-# Many users will never look at it, however, and it's a privacy

-# disabled by default in Privoxy 3.0.7 and later.
+# Depending on the debug options below, the logfile may be a privacy

-# For troubleshooting purposes, you will have to explicitly enable
-# it. Please don't file any support requests without trying to
-# reproduce the problem with logging enabled first. Once you read
-# the log messages, you may even be able to solve the problem on
-# your own.
+# For most troubleshooting purposes, you will have to change that, please
+# refer to the debugging section for details.

# Notes:
#
# The available debug levels are:
#
-# debug 1 # show each GET/POST/CONNECT request
+# debug 1 # log each request destination (and the crunch reason if Privoxy intercepted the request)
# debug 2 # show each connection status
# debug 4 # show I/O status
# debug 8 # show header parsing
# use multiple debug lines.
#
# A debug level of 1 is informative because it will show you each
-# request as it happens. 1, 4096 and 8192 are highly recommended
-# so that you will notice when things go wrong. The other levels
-# are probably only of interest if you are hunting down a specific
-# problem. They can produce a hell of an output (especially 16).
