[Privoxy-users] Privoxy on Mac Sierra

[Ian Silvester]

Hi,

If there is no Privoxy folder in Applications it would seem that the installation did not actually succeed; this would also explain why configuring the browser to use the proxy broke it's connection, since privoxy will not be running.

The installation log file is, however, placed in the Privoxy application folder; could you check both the global Applications folder and the one within the user account you were using when you installed Privoxy? In Finder these are:

Macintosh HD/Applications
Macintosh HD/Users/<your username>/Applications

If you find a Privoxy folder in either location, please post the contents of install.log to this list.

Another location worth checking is the folder in which the actual executable is located. This is hidden in Finder so you will need to type Shift-Cmd-G and then in the dialog that pops up type:

/usr/local/bin

and see if privoxy is listed there.


Let me know what you find,

Ian
