# for the casual user.
#
# If you specify a trust file, Privoxy will only allow access to
-# sites that are named in the trustfile. You can also mark sites
-# as trusted referrers (with +), with the effect that access
-# to untrusted sites will be granted, if a link from a trusted
-# referrer was used. The link target will then be added to the
-# "trustfile". Possible applications include limiting Internet
-# access for children.

-# If you use + operator in the trust file, it may grow considerably
-# over time.
+# sites that are specified in the trustfile. Sites can be listed
+# in one of two ways:
+#
+# Prepending a ~ character limits access to this site only (and
+# any sub-paths within this site), e.g. ~www.example.com.
+#
+# Or, you can designate sites as trusted referrers, by prepending
+# the name with a + character. The effect is that access to
+# untrusted sites will be granted -- but only if a link from this
+# trusted referrer was used. The link target will then be added
+# to the "trustfile" so that future, direct accesses will be
+# granted. Sites added via this mechanism do not become trusted
+# referrers themselves (i.e. they are added with a ~ designation).
+#
+# If you use the + operator in the trust file, it may grow
+# considerably over time.
+#
+# It is recommended that Privoxy be compiled with the
+# --disable-force, --disable-toggle and --disable-editor options,
+# if this feature is to be used.

+# Possible applications include limiting Internet access for
+# children.
