I've recently discovered Privoxy. I managed to download (v3.0.34), build, and install (via some assistance from the mailing list) it in a LXC container. Works well. I even managed to get HTTPS Inspection working - yay. However, 2 days ago I tried accessing the documentation but it appears the whole domain has vanished - even the mailing list no longer comes up! Could have been a 5 star rating otherwise.

I use privoxy since more than 10 years on my Macs and for all portable devices (via WiFi and Proxyserver) - it works great and with the https-feature its ready for the latest needs. It is small, fast, reliable and the CPU-usage is very small. Just great. A big thank you for developing, maintaining and upgrading the program. At the moment, there is only one thing I miss: an easy to activate EU-cookie-no-feature
