+Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for
+protecting privacy, modifying web page data, managing cookies,
+controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other
+obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration
+and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes.
+Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user
+networks.

+
+Before executing the script, you will need to create
+a privoxy user and group. To do that, run the following commands:
+
+ /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 206 privoxy
+
+ /usr/sbin/useradd -u 206 -g 206 -c "Web Proxy" \
+ -d /dev/null -s /bin/false privoxy
+
+(please note that the \ is just to split the command up, the whole
+'useradd' is one line)
+
+To run privoxy at boot, the following code needs to
+be added to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.privoxy ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.privoxy start
+ fi
