# Privoxy Is So Good

It's so simple and elegant. I've met this program while configurin
g I2P, so to give you an example about that, just put

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
forward-socks5 / localhost:9050 .
forward .i2p localhost:4444
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

into the config file. Then your computer will use I2P proxy whenev
er it meets an I2P adress, and Tor for everything else. Only 2 lin
es! And you don't have to restart the daemon. How simple it is!

You can block ads with it too. But since it can make your fingerpr
int more unique, it's your choice.

The default port is 8118 and you should use HTTP proxy for it, not
SOCKS. For example, if you're going to use it for yt-dlp, put

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
--proxy http://localhost:8118/
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

into the config file.
