I installed Privoxy from the standard built-in repository. I rebooted. It is running. I have set my proxy settings, in the system control panel, and in my browsers. It is being ignored, in Waterfox and Firefox and Chrome.
Are any additional steps needed?
I checked it was running with:
# systemctl status privoxy.service
● privoxy.service - Privacy enhancing HTTP Proxy
