
# ============================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Maximum number of client connections that will be served.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Positive number.
#
# Default value:
#
# 128
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Connections are served until a resource limit is reached.
#
# Notes:
#
# Privoxy creates one thread (or process) for every incoming
# client connection that isn't rejected based on the access
# control settings.
#
# If the system is powerful enough, Privoxy can theoretically
# deal with several hundred (or thousand) connections at the
# same time, but some operating systems enforce resource limits
# by shutting down offending processes and their default limits
# may be below the ones Privoxy would require under heavy load.
#
# Configuring Privoxy to enforce a connection limit below the
# thread or process limit used by the operating system makes
# sure this doesn't happen. Simply increasing the operating
# system's limit would work too, but if Privoxy isn't the only
# application running on the system, you may actually want to
# limit the resources used by Privoxy.
#
# If Privoxy is only used by a single trusted user, limiting the
# number of client connections is probably unnecessary. If there
# are multiple possibly untrusted users you probably still want
# to additionally use a packet filter to limit the maximal
# number of incoming connections per client. Otherwise a
# malicious user could intentionally create a high number of
# connections to prevent other users from using Privoxy.
#
# Obviously using this option only makes sense if you choose a
# limit below the one enforced by the operating system.
#
# One most POSIX-compliant systems Privoxy can't properly deal
# with more than FD_SETSIZE file descriptors at the same time
# and has to reject connections if the limit is reached. This
# will likely change in a future version, but currently this
# limit can't be increased without recompiling Privoxy with a
# different FD_SETSIZE limit.
#
# Examples:
#
# max-client-connections 256
#
#max-client-connections 256
#
# 6.10. listen-backlog
# =====================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Connection queue length requested from the operating system.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Number.
#
# Default value:
#
# 128
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# A connection queue length of 128 is requested from the
# operating system.
#
# Notes:
#
# Under high load incoming connection may queue up before
# Privoxy gets around to serve them. The queue length is
# limitted by the operating system. Once the queue is full,
# additional connections are dropped before Privoxy can accept
# and serve them.
#
# Increasing the queue length allows Privoxy to accept more
# incomming connections that arrive roughly at the same time.
#
# Note that Privoxy can only request a certain queue length,
# whether or not the requested length is actually used depends
# on the operating system which may use a different length
# instead.
#
# On many operating systems a limit of -1 can be specified to
# instruct the operating system to use the maximum queue length
# allowed. Check the listen man page to see if your platform
# allows this.
#
# On some platforms you can use "netstat -Lan -p tcp" to see the
# effective queue length.
#
# Effectively using a value above 128 usually requires changing
# the system configuration as well. On FreeBSD-based system the
# limit is controlled by the kern.ipc.soacceptqueue sysctl.
#
# Examples:
#
# listen-backlog 4096
#
#listen-backlog -1
#
# 6.11. enable-accept-filter
# ===========================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Whether or not Privoxy should use an accept filter
#
# Type of value:
#
# 0 or 1
#
# Default value:
#
# 0
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# No accept filter is enabled.
#
# Notes:
#
# Accept filters reduce the number of context switches by not
# passing sockets for new connections to Privoxy until a
# complete HTTP request is available.
#
# As a result, Privoxy can process the whole request right away
# without having to wait for additional data first.
#
# For this option to work, Privoxy has to be compiled with
# FEATURE_ACCEPT_FILTER and the operating system has to support
# it (which may require loading a kernel module).
#
# Currently accept filters are only supported on FreeBSD-based
# systems. Check the accf_http(9) man page to learn how to
# enable the support in the operating system.
#
# Examples:
#
# enable-accept-filter 1
#
#enable-accept-filter 1
#
# 6.12. handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok
# =====================================
#
# Specifies:
#
# The status code Privoxy returns for pages blocked with
# +handle-as-empty-document.
#
# Type of value:
#
# 0 or 1
#
# Default value:
#
# 0
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Privoxy returns a status 403(forbidden) for all blocked pages.
#
# Effect if set:
#
# Privoxy returns a status 200(OK) for pages blocked with
# +handle-as-empty-document and a status 403(Forbidden) for all
# other blocked pages.
#
# Notes:
#
# This directive was added as a work-around for Firefox bug
# 492459: "Websites are no longer rendered if SSL requests for
# JavaScripts are blocked by a proxy."
# (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492459), the bug
# has been fixed for quite some time, but this directive is also
# useful to make it harder for websites to detect whether or not
# resources are being blocked.
#
#handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok 1
#
# 6.13. enable-compression
# =========================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Whether or not buffered content is compressed before delivery.
#
# Type of value:
#
# 0 or 1
#
# Default value:
#
# 0
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Privoxy does not compress buffered content.
#
# Effect if set:
#
# Privoxy compresses buffered content before delivering it to
# the client, provided the client supports it.
#
# Notes:
#
# This directive is only supported if Privoxy has been compiled
# with FEATURE_COMPRESSION, which should not to be confused with
# FEATURE_ZLIB.
#
# Compressing buffered content is mainly useful if Privoxy and
# the client are running on different systems. If they are
# running on the same system, enabling compression is likely to
# slow things down. If you didn't measure otherwise, you should
# assume that it does and keep this option disabled.
#
# Privoxy will not compress buffered content below a certain
# length.
#
#enable-compression 1
#
# 6.14. compression-level
# ========================
#
# Specifies:
#
# The compression level that is passed to the zlib library when
# compressing buffered content.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Positive number ranging from 0 to 9.
#
# Default value:
#
# 1
#
# Notes:
#
# Compressing the data more takes usually longer than
# compressing it less or not compressing it at all. Which level
# is best depends on the connection between Privoxy and the
# client. If you can't be bothered to benchmark it for yourself,
# you should stick with the default and keep compression
# disabled.
#
# If compression is disabled, the compression level is
# irrelevant.
#
# Examples:
#
# # Best speed (compared to the other levels)
# compression-level 1
#
# # Best compression
# compression-level 9
#
# # No compression. Only useful for testing as the added header
# # slightly increases the amount of data that has to be sent.
# # If your benchmark shows that using this compression level
# # is superior to using no compression at all, the benchmark
# # is likely to be flawed.
# compression-level 0
#
#
#compression-level 1
#
# 6.15. client-header-order
# ==========================
#
# Specifies:
#
# The order in which client headers are sorted before forwarding
# them.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Client header names delimited by spaces or tabs
#
# Default value:
#
# None
#
# Notes:
#
# By default Privoxy leaves the client headers in the order they
# were sent by the client. Headers are modified in-place, new
# headers are added at the end of the already existing headers.
#
# The header order can be used to fingerprint client requests
# independently of other headers like the User-Agent.
#
# This directive allows to sort the headers differently to
# better mimic a different User-Agent. Client headers will be
# emitted in the order given, headers whose name isn't
# explicitly specified are added at the end.
#
# Note that sorting headers in an uncommon way will make
# fingerprinting actually easier. Encrypted headers are not
# affected by this directive.
#
#client-header-order Host \
# Accept \
# Accept-Language \
# Accept-Encoding \
# Proxy-Connection \
# Referer \
# Cookie \
# DNT \
# If-Modified-Since \
# Cache-Control \
# Content-Length \
# Content-Type
#
#
# 6.16. client-specific-tag
# ==========================
#
# Specifies:
#
# The name of a tag that will always be set for clients that
# requested it through the webinterface.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Tag name followed by a description that will be shown in the
# webinterface
#
# Default value:
#
# None
#
# Notes:
#
# +-----------------------------------------------------+
# | Warning |
# |-----------------------------------------------------|
# |This is an experimental feature. The syntax is likely|
# |to change in future versions. |
# +-----------------------------------------------------+
#
# Client-specific tags allow Privoxy admins to create different
# profiles and let the users chose which one they want without
# impacting other users.
#
# One use case is allowing users to circumvent certain blocks
# without having to allow them to circumvent all blocks. This is
# not possible with the enable-remote-toggle feature because it
# would bluntly disable all blocks for all users and also affect
# other actions like filters. It also is set globally which
# renders it useless in most multi-user setups.
#
# After a client-specific tag has been defined with the
# client-specific-tag directive, action sections can be
# activated based on the tag by using a CLIENT-TAG pattern. The
# CLIENT-TAG pattern is evaluated at the same priority as URL
# patterns, as a result the last matching pattern wins. Tags
# that are created based on client or server headers are
# evaluated later on and can overrule CLIENT-TAG and URL
# patterns!
#
# The tag is set for all requests that come from clients that
# requested it to be set. Note that "clients" are differentiated
# by IP address, if the IP address changes the tag has to be
# requested again.
#
# Clients can request tags to be set by using the CGI interface
# http://config.privoxy.org/client-tags. The specific tag
# description is only used on the web page and should be phrased
# in away that the user understand the effect of the tag.
#
# Examples:
#
# # Define a couple of tags, the described effect requires action sections
# # that are enabled based on CLIENT-TAG patterns.
# client-specific-tag circumvent-blocks Overrule blocks but do not affect other actions
# disable-content-filters Disable content-filters but do not affect other actions
#
#
#
# 6.17. client-tag-lifetime
# ==========================
#
# Specifies:
#
# How long a temporarily enabled tag remains enabled.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Time in seconds.
#
# Default value:
#
# 60
#
# Notes:
#
# +-----------------------------------------------------+
# | Warning |
# |-----------------------------------------------------|
# |This is an experimental feature. The syntax is likely|
# |to change in future versions. |
# +-----------------------------------------------------+
#
# In case of some tags users may not want to enable them
# permanently, but only for a short amount of time, for example
# to circumvent a block that is the result of an overly-broad
# URL pattern.
#
# The CGI interface http://config.privoxy.org/client-tags
# therefore provides a "enable this tag temporarily" option. If
# it is used, the tag will be set until the client-tag-lifetime
# is over.
#
# Examples:
#
# # Increase the time to life for temporarily enabled tags to 3 minutes
# client-tag-lifetime 180
#
#
#
# 6.18. trust-x-forwarded-for
# ============================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Whether or not Privoxy should use IP addresses specified with
# the X-Forwarded-For header
#
# Type of value:
#
# 0 or one
#
# Default value:
#
# 0
#
# Notes:
#
# +-----------------------------------------------------+
# | Warning |
# |-----------------------------------------------------|
# |This is an experimental feature. The syntax is likely|
# |to change in future versions. |
# +-----------------------------------------------------+
#
# If clients reach Privoxy through another proxy, for example a
# load balancer, Privoxy can't tell the client's IP address from
# the connection. If multiple clients use the same proxy, they
# will share the same client tag settings which is usually not
# desired.
#
# This option lets Privoxy use the X-Forwarded-For header value
# as client IP address. If the proxy sets the header, multiple
# clients using the same proxy do not share the same client tag
# settings.
#
# This option should only be enabled if Privoxy can only be
# reached through a proxy and if the proxy can be trusted to set
# the header correctly. It is recommended that ACL are used to
# make sure only trusted systems can reach Privoxy.
#
# If access to Privoxy isn't limited to trusted systems, this
# option would allow malicious clients to change the client tags
# for other clients or increase Privoxy's memory requirements by
# registering lots of client tag settings for clients that don't
# exist.
#
# Examples:
#
# # Allow systems that can reach Privoxy to provide the client
# # IP address with a X-Forwarded-For header.
# trust-x-forwarded-for 1
#
#
#
# 6.19. receive-buffer-size
# ==========================
#
# Specifies:
#
# The size of the buffer Privoxy uses to receive data from the
# server.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Size in bytes
#
# Default value:
#
# 5000
#
# Notes:
#
# Increasing the receive-buffer-size increases Privoxy's memory
# usage but can lower the number of context switches and thereby
# reduce the cpu usage and potentially increase the throughput.
#
# This is mostly relevant for fast network connections and large
# downloads that don't require filtering.
#
# Reducing the buffer size reduces the amount of memory Privoxy
# needs to handle the request but increases the number of
# systemcalls and may reduce the throughput.
#
# A dtrace command like: "sudo dtrace -n 'syscall::read:return /
# execname == "privoxy"/ { @[execname] = llquantize(arg0, 10, 0,
# 5, 20); @m = max(arg0)}'" can be used to properly tune the
# receive-buffer-size. On systems without dtrace, strace or
# truss may be used as less convenient alternatives.
#
# If the buffer is too large it will increase Privoxy's memory
# footprint without any benefit. As the memory is (currently)
# cleared before using it, a buffer that is too large can
# actually reduce the throughput.
#
# Examples:
#
# # Increase the receive buffer size
# receive-buffer-size 32768
#
#
#
# 7. 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 copies log messages to the
# console window. The log detail depends on the debug directive.
#
#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
#
#
#
#forward-socks4a / 0.0.0.0:9050 .
