Hi All,
Came across privoxy and wanted to test it out so I installed it
sudo apt-get install privoxy
And configured my browser to use the proxy at
127.0.0.1 port 8118
I keep getting the error: "The proxy server is refusing connections"
I checked the privoxy config file and the log file. Log file's empty and
the config file has a line:
listen-address localhost:8118
Would anyone have pointers on how to solve this?
Regards,
Kailash

Are you sure that privoxy is running?

So, looks like it is and it's using the correct config file.
Thanks,

be surprised if it did not, but it's worth checking.

PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.037 ms

I wonder if it's something in the config file, but I couldn't figure it out.

listening on the ipv6 localhost and not the ipv4.
A search on privoxy.org's mailing list resolved this:
http://sourceforge.net/p/ijbswa/mailman/message/30642470/
$sudo netstat -tunlp
tcp6 0 0 ::1:8118 :::* LISTEN 1601/privoxy
Went into /etc/privoxy/config and changed
listen-address localhost:8118
to
listen-address 127.0.0.1:8118
And now the issue's resolved.

direction, i.e., tell the browser to connect to localhost instead of
127.0.0.1.

whereas 127.0.0.1 is specific to IPV4.
