Written by Paul Matthews   

Privoxy will be running as a parent proxy of squid, so set the client web browser to run via the squid proxy ports and squid will then pass the information to privoxy and then back to the user filtered from adds, junk & popups.

Name: Squid
HomePage: http://www.squid-cache.org/
Function: proxy caching server for web clients

Name: Privoxy
HomePage: http://www.privoxy.org/
Function: Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy.

2. Now install it, if your running Fedora Core 5, it can now be installed via yum

 

For Fedora Core 5 & up install privoxy using yum

 

yum install privoxy

 

For Fedora Core 4 or Fedora Core 3, download and install the privoxy RPM

 

rpm -ivh privoxy-3.0.3-1.i386.rpm

 

3. Once it is installed edit the config file to listern on the privoxy server's ip-address

 

nano /etc/privoxy/config

 

config:
listen-address  192.168.0.1:8118

 

4. Now add privoxy as a squid cache peer, edit the squid.conf file
