Care to share how you did it?

Also, how are your speeds after this? I've always found my speeds get killed badly after using proxies or proxy programs

Select your OS , and follow 3.0.19 (stable)>>>>privoxy_setup_3.0.19.exe
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ijbswa/files/

Access your proxy settings

For Google chrome select
wrench in the upper right corner >> Settings >> Under The Hood >> Change Proxy Settings >> Connections "Tab" >> LAN Settings

Check :"use proxy"
Check :"Bypass proxy server"

Now enter
address :127.0.0.1
port : 8118

Select ok

close out of your browser to initiate settings and your done.

It also removes commercials from online videos

You can get this for Chrome as well (it's what I use).
