Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy, modifying web page data, managing cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks. Before executing the script, you will need to create a privoxy user and group. To do that, run the following commands: /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 206 privoxy /usr/sbin/useradd -u 206 -g 206 -c "Web Proxy" \ -d /dev/null -s /bin/false privoxy (please note that the \ is just to split the command up, the whole 'useradd' is one line) To run privoxy at boot, the following code needs to be added to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.privoxy ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.privoxy start fi
