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.
