####################################################################
#
#
# I. INTRODUCTION
# ===============
#
# This file holds the Privoxy configuration. If you modify this file,
# you will need to send a couple of requests to the proxy before any
# changes take effect.
#
# When starting Privoxy on Unix systems, give the name of this file as
# an argument. On Windows systems, Privoxy will look for this file
# with the name 'config.txt' in the same directory where Privoxy
# is installed.
#
#
# II. FORMAT OF THE CONFIGURATION FILE
# ====================================
#
# Configuration lines consist of an initial keyword followed by a
# list of values, all separated by whitespace (any number of spaces
# or tabs). For example,
#
# actionsfile default.action
#
# Indicates that the actionsfile is named 'default.action'.
#
# The '#' indicates a comment. Any part of a line following a '#'
# is ignored, except if the '#' is preceded by a '\'.
#
# Thus, by placing a # at the start of an existing configuration line,
# you can make it a comment and it will be treated as if it weren't
# there. This is called "commenting out" an option and can be useful.
#
# Note that commenting out and option and leaving it at its default
# are two completely different things! Most options behave very
# differently when unset. See the the "Effect if unset" explanation
# in each option's description for details.
#
# Long lines can be continued on the next line by using a `\' as the
# last character.
#
#
# 1. CONFIGURATION AND LOG FILE LOCATIONS
# =======================================
#
# Privoxy can (and normally does) use a number of other files for
# additional configuration, help and logging. This section of the
# configuration file tells Privoxy where to find those other files.
#
# The user running Privoxy, must have read permission for all
# configuration files, and write permission to any files that would
# be modified, such as log files and actions files.
#
#
# 1.1. confdir
# ============
#
# Specifies:
#
# The directory where the other configuration files are located
#
# Type of value:
#
# Path name
#
# Default value:
#
# /etc/privoxy (Unix) or Privoxy installation dir (Windows)
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Mandatory
#
# Notes:
#
# No trailing "/", please
#
# When development goes modular and multi-user, the blocker,
# filter, and per-user config will be stored in subdirectories of
# "confdir". For now, the configuration directory structure is
# flat, except for confdir/templates, where the HTML templates
# for CGI output reside (e.g. Privoxy's 404 error page).
#
confdir /etc/privoxy
#
# 1.2. logdir
# ===========
#
# Specifies:
#
# The directory where all logging takes place (i.e. where logfile
# and jarfile are located)
#
# Type of value:
#
# Path name
#
# Default value:
#
# /var/log/privoxy (Unix) or Privoxy installation dir (Windows)
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Mandatory
#
# Notes:
#
# No trailing "/", please
#
#logdir /var/log/privoxy
# We dont want logging
logdir
#
# 1.3. actionsfile
# ================
#
# Specifies:
#
# The actions file(s) to use
#
# Type of value:
#
# File name, relative to confdir, without the .action suffix
#
# Default values:
#
# standard # Internal purposes, no editing recommended
#
# default # Main actions file
#
# user # User customizations
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# No actions are taken at all. Simple neutral proxying.
#
# Notes:
#
# Multiple actionsfile lines are permitted, and are in fact
# recommended!
#
# The default values include standard.action, which is used
# for internal purposes and should be loaded, default.action,
# which is the "main" actions file maintained by the developers,
# and user.action, where you can make your personal additions.
#
# Actions files are where all the per site and per URL
# configuration is done for ad blocking, cookie management,
# privacy considerations, etc. There is no point in using Privoxy
# without at least one actions file.
#
actionsfile standard # Internal purpose, recommended
actionsfile default # Main actions file
actionsfile user # User customizations
#
# 1.4. filterfile
# ===============
#
# Specifies:
#
# The filter file to use
#
# Type of value:
#
# File name, relative to confdir
#
# Default value:
#
# default.filter (Unix) or default.filter.txt (Windows)
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# No textual content filtering takes place, i.e. all +filter{name}
# actions in the actions files are turned neutral.
#
# Notes:
#
# The filter file contains content modification rules that use
# regular expressions. These rules permit powerful changes on the
# content of Web pages, e.g., you could disable your favorite
# JavaScript annoyances, re-write the actual displayed text,
# or just have some fun replacing "Microsoft" with "MicroSuck"
# wherever it appears on a Web page.
#
# The +filter{name} actions rely on the relevant filter (name)
# to be defined in the filter file!
#
# A pre-defined filter file called default.filter that contains
# a bunch of handy filters for common problems is included in the
# distribution. See the section on the filter action for a list.
#
filterfile default.filter
#
# 1.5. logfile
# ============
#
# Specifies:
#
# The log file to use
#
# Type of value:
#
# File name, relative to logdir
#
# Default value:
#
# logfile (Unix) or privoxy.log (Windows)
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# No log file is used, all log messages go to the console (STDERR).
#
# Notes:
#
# The windows version will additionally log to the console.
#
# The logfile is where all logging and error messages are
# written. The level of detail and number of messages are set with
# the debug option (see below). The logfile can be useful for
# tracking down a problem with Privoxy (e.g., it's not blocking
# an ad you think it should block) but in most cases you probably
# will never look at it.
#
# Your logfile will grow indefinitely, and you will probably
# want to periodically remove it. On Unix systems, you can do
# this with a cron job (see "man cron"). For Red Hat, a logrotate
# script has been included.
#
# On SuSE Linux systems, you can place a line like
# "/var/log/privoxy.* +1024k 644 nobody.nogroup" in /etc/logfiles,
# with the effect that cron.daily will automatically archive,
# gzip, and empty the log, when it exceeds 1M size.
#
# Any log files must be writable by whatever user Privoxy is
# being run as (default on UNIX, user id is "privoxy").
#
#logfile logfile
# We dont want logging

#
# 1.6. jarfile
# ============
#
# Specifies:
#
# The file to store intercepted cookies in
#
# Type of value:
#
# File name, relative to logdir
#
# Default value:
#
# jarfile (Unix) or privoxy.jar (Windows)
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Intercepted cookies are not stored at all.
#
# Notes:
#
# The jarfile may grow to ridiculous sizes over time.
#
#jarfile jarfile
jarfile
#
# 1.7. trustfile
# ==============
#
# Specifies:
#
# The trust file to use
#
# Type of value:
#
# File name, relative to confdir
#
# Default value:
#
# Unset (commented out). When activated: trust (Unix) or trust.txt
# (Windows)
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# The entire trust mechanism is turned off.
#
# Notes:
#
# The trust mechanism is an experimental feature for building
# white-lists and should be used with care. It is NOT recommended
# for the casual user.
#
# If you specify a trust file, Privoxy will only allow access to
# sites that are specified in the trustfile. Sites can be listed
# in one of two ways:
#
# Prepending a ~ character limits access to this site only (and
# any sub-paths within this site), e.g. ~www.example.com.
#
# Or, you can designate sites as trusted referrers, by prepending
# the name with a + character. The effect is that access to
# untrusted sites will be granted -- but only if a link from this
# trusted referrer was used. The link target will then be added
# to the "trustfile" so that future, direct accesses will be
# granted. Sites added via this mechanism do not become trusted
# referrers themselves (i.e. they are added with a ~ designation).
#
# If you use the + operator in the trust file, it may grow
# considerably over time.
#
# It is recommended that Privoxy be compiled with the
# --disable-force, --disable-toggle and --disable-editor options,
# if this feature is to be used.
#
# Possible applications include limiting Internet access for
# children.
#
#trustfile trust
#
# 2. LOCAL SET-UP DOCUMENTATION
# =============================
#
# If you intend to operate Privoxy for more users than just yourself,
# it might be a good idea to let them know how to reach you, what
# you block and why you do that, your policies, etc.
#
#
# 2.1. user-manual
# ================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Location of the Privoxy User Manual.
#
# Type of value:
#
# A fully qualified URI
#
# Default value:
#
# Unset
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# http://www.privoxy.org/version/user-manual/ will be used,
# where version is the Privoxy version.
#
# Notes:
#
# The User Manual URI is used for help links from some of the
# internal CGI pages. The manual itself is normally packaged
# with the binary distributions, so you probably want to set this
# to a locally installed copy. For multi-user setups, you could
# provide a copy on a local webserver for all your users and use
# the corresponding URL here.
#
# Examples:
#
# Unix, in local filesystem:
#
# user-manual file:///usr/share/doc/privoxy-3.0.1/user-manual/index.html
#
# Windows, in local filesystem, must use forward slash notation,
# and %20 to denote spaces in path names:
#
# user-manual file:///c:/some%20dir/privoxy/user-manual/index.html
#
# Windows, UNC notation (forward slashes required again):
#
# user-manual file://///some-server/some-path/privoxy/user-manual/index.html
#
# Any platform, on local webserver (called "local-webserver"):
#
# user-manual http://local-webserver/privoxy-user-manual/
#
# WARNING!!!
#
# If set, this option should be the first option in the config
# file, because it is used while the config file is being read.
#
user-manual /usr/share/doc/privoxy/user-manual
#
# 2.2. trust-info-url
# ===================
#
# Specifies:
#
# A URL to be displayed in the error page that users will see if
# access to an untrusted page is denied.
#
# Type of value:
#
# URL
#
# Default value:
#
# Two example URL are provided
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# No links are displayed on the "untrusted" error page.
#
# Notes:
#
# The value of this option only matters if the experimental trust
# mechanism has been activated. (See trustfile above.)
#
# If you use the trust mechanism, it is a good idea to write
# up some on-line documentation about your trust policy and to
# specify the URL(s) here. Use multiple times for multiple URLs.
#
# The URL(s) should be added to the trustfile as well, so users
# don't end up locked out from the information on why they were
# locked out in the first place!
#
#trust-info-url http://www.example.com/why_we_block.html
#trust-info-url http://www.example.com/what_we_allow.html
#
# 2.3. admin-address
# ==================
#
# Specifies:
#
# An email address to reach the proxy administrator.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Email address
#
# Default value:
#
# Unset
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# No email address is displayed on error pages and the CGI user
# interface.
#
# Notes:
#
# If both admin-address and proxy-info-url are unset, the whole
# "Local Privoxy Support" box on all generated pages will not
# be shown.
#
#admin-address privoxy-admin@example.com
#
# 2.4. proxy-info-url
# ===================
#
# Specifies:
#
# A URL to documentation about the local Privoxy setup,
# configuration or policies.
#
# Type of value:
#
# URL
#
# Default value:
#
# Unset
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# No link to local documentation is displayed on error pages and
# the CGI user interface.
#
# Notes:
#
# If both admin-address and proxy-info-url are unset, the whole
# "Local Privoxy Support" box on all generated pages will not
# be shown.
#
# This URL shouldn't be blocked ;-)
#
#proxy-info-url http://www.example.com/proxy-service.html
#
# 3. DEBUGGING
# ============
#
# These options are mainly useful when tracing a problem. Note that
# you might also want to invoke Privoxy with the --no-daemon command
# line option when debugging.
#
#
# 3.1. debug
# ==========
#
# Specifies:
#
# Key values that determine what information gets logged to
# the logfile.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Integer values
#
# Default value:
#
# 12289 (i.e.: URLs plus informational and warning messages)
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Nothing gets logged.
#
# Notes:
#
# The available debug levels are:
#
# debug 1 # show each GET/POST/CONNECT request
# debug 2 # show each connection status
# debug 4 # show I/O status
# debug 8 # show header parsing
# debug 16 # log all data into the logfile
# debug 32 # debug force feature
# debug 64 # debug regular expression filter
# debug 128 # debug fast redirects
# debug 256 # debug GIF de-animation
# debug 512 # Common Log Format
# debug 1024 # debug kill pop-ups
# debug 2048 # CGI user interface
# debug 4096 # Startup banner and warnings.
# debug 8192 # Non-fatal errors
#
# To select multiple debug levels, you can either add them or
# use multiple debug lines.
#
# A debug level of 1 is informative because it will show you each
# request as it happens. 1, 4096 and 8192 are highly recommended
# so that you will notice when things go wrong. The other levels
# are probably only of interest if you are hunting down a specific
# problem. They can produce a hell of an output (especially 16).
#
# The reporting of fatal errors (i.e. ones which crash Privoxy)
# is always on and cannot be disabled.
#
# If you want to use CLF (Common Log Format), you should set
# "debug 512" ONLY and not enable anything else.
#
#debug 1 # show each GET/POST/CONNECT request
#debug 4096 # Startup banner and warnings
debug 8192 # Errors - *we highly recommended enabling this*
#
# 3.2. single-threaded
# ====================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Whether to run only one server thread
#
# Type of value:
#
# None
#
# Default value:
#
# Unset
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Multi-threaded (or, where unavailable: forked) operation,
# i.e. the ability to serve multiple requests simultaneously.
#
# Notes:
#
# This option is only there for debug purposes and you should
# never need to use it. It will drastically reduce performance.
#
#single-threaded
#
# 4. ACCESS CONTROL AND SECURITY
# ==============================
#
# This section of the config file controls the security-relevant
# aspects of Privoxy's configuration.
#
#
# 4.1. listen-address
# ===================
#
# Specifies:
#
# The IP address and TCP port on which Privoxy will listen for
# client requests.
#
# Type of value:
#
# [IP-Address]:Port
#
# Default value:
#
# 127.0.0.1:8118
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Bind to 127.0.0.1 (localhost), port 8118. This is suitable and
# recommended for home users who run Privoxy on the same machine
# as their browser.
#
# Notes:
#
# You will need to configure your browser(s) to this proxy address
# and port.
#
# If you already have another service running on port 8118, or
# if you want to serve requests from other machines (e.g. on your
# local network) as well, you will need to override the default.
#
# If you leave out the IP address, Privoxy will bind to all
# interfaces (addresses) on your machine and may become reachable
# from the Internet. In that case, consider using access control
# lists (ACL's, see below), and/or a firewall.
#
# If you open Privoxy to untrusted users, you will also want
# to turn off the enable-edit-actions and enable-remote-toggle
# options!
#
# Example:
#
# Suppose you are running Privoxy on a machine which has the
# address 192.168.0.1 on your local private network (192.168.0.0)
# and has another outside connection with a different address. You
# want it to serve requests from inside only:
#
# listen-address 192.168.0.1:8118
#
listen-address 127.0.0.1:8118
#
# 4.2. toggle
# ===========
#
# Specifies:
#
# Initial state of "toggle" status
#
# Type of value:
#
# 1 or 0
#
# Default value:
#
# 1
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Act as if toggled on
#
# Notes:
#
# If set to 0, Privoxy will start in "toggled off" mode,
# i.e. behave like a normal, content-neutral proxy where all ad
# blocking, filtering, etc are disabled. See enable-remote-toggle
# below. This is not really useful anymore, since toggling is
# much easier via the web interface than via editing the conf file.
#
# The windows version will only display the toggle icon in the
# system tray if this option is present.
#
toggle 1
#
# 4.3. enable-remote-toggle
# =========================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Whether or not the web-based toggle feature may be used
#
# Type of value:
#
# 0 or 1
#
# Default value:
#
# 1
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# The web-based toggle feature is disabled.
#
# Notes:
#
# When toggled off, Privoxy acts like a normal, content-neutral
# proxy, i.e. it acts as if none of the actions applied to
# any URL.
#
# For the time being, access to the toggle feature can not be
# controlled separately by "ACLs" or HTTP authentication, so that
# everybody who can access Privoxy (see "ACLs" and listen-address
# above) can toggle it for all users. So this option is not
# recommended for multi-user environments with untrusted users.
#
# Note that you must have compiled Privoxy with support for this
# feature, otherwise this option has no effect.
#
enable-remote-toggle 0
#
# 4.4. enable-edit-actions
# ========================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Whether or not the web-based actions file editor may be used
#
# Type of value:
#
# 0 or 1
#
# Default value:
#
# 1
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# The web-based actions file editor is disabled.
#
# Notes:
#
# For the time being, access to the editor can not be controlled
# separately by "ACLs" or HTTP authentication, so that everybody
# who can access Privoxy (see "ACLs" and listen-address above)
# can modify its configuration for all users. So this option is
# not recommended for multi-user environments with untrusted users.
#
# Note that you must have compiled Privoxy with support for this
# feature, otherwise this option has no effect.
#
enable-edit-actions 0
#
# 4.5. ACLs: permit-access and deny-access
# ========================================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Who can access what.
#
# Type of value:
#
# src_addr[/src_masklen] [dst_addr[/dst_masklen]]
#
# Where src_addr and dst_addr are IP addresses in dotted decimal
# notation or valid DNS names, and src_masklen and dst_masklen are
# subnet masks in CIDR notation, i.e. integer values from 2 to 30
# representing the length (in bits) of the network address. The
# masks and the whole destination part are optional.
#
# Default value:
#
# Unset
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Don't restrict access further than implied by listen-address
#
# Notes:
#
# Access controls are included at the request of ISPs and systems
# administrators, and are not usually needed by individual
# users. For a typical home user, it will normally suffice to
# ensure that Privoxy only listens on the localhost (127.0.0.1)
# or internal (home) network address by means of the listen-address
# option.
#
# Please see the warnings in the FAQ that this proxy is not
# intended to be a substitute for a firewall or to encourage
# anyone to defer addressing basic security weaknesses.
#
# Multiple ACL lines are OK. If any ACLs are specified, then
# the Privoxy talks only to IP addresses that match at least one
# permit-access line and don't match any subsequent deny-access
# line. In other words, the last match wins, with the default
# being deny-access.
#
# If Privoxy is using a forwarder (see forward below) for a
# particular destination URL, the dst_addr that is examined is
# the address of the forwarder and NOT the address of the ultimate
# target. This is necessary because it may be impossible for the
# local Privoxy to determine the IP address of the ultimate target
# (that's often what gateways are used for).
#
# You should prefer using IP addresses over DNS names, because
# the address lookups take time. All DNS names must resolve! You
# can not use domain patterns like "*.org" or partial domain
# names. If a DNS name resolves to multiple IP addresses, only
# the first one is used.
#
# Denying access to particular sites by ACL may have undesired
# side effects if the site in question is hosted on a machine
# which also hosts other sites.
#
# Examples:
#
# Explicitly define the default behavior if no ACL and
# listen-address are set: "localhost" is OK. The absence of a
# dst_addr implies that all destination addresses are OK:
#
# permit-access localhost
#
# Allow any host on the same class C subnet as www.privoxy.org
# access to nothing but www.example.com:
#
# permit-access www.privoxy.org/24 www.example.com/32
#
# Allow access from any host on the 26-bit subnet 192.168.45.64
# to anywhere, with the exception that 192.168.45.73 may not
# access www.dirty-stuff.example.com:
#
# permit-access 192.168.45.64/26
# deny-access 192.168.45.73 www.dirty-stuff.example.com
#
#
# 4.6. buffer-limit
# =================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Maximum size of the buffer for content filtering.
#
# Type of value:
#
# Size in Kbytes
#
# Default value:
#
# 4096
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Use a 4MB (4096 KB) limit.
#
# Notes:
#
# For content filtering, i.e. the +filter and +deanimate-gif
# actions, it is necessary that Privoxy buffers the entire document
# body. This can be potentially dangerous, since a server could
# just keep sending data indefinitely and wait for your RAM to
# exhaust -- with nasty consequences. Hence this option.
#
# When a document buffer size reaches the buffer-limit, it is
# flushed to the client unfiltered and no further attempt to filter
# the rest of the document is made. Remember that there may be
# multiple threads running, which might require up to buffer-limit
# Kbytes each, unless you have enabled "single-threaded" above.
#
buffer-limit 4096
#
# 5. FORWARDING
# =============
#
# This feature allows routing of HTTP requests through a chain
# of multiple proxies. It can be used to better protect privacy
# and confidentiality when accessing specific domains by routing
# requests to those domains through an anonymous public proxy
# or to use a caching proxy to speed up browsing. Or chaining to
# a parent proxy may be necessary because the machine that Privoxy
# runs on has no direct Internet access.
#
# Also specified here are SOCKS proxies. Privoxy supports the SOCKS
# 4 and SOCKS 4A protocols.
#
#
# 5.1. forward
# ============
#
# Specifies:
#
# To which parent HTTP proxy specific requests should be routed.
#
# Type of value:
#
# target_pattern http_parent[:port]
#
# where target_pattern is a URL pattern that specifies to which
# requests (i.e. URLs) this forward rule shall apply. Use /
# to denote "all URLs". http_parent[:port] is the DNS name or
# IP address of the parent HTTP proxy through which the requests
# should be forwarded, optionally followed by its listening port
# (default: 8080). Use a single dot (.) to denote "no forwarding".
#
# Default value:
#
# Unset
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Don't use parent HTTP proxies.
#
# Notes:
#
# If http_parent is ".", then requests are not forwarded to
# another HTTP proxy but are made directly to the web servers.
#
# Multiple lines are OK, they are checked in sequence, and the
# last match wins.
#
# Examples:
#
# Everything goes to an example anonymizing proxy, except SSL on
# port 443 (which it doesn't handle):
#
# forward / anon-proxy.example.org:8080
# forward :443 .
#
# Everything goes to our example ISP's caching proxy, except for
# requests to that ISP's sites:
#
# forward / caching-proxy.example-isp.net:8000
# forward .example-isp.net .
#
#
# 5.2. forward-socks4 and forward-socks4a
# =======================================
#
# Specifies:
#
# Through which SOCKS proxy (and to which parent HTTP proxy)
# specific requests should be routed.
#
# Type of value:
#
# target_pattern socks_proxy[:port] http_parent[:port]
#
# where target_pattern is a URL pattern that specifies to which
# requests (i.e. URLs) this forward rule shall apply. Use / to
# denote "all URLs". http_parent and socks_proxy are IP addresses
# in dotted decimal notation or valid DNS names (http_parent may
# be "." to denote "no HTTP forwarding"), and the optional port
# parameters are TCP ports, i.e. integer values from 1 to 64535
#
# Default value:
#
# Unset
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Don't use SOCKS proxies.
#
# Notes:
#
# Multiple lines are OK, they are checked in sequence, and the
# last match wins.
#
# The difference between forward-socks4 and forward-socks4a
# is that in the SOCKS 4A protocol, the DNS resolution of the
# target hostname happens on the SOCKS server, while in SOCKS 4
# it happens locally.
#
# If http_parent is ".", then requests are not forwarded to another
# HTTP proxy but are made (HTTP-wise) directly to the web servers,
# albeit through a SOCKS proxy.
#
# Examples:
#
# From the company example.com, direct connections are made to all
# "internal" domains, but everything outbound goes through their
# ISP's proxy by way of example.com's corporate SOCKS 4A gateway
# to the Internet.
#
# forward-socks4a / socks-gw.example.com:1080 www-cache.example-isp.net:8080
# forward .example.com .
#
# A rule that uses a SOCKS 4 gateway for all destinations but no
# HTTP parent looks like this:
#
# forward-socks4 / socks-gw.example.com:1080 .
#
#
# UNCOMMENT THE FOLLOWING TO USE TOR OVER PRIVOXY
#
#forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .
#
# 6. WINDOWS GUI OPTIONS
# ======================
#
# Privoxy has a number of options specific to the Windows GUI
# interface:
#
# If "activity-animation" is set to 1, the Privoxy icon will animate
# when "Privoxy" is active. To turn off, set to 0.
#
#activity-animation 1
# If "log-messages" is set to 1, Privoxy will log messages to the
# console window:
#
#log-messages 1
# If "log-buffer-size" is set to 1, the size of the log buffer,
# i.e. the amount of memory used for the log messages displayed in
# the console window, will be limited to "log-max-lines" (see below).
#
# Warning: Setting this to 0 will result in the buffer to grow
# infinitely and eat up all your memory!
#
#log-buffer-size 1
# log-max-lines is the maximum number of lines held in the log
# buffer. See above.
#
#log-max-lines 200
# If "log-highlight-messages" is set to 1, Privoxy will highlight
# portions of the log messages with a bold-faced font:
#
#log-highlight-messages 1
# The font used in the console window:
#
#log-font-name Comic Sans MS
# Font size used in the console window:
#
#log-font-size 8
# "show-on-task-bar" controls whether or not Privoxy will appear as
# a button on the Task bar when minimized:
#
#show-on-task-bar 0
# If "close-button-minimizes" is set to 1, the Windows close button
# will minimize Privoxy instead of closing the program (close with
# the exit option on the File menu).
#
#close-button-minimizes 1
# The "hide-console" option is specific to the MS-Win console version
# of Privoxy. If this option is used, Privoxy will disconnect from
# and hide the command console.
#
#hide-console
