Privoxy Add-on v1.0 (ReadyNAS NV+/NV/Duo/1100/600/X6)
Privoxy Add-on for ReadyNAS sparc devices - 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. This add-on is based on Privoxy v3.0.3
Requirements: RAIDiator 4.1.4+
Platform: Sparc (NV/NV+/1100/Duo)
Addon Version: v1.0
Download link: http://devrandom.blogsite.org/projects/ ... on_1.0.tar
Privoxy Version: v3.0.3
Privoxy Homepage: http://www.privoxy.org
Usage:
After installation Privoxy will start listening to default port 8118. Then in your browser, change the proxy to your ReadyNAS' IP Address and put 8118 in the port number.
If you have the Squid Add-on installed you can chain Squid to Privoxy. The main benefit of chaining Squid and Privoxy is you decrease the resource usage of Privoxy because of the local web cache provided by Squid. What this gives you is increased web performance because of Squid's local web cache plus the ad and banner filtering feature of Privoxy. To chain Squid to Privoxy you just need to add the following line in Squid's configuration file (squid.conf)
The first line assumes Privoxy is running on the same machine and listens to port 8118. If Privoxy is running on a different machine then change localhost to the IP Address of the machine running Privoxy. The second line forces squid to forward all requests to Privoxy.
Cheers!

- Can you try with the following setup and let me know which one is slow?
1) Squid + Privoxy
2) Squid only
3) Privoxy only
I have this running on my NSLU2 and do not have this problem. Can you pm me your config files for both squid and privoxy? - Unscientific speed test is as follows:
1. Squid alone - reasonably fast
2. Privoxy alone - pretty slow -- part of this may be due to the browser inability to pre-render pages
3. Privoxy + squid - slooooow.
Squid.conf is on its way via PM. Privoxy config is default per your add-on. lalaw wrote: Unscientific speed test is as follows:

Was away on holiday. Checking my inbox now...- Is there any news about this add-on ?
Or another performance feedback ?

No there's been no update yet and I've not been able to simulate the performance problem reported before. I'll produce an updated one using the latest stable build and see if that solves the performance issue.- Thank you, I stay tuned...
- Thank you !
I won't be able to test it right away...
Is there someone about to carry on a few perf tests ? - Has the download moved or is it just no longer available? I'm in real need of being able to set up a proxy server on my duo and this looks exactly like what i need :)
- Sorry was on vacation. The site is up now. Happy new year!
