Now this connection uses Privoxy and ads should be blocked. For each saved connection with which you want to use Privoxy you need to edit the proxy settings as shown above. Although you can change the ad-blocking settings by editing the configuration files in <code>/etc/privoxy</code>, the default settings will work for most people. Editing requires root permissions.
