			'''Introduction''':

			An HTTP, or web, proxy server provides a gateway between your browser and the rest of the Internet. A proxy server replaces your identity (IP address, in this case) with its own, making it possible to browse more privately, securely, and can offer additional features depending upon the proxy.

			Privoxy is geared towards filtering pop-up advertisements and regular web advertisements. Privoxy is based off Junkbuster but provides better filtering. Privoxy also provides all of the features offered by the "Normal Caching Proxy".
