Re: Polipo looks so simple to set up, but I'll be darned if I can do it!

These are options that can only be changed at startup, not at runtime.
You'll need to set them in /etc/polipo/config, and restart Polipo.

Please see /etc/polipo/config:

   # Uncomment one of these if you want to allow remote clients to
   # connect:

   # proxyAddress = "::0"        # both IPv4 and IPv6
   # proxyAddress = "0.0.0.0"    # IPv4 only
