 #      This option has no effect if Privoxy has been compiled without
 #      keep-alive support.
 #
+#  Notes:
+#
+#      Note that reusing connections doesn't necessary cause
+#      speedups. There are also a few privacy implications you should
+#      be aware of.
+#
+#      Outgoing connections are shared between clients (if there are
+#      more than one) and closing the client that initiated the outgoing
+#      connection does not affect the connection between Privoxy and
+#      the server unless the client's request hasn't been completed
+#      yet. If the outgoing connection is idle, it will not be closed
+#      until either Privoxy's or the server's timeout is reached. While
+#      it's open, the server knows that the system running Privoxy is
+#      still there.
+#
 #  Examples:
 #
 #      keep-alive-timeout 300
