単純なproxyとして使う場合は、全てのコネクションを直接接続にforwardすればよい。「全てのコネクション」は"/"で表現されて、「直接接続」は"."で表現される。rootになって、configファイルを編集する。
# vi /etc/privoxy/config
forwardセクションがあるので、その最後に適切な設定を追加する。
# 5.1. forward
# =============
#
# Specifies:
#
# To which parent HTTP proxy specific requests should be routed.
#
# Type of value:
#
# target_pattern http_parent[:port]
#
# where target_pattern is a URL pattern that specifies to which
# requests (i.e. URLs) this forward rule shall apply. Use /
# to denote "all URLs". http_parent[:port] is the DNS name or
# IP address of the parent HTTP proxy through which the requests
# should be forwarded, optionally followed by its listening port
# (default: 8080). Use a single dot (.) to denote "no forwarding".
#
# Default value:
#
# Unset
#
# Effect if unset:
#
# Don't use parent HTTP proxies.
#
# Notes:
#
# If http_parent is ".", then requests are not forwarded to
# another HTTP proxy but are made directly to the web servers.
#
# Multiple lines are OK, they are checked in sequence, and the
# last match wins.
#
# Examples:
#
# Everything goes to an example parent proxy, except SSL on port
# 443 (which it doesn't handle):
#
# forward / parent-proxy.example.org:8080
# forward :443 .
#
#
# Everything goes to our example ISP's caching proxy, except for
# requests to that ISP's sites:
#
# forward / caching-proxy.isp.example.net:8000
# forward .isp.example.net .
forward / .
ブラウザの設定で、ProxyのアドレスとポートをPrivoxyの動いているサーバのアドレスとポート(8118)に変更する。
