it looks like the instructions I need are found here:
http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/c...ACCESS-CONTROL

" You will need to configure your browser(s) to this proxy address and port.

If you already have another service running on port 8118, or if you want to serve requests from other machines (e.g. on your local network) as well, you will need to override the default.

IPv6 addresses containing colons have to be quoted by brackets.

If you leave out the IP address, Privoxy will bind to all IPv4 interfaces (addresses) on your machine and may become reachable from the Internet. In that case, consider using access control lists (ACL's, see below), and/or a firewall.

If you open Privoxy to untrusted users, you will also want to make sure that the following actions are disabled: enable-edit-actions and enable-remote-toggle
Example:"

This may be the answer

My apologies if you've already thought of this, but it was the first thing that came to mind after reading the symptoms.
