    Hi,

    I've installed both tor and privoxy and have altered the bits Tor says I
    need to alter in /etc/privoxy/config, started the process, altered
    Firefox so both http and https point to localhost 8118 as the proxy.

    All looks good to this point. Restart Firefox and all I get is an error
    503 from Privoxy. I get this irrespective of the URL I want.

    Any clues what I'm doing wrong and more over, how to resolve it? I have
    no firewall running on this box (SELinux is enabled though) and only a
    minimal one on the router.

    TTFN

    Paul
