+Known Problem
+
+The OS X 'Mavericks' & 'Yosemite' releases have a bug that causes an intermittent problem for Privoxy that a simple upgrade install will not cure. If you have a persistent problem with Privoxy not starting (in your web browser you get a "Cannot connect to proxy server" error) then the best advice is to completely uninstall Privoxy (using the guide in the readme file at /Applications/Privoxy) then reinstall from scratch. Please ensure you take a copy of your config file and filters if you have made any customisations you do not want to lose.
+
+For the technically minded, the bug is that the _privoxy user & group cannot be reliably read from directory services at system startup time (there are suggestions that usernames with leading underscore are no longer properly supported), causing Privoxy to fail to load.
