Re: Privoxy for iOS

Getting there!





Right now there are a few glaring issues:

- installation is extremely manual (copying the zip and install scripts to the phone and running by hand)
- there does not appear to be a method for adding users/groups on iOS so Privoxy runs as root
- one cannot set an HTTP proxy when running on cellular data, hence Privoxy is only in effect when on a WiFi connection.

Still and all, I'm going to tidy up the build process as best as is possible and look at getting it submitted to a Cydia repository for distribution.

If anyone is interested in a copy then let me know.

Who amongst the subscribers of this list has a jailbroken iPhone and would be interested in testing alpha & beta releases of my work?

Installing my pre-release versions will (at least initially) be an entirely manual process since I will not be hosted at a repository (in time I might work out how to host my own repository which will slightly ease the complexity).
