To install Privoxy on OpenBSD, follow these steps:
Open a terminal window on your OpenBSD system.
Use the pkg_add
command to install Privoxy. Input the following command in the terminal window:
sudo pkg_add privoxy
If you do not have the sudo
command installed, you can use the su
command to switch to the root
user and then run the pkg_add
command.
After the installation is complete, you can start Privoxy by running the following command:
sudo /etc/rc.d/privoxy start
If you want to make Privoxy start automatically at boot time, you can enable the privoxy
service by running the following command:
sudo rcctl enable privoxy
By default, Privoxy listens on port 8118. You can configure your browser to use Privoxy by specifying the proxy settings. In Firefox, you can do this by going to the Preferences
menu, clicking the Network Settings
button, and then entering localhost
and 8118
in the HTTP Proxy
and SSL Proxy
fields.
Now you are ready to use Privoxy on your OpenBSD system!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
