Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if by default it uses many more filters than in the tests, but Privaxy uses around 100mb by default on Windows ( (I realise RAM usage will increase with number of filters used) and internet browsing feels slow. ~~Is there a way to run it silently without the console window?~~ I found out how to run Privaxy on Windows without a console window, using an old method.

Internet Speed Test:

Same speed with and without Privaxy, but there is a noticeable delay of a second or two when loading pages while Privaxy is running, while the same pages load instantly without Privaxy.

Maybe HDD throttling? Not sure what the limiting factor is.

It seems to work fine. Looks like the beauty of Rust :)

I tried following the instruction but I ended up getting the below.

Caused by: hook call to sh returned a bad status ===============================

Any idea on what could be the reason?

Thanks!

Building the web frontend kept failing immediately until I ran "rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown"

edit: Should probably mention. This is on a Macbook Pro with M1.

I've tried both *.dropbox.com and just dropbox.com, and in both cases subdomains continue to generate TLS handshake errors in the log. Adding each offending subdomain fixes it.

I also noticed that the UI says that domains that have handshake failures will be automatically added to the exclusion list, but that doesn't seem to be happening in my case.

Context: MacOS, pre-built binary

I have same issue like https://github.com/Barre/privaxy/issues/18 but on arm64, nodejs already upgrade (18.9). warning: web_frontend (bin "web_frontend") generated 2 warnings Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 1m 17s 2022-09-23T18:03:21.417497Z INFO fetching cargo artifacts 2022-09-23T18:03:21.541404Z INFO processing WASM for web_frontend 2022-09-23T18:03:21.546225Z INFO calling wasm-bindgen for web_frontend 2022-09-23T18:03:21.549376Z ERROR ❌ error error from HTML pipeline

To be added to here:

1. Navigate to the web gui at `http://127.0.0.1:8000`, click on "Download CA certificate".
2. Install the downloaded certificate locally.

I'll open a pull request

Hi, building the web frontend fails with the above error.

Seems to be related to https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-forms/issues/31), since running 'npm install -D @tailwindcss/forms' fixes the error.

After doing some research I've come up with the ultimate solution Adding login plist Note that this is for Mac only. You'll have to edit a little bit in the plist and it'll be more clear when you open the file You'll have to put into the LaunchAgent folder and run sudo launchctl load "path to plist" Thank you I just wasted 3 hours

I see it's possible to add custom individual filters to Privaxy, but can't see how to add custom filterlists. Is this possible, e.g. by adding it to a config file somewhere?

Hi @Barre

I have been able to run privaxy from source locally on my Mac and made it available(changing let ip = [0, 0, 0, 0] ) on my home network and connected a android device using proxy on wifi but the certificate is causing an issue even though I installed certificate on my android device. it shows following error

Your Connection is not private

NET:ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID.

I have no problem browsing on my Mac if connected to same proxy and it is effectively blocking all ads. I want to have this on entire home network so that I don't have to install on all devices.

In application logs I am seeing

Unable to perform handshake for host: go-updater.brave.com:443. Consider excluding it from blocking. The service may not tolerate TLS interception.

Any help here is appreciated.

Thanks

I know this is currently on purpose, however, many of us would like to use this in our home environments. I've built a docker container with privaxy, but it doesn't work correctly with your restriction. Please remove this restriction.
