Privoxy is an open source proxy server that can help you control what your users connect to on the Internet. Since it is free for personal or corporate use, the documentation is somewhat limited, but that’s what this article is for. Go ahead and download Privoxy. I’m working on Windows XP, but this tutorial should be useful for other operating systems.

Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. It has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.

Privoxy is Free Software and licensed under the GPL2.
