I need help getting Privoxy running on openSUSE Leap 15.2
I'm helping someone set it up and I'm not familiar with how openSUSE Leap 15.2 does things. I want to setup Privoxy so it will run on boot and I don't know how to set it up beyond installing the Privoxy package via YaST.
Here are the files that were installed through YaST: https://build.opensuse.org/package/s...3A15.2/privoxy |
Because privoxy is in the standard Repo as you can see:
Code:
LANG=C zypper se -s privox Code:
zypper in privoxy Code:
systemctl start privoxy.service Code:
systemctl enable privoxy.service /etc/privoxy which is a link to /var/lib/privoxy/etc |
Thanks that worked. Before it couldn't find the privoxy.service. I had to use
Code:
sudo rcprivoxy restart https://sourceforge.net/p/ijbswa/support-requests/1691/ |
I had to create service files for rcprivoxy. I'm sure there is a better way to do this but here are my service files to help whoever has issues with getting chromium/firefox to use privoxy. I used a timer to run "rcprivoxy restart." These are my first service files and I'm sure someone can come up with something better but this worked for me. I put these in
Code:
/etc/systemd/system/ rcprivoxy.timer Code:

Code:
rpm -ql privoxy | grep -i service |

Edit: I want to make clear that I installed OpenSUSE for them after they tried several other distributions like Manjaro, Fedora, Linux Mint, Debian, & Ubuntu. It was the most stable, newbie friendly, and it just worked. I was left impressed with OpenSUSE because the others failed in some way. I believe it will serve them well. They wanted one that they could manage themselves and OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 has worked beautifully. |
