[Privoxy-users] Binding to port 80

[Justin Fielding]

Hi,

I've just started playing around with Privoxy and it seems like just what I
need.  I have a requirement to intercept and divert web traffic for certain
domains and forward that to an upstream SOCKS proxy.

This works great with my initial testing (in terms of privoxy identifying
and forwarding the correct traffic) but my issue is now redirecting all
HTTP traffic on the network via Privoxy.

The only real option I have for doing this is to use a route-map on the
core network which diverts all traffic on ports 80/443 to the privoxy host.

Now my issue.  I cannot change the destination port while diverting the
traffic (I can only change the next-hop IP) so need to bind privoxy to
ports 80/443.  Unfortunately when I try to bind to port 80 I get hte
following error:

Fatal error: can't bind to INADDR_ANY:80: Permission denied

Any ideas why I'm getting this and how to resolve?  Privoxy is running on a
dedicated Ubuntu VM and there should be no other processes binding to port
80.

Thanks,

Justin.
