p.p

[agucova]

Hello, so after my latest issue, I fixed my apache configuration (by basically, resetting everything).
My proxy.pac is is working, I have set up the automatic proxy config, based on "127.0.0.1/proxy.pac"
Now, I cannot access p.p.
I was wondering, how I can test everything is working?
PD: Both privoxy & squid, seem to be running
PD2: If I set manually the http proxy to 3128, it seems on squid's access.log, that is working, but after some correct results, it starts to make weird TCP_MISS_ABORTED, and doesn't let me into webpages, or only few.

What are the results of these troubleshooting steps?

• Test to make sure Apache is running properly:
  • sudo apachectl stop && sudo apachectl start
  • Browse to http://127.0.0.1/ and see if you see the test homepage.
• If Apache isn't working on your OS X, fix it. Google errors, see apple discussions.
• If it is working, copy a proxy.pac file to your /Library/WebServer directory and make sure you can browse to http://127.0.0.1/proxy.pac
• These commands will tell you if squid and privoxy are up and running and bound to their default ports:
  • sudo lsof -i ':3128'
  • sudo lsof -i ':8118'
• Look for the running processes:
  • ps -ef | grep squid
  • ps -ef | grep privoxy
• Manually set the proxy to privoxy only, 127.0.0.1:8118, and browse to http://p.p.
• Manually set the proxy to squid:privoxy, 127.0.0.1:3128, and browse to http://p.p.
• Scan access and error logs in /opt/local/var/…

I can go to 127.0.0.1/proxy.pac, and shows perfectly.
Squid is running and bond to 3128.
It seems that privoxy doesn't run on boot, I need to initiate it manually, but I have the LaunchService, active.
Is there a way I can uninstall any changes made by osxfortress? (I want a clean install)

[agucova]

The launchservice runs /usr/local/sbin/privoxy /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config
But privoxy is installed on /opt/local/sbin/privoxy
That's why its not starting. I changed it to the correct path, now it works.

After starting privoxy manually, and setting the proxy to privoxy (8118), I can see privoxy working perfectly. (and my internet)
When setting it to, squid (3128), it starts to make the same weird TCP_MISS_ABORTED (according to the log), to almost all of the requests. And doesn't show p.p.

That all sound strange. Are you using Macports or Brew to install privoxy and squid? Macports puts everything in /opt/local, and sudo port load privoxy creates a launch daemon that points there.

Don't think of osxfortress as an app to install/uninstall, but simply a secure, privatizing configuration for proxy services you install through a package manager.

Sounds like possibly a Macports/brew install conflict. Just choose one package manager.
