[b]If it’s not running, i don’t have any problem to surf on the web.

How can i open the port 8118 ?

Thanks and sorry for my bad English[/b]

OK ! It’s done !!!

In Settings/Troubleshooting/Redirect Settings, I delete the 80 and now, it perfectly works.

Are you use a third party firewall and have you set avast to allow all in the applications of the firewall, not necessary for the windows firewall.

Also in the web shield settings you could try ticking scan well known browser proesses only and see if that helps.

All you have done is stop avast from scanning your web traffic :o

Oups :-X

I use the windows firewall by default. And I never touched to the settings of avast (I just delete the port 80 but it’s not the good solution)

Ok, i’ll try it !

Good find Asyn :slight_smile:

Apparently, instead of deleting port 80, you add port 8118 for privoxy.

Thanks craig. The forum’s search function can be quite useful. :wink:

Yep. :slight_smile:

I do it but it doesn’t work… I dont understand why… If someone has an idea…

EDIT: Sorry, it works! I forget to check the “ticking scan processes from well known browser processes only”

Well I think that is likely to stop scanning privoxy traffic, and presumably you don’t want to do that ?

Did you also uncheck the Ignore local communication option as the privoxy traffic would probably be considered local traffic.

I didn’t uncheck the Ignore local communication option… I’ll try it and i’ll edit my message.

EDIT : No, if i uncheck the local communication, it doesn’t work. I must check the “ticking scan processes from well known browser processes only”.
