Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities
for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers,
controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk.
Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit
individual needs and tastes. It 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:
groupadd -g 206 privoxy
useradd -u 206 -g 206 -c "Web Proxy" -d /dev/null -s /bin/false privoxy
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
Then add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.privoxy ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.privoxy stop
fi
