privoxy for Debian ================== - Since 3.0.5 the upstream package uses the Cautious default settings instead of Medium (like 3.0.3 did). To avoid problems on upgrades of old packages, the Debian package still uses the Medium settings. You can find the different profiles in /etc/privoxy/default.action. To change the default, go to http://p.p/edit-actions-list?f=match-all (this can also be reached from http://p.p/show-status via the match-all.action edit link. p.p is a privoxy internal address, so you need to use privoxy as your HTTP proxy before you can access these URLs) and modify the default to your needs. You can either set one of the standard profiles (Cautious, Medium, or Advanced) or change every single setting using the "Edit" button. It is necessary to set "enable-edit-actions 1" (see above) in /etc/privoxy/config to use the web interface. Alternatively you can modify /etc/privoxy/match-all.action by hand. The other templates are available in /etc/privoxy/default.action (search for lines starting with "standard.". - /etc/privoxy/default.action is now owned by root, so you can not modify it via http://p.p/edit-actions-list?f=default any longer (assumed that you set "enable-edit-action 1" above). You should realize your local adaptions in /etc/privoxy/match-all.action and /etc/privoxy/user.action, so default.action can be easily upgraded by new package versions. If you do not like this change, feel free to change the owner of default.action to "privoxy" and the file is editable again. - Debian package comes with an apparmor profile /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.privoxy, which restricts access to the default paths. If you change something like the access rights of default.action above, you may have to adapt the apparmor profile accordingly and reload the new profile using apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.privoxy If you intend to run multiple instances of privoxy, you should place all configuration in /etc/privoxy and use something matching /run/privoxy*.pid as your PID file.
