Hello, I installed privoxy using homebrew. It's great, but the problem is I
can no longer view my google cameras on my mac. I want to add
home.google.com to the whitelist using "allow-access https://home.google.com",
but I can't find the config file.

When I type https://www.privoxy.org/config/ into all browsers, even after
clearing cache, I get "privoxy is not being used"

I tried finding the config in finder but nothing "privoxy" was there.

I tried using the terminal to sudo config, but the nano came up as blank.
I tried to write a new config file to that location but it said it couldn't
write out because it wasn't there.

What do I do?

Also I tried to delete privoxy entirely but that didn't work either.
ipleak.net says that I'm using privoxy no matter what I do.

So please, where can I write "allow-access https://home.google.com" and
keep using this glorious app?

Thanks. On an m1 mac and in a bit of trouble, sonder.
