This guide assumes that you are running a version of DD-WRT with Privoxy included into the DD-WRT firmware; it does not cover installing Privoxy from Optware although many of the same instructions might still apply.

Privoxy basic configuration

Set up custom config for DD-WRT's built-in privoxy

In order to customise Privoxy's configuration files, you will need to

  • set up read/write storage i.e. JFFS2 or USB
  • enable custom privoxy config (in GUI)
  • paste contents of /tmp/privoxy.conf into custom config window in GUI
  • turn on enable-edit-actions
  • adjust the config to use /jffs/privoxy as confdir
  • copy any relevant files from old confdir to new confdir
  • now visit config.privoxy.org in your browser and you'll find "Edit" buttons next to the actions files

Add exception for a site blocked in error

  • edit user.actions
  • scroll down until you find a ruleset that starts with:

-block, -crunch-incoming-cookies, -crunch-outgoing-cookies, -fast-redirects, -filter, -hide-referrer, -prevent-compression

  • add a suitable URL pattern to that section and voila, you're unblocked.
