Thanks for your article. Here is some modifications that I made (may be usefull to your readers). As I normally run Privoxy on my laptop, I needed to set a different local port than 8118 (because the local privoxy uses the 8118). So I do: ssh -N -f -L 8119:127.0.0.1:8118 remoteuser@serveraddress (Also added the -f to put the process to background). Then, I set in the browser a proxy 127.0.0.1:8119. Additionally, as I have have a lot of customized filters, I want the remote computer to filter nothing, and the filtering to be done by the local Privoxy. On the local computer, in /etc/privoxy/config (on GNU/Linux) I set the line forward / 127.0.0.1:8119 and, on the remote server, I edit /etc/privoxy/config and set toggle 0 so that it does not filter anything. Then I set in the browser 127.0.0.1:8118 (the local privoxy). Hope this helps someone. Cheers, Petko Hello Erik!
