[Privoxy-users] Requesting help to set up HTTPS inspection

[allamistakeo21 at icloud.com]

Hi, 

I’m a long time user of Privoxy, which worked perfectly on my Mac, until I had to rebuild it, and now I can’t get HTTPS inspection to work anymore. 
When I test my setup by visiting https://config.privoxy.org <https://config.privoxy.org/> then 
Safari just keeps attempting to load the webpage forever; 
Firefox returns the following error message: 

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to config.privoxy.org. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR


Following the instructions on https://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/contact.html here is potentially useful information: 

The exact Privoxy version I am using: 4.0.0 
The operating system and versions I run Privoxy on: macOS 15.7.2 (24G317)
I also tried on macOS 14.8.2 (23J119) without success 
The name, platform, and version of the browser I am using: Safari 26.1 (20622.2.10.11.2) and Firefox 144.0
The URL where the problem occurred, or some way for us to duplicate the problem: https://config.privoxy.org/ 
Whether your version of Privoxy is one supplied by the Privoxy developers, or if you got your copy somewhere else: installed using MacPorts 
I have carefully followed the instructions on the following page to configure HTTPS inspection: https://ports.macports.org/port/privoxy/details/ 
I have also followed the instructions in the Privoxy user manual but this didn’t help: https://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/config.html#HTTPS-INSPECTION-DIRECTIVES 
Whether you are using Privoxy together with another proxy such as Tor: no 
Whether you are using a personal firewall product: no. The macOS firewall is disabled. 

HTTP inspection works, but HTTPS inspection doesn’t. 

Thanks in advance for your advice.
