At present, Privoxy is known to run on
Windows 95 and later versions (98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 10,
Windows 11 etc.),
GNU/Linux (RedHat, SuSE, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Slackware and others),
Mac OS X (10.4 and upwards on PPC and Intel processors),
Haiku,
DragonFly, ElectroBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris,
and various other flavors of Unix.
The binaries provided by members of the Privoxy team have the following
testing platforms, earliest supported OS versions and processor architectures.
Be aware that down-level versions of Privoxy contain known security issues.
It is preferable to build the latest code to target earlier OS releases
than use an earlier Privoxy release:

Any operating system that runs TCP/IP, can conceivably take advantage of
Privoxy in a networked situation where
Privoxy would run as a server on a LAN gateway.
Then only the gateway
needs to be running one of the above
operating systems.
Source code is freely available, so porting to other operating systems
is always a possibility, as is compiling for older versions of supported
operating systems.
