[Privoxy-users] Macos… on Apple Silicon?

[Steven Kolins]

I discovered "brew services start privoxy” in the “More info” of the 4.0.0 installer. That worked (± the permissions and dir changes?) Anyway, it is running with my config etc files from the previous generations of using it.

So yes, it works, ± tweaking.

I checked permissions, and locations, of various files like logfile( which I amended from the attempt at /var/log/privocy to /usr/local/var/log/privoxy which was left over from migrating)… but still no joy. Not much time left this morning so I’ll poke at it later today and or tomorrow.
