You should configure your system to use privaxy: https://github.com/Barre/privaxy#local-system-configuration

Apologies, but how does one do this on Windows?

You should be able to install the CA certificate by double clicking on it.

As per proxy configuration, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/use-a-proxy-server-in-windows-03096c53-0554-4ffe-b6ab-8b1deee8dae1 should help you, especially the "To set up a proxy server connection manually" section.

Awesome, thanks!

I'm still having trouble figuring out what to put for the IP address of the proxy. Windows wants the IP address of the server, as well as an optional port. Thank you for the help.

You should use 127.0.0.1 as ip address and 8100 as port.

Edges are still little rough and all this will be made clearer soon.

Thank you, that worked. I did also have to manually add the certificate via the computer certificate manager in windows in order to get webpages to load without an error message. Thank you for your assistance, I look forward to your progress on this exciting project.

Hi folks, how do you install the certificate on Windows 11? I see @a-fried-pOtaTO said certificate manager, but I can't figure out what to do step by step. Getting this error

This is how I installed it I believe

Double clicking is not working for me. Windows asks me to point it to a program that can handle .pem files. Any ideas?

RalfRoemling · Answer 11 · Tue Aug 08 2023 18:03:58 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Hm, weird:

Saved the *.pem and imported it into the Certificate-Manager
Set up Proxy manually to 127.0.0.1:8100

But still get the error shown by @vladinator1000 🤷 What am I missing?
