So, what can Privoxy do for me?

[andy <geek_show@dsl.pipex.com>]

Actually I don't know, never having used it. But I am considering it, 
but need to figure out the following first.

My user machine is one of a small LAN behind a hardware dedicated 
firewall running a DSL modem. If I were to install Privoxy on my user 
machine inside the firewall, what would be the effect of doing so with 
respect to (a) its trimming/junk busting functions? and (b) its masking 
capabilities. I suspect that (a) would work just fine, but am unsure 
about (b).

Any thoughts on this?

Andy
