hello.
I got privoxy installed and apparently running, the only question is how do I get lists that work for pihole into privoxy? is the config file what I’m supposed to add them to?

edit: I have run into a problem

did some searching and found a tutorial, but now it seems the program stopped working after reboot.
I updated my clock to update from the internet and rebooted.
that’s about the extend of changes I have done before privoxy stopped blocking ads.

anyone want to know what I did to get privoxy working in the first place? just ask!
