50 <h1><a href="http://privoxy.org/">Privoxy</a> is not being used</h1>
52 <p>The fact that you are reading this page shows that Privoxy was
53 not used in the process of accessing it. Had the request been
54 made through Privoxy, it would have been intercepted and you
55 would be looking at Privoxy's web-based user interface now.</p>
57 <p><b>So what went wrong?</b> Chances are (in this order) that:</p>
60 <li><p>this page is in your browser's cache. You've once been here
61 before starting to use Privoxy, and now your browser thinks that
62 it already knows the content of this page. Hence it doesn't request
64 <p>Force your browser to do that. With most browsers, clicking "reload"
65 while holding down the shift key (shift-reloading) should suffice, but
66 you might need to manually clear the browser's cache (both memory and
69 <li><p>your browser is not set up to use Privoxy.</p>
70 <p> Check your browser's proxy settings and make sure that it uses
71 127.0.0.1, port 8118 (or, if you did a custom configuration, whatever
72 different values you used).</p></li>
74 <li><p>when using multiple proxies in a chain, that either the chain
75 is broken at some point before Privoxy, or that an earlier proxy
76 serves this page from its cache.</p>
77 <p>Shift-reload, clear all caches, and if the problem still persists,
78 trace the proxy chain starting with your browser's settings. Please
