Hi, OP here. Most importantly, mega thanks to Fabian Keil, the lead developer of the Privoxy project. After 17 years and over 4,500 commits, Fabian’s dedication to Internet security, privacy, and the open source Privoxy project is unequivocal. Additional thanks to the entire Privoxy team and our incredible team for getting us here. Our project, Security and Privacy Plus, is to provide commercial support for the preconfigured appliances we created which allow for easy spin up, testing, and usage of the incredibly effective and flexible filtering system Privoxy provides. Our goal is to make this necessarily technical software available to a wider group of people via a cloud control panel and a virtual appliance, and we have successfully done this. The Privoxy project made it effective, we made it shiny. Give it a spin

Good call, I think you hit it right on the money. We have all seen these problems (basically Google attempting to MITM the entire Internet) getting worse for years along with all of the very real malvertising threats. We have partnered with the Privoxy project to do exactly what you are doing with Proxomitron but a system that will scale to enterprise environments. We have it running in corporate and educational environments already w/out SSL inspection. What we will be able to do with SSL inspection will be a game changer. Check out the virtual appliance! Any feedback or ideas are appreciated. https://www.nextvectorsecurity.com
