Thank you for the feed back, I am aware the program has it short coming
with regards to SSL issue, it just the hostname/domains that I wish to
block, however, saying this, the privoxy program is running on the
router only , not on any other device's or computers. Since TV's and etc
now go through this proxy to protect my privacy since TV's are a very
chatty device. I see in the logs, the request for non SSL hostname are
blocked from time to time, and it seem to be a mix bag for SSL request
as most time there is no SSL request in the logs, could this last part
be related to having no setting in the network / proxies property box on
any devices or computers themselves! All device get their IP by the
router DHCP only.
P.S Privoxy and DHCP run on the same router, the curl section worked the
lather part is a no go.
