SYNOPSIS

filterproxy [-h-k-f<file>-p<port>-n]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the filterproxy command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

filterproxy is a perl script that acts as a generic web proxy. It is unique in that it allows "Modules" to be installed that can perform arbitrary transofrmations on HTML (or any other mime-type). Currently it filters ads, and compresses HTML content (for a 5-1 speedup on modems!) Configuration is done with web forms.

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.

-h

Show summary of options.

-f <file>

Specify an alternate config file (default is /etc/filterproxy/filterproxy.conf)

-p <port>

Specify the port to which FilterProxy will bind (default is 8888)

-n

Do not daemonize: stay connected to the terminal from which it was started and print debugging messages.
