PolitePol is a privacy-oriented web proxy that can be used to protect your online privacy and security. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PolitePol on Void Linux.
Before we start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
To get started, we need to install some dependencies that PolitePol requires. Open up the terminal and run the following command to install all the required dependencies:
sudo xbps-install -S libev libustream-ssl
This will install libev and libustream-ssl required by PolitePol to function properly.
Next, we need to download PolitePol from the Github repository. You can do this by typing the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/taroved/pol
This will download the latest version of PolitePol from the Github repository.
Once you have downloaded PolitePol, navigate to the directory where it was downloaded and compile it using the following command:
cd pol
make
sudo make install
The above commands will compile and install PolitePol on your system.
After installation, we need to set up the configuration file for PolitePol. The configuration file needs to be located in /etc/pol/policy.json. You can create the file by using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/pol/policy.json
Paste the following in the editor:
{
"policy": [
{
"matches": [
{
"url-filter": ".*"
}
],
"action": {
"type": "prevent"
}
}
]
}
Save the file and exit.
To start PolitePol, simply type the following command in the terminal:
sudo pol
This will start the PolitePol web proxy on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PolitePol on Void Linux. Now you can use the web proxy and protect your online privacy and security.
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!
