Freedom-buddy uses the world class TOR network so that boxes can find each other regardless of location or restrictive firewall and then allows the boxes to negotiate secure direct connections to each other for actually sending large or time sensitive data. We believe this blended approach will be most effective at improving the security and usability of personal-server communications and all the services we plan to build into those servers.
Web cleaning Our first service, a piece of software you can use today to start making your web browsing more secure and private, is called "privoxy-freedombox". This software combines the functionality of the Adblock Plus ad blocker, the Easy Privacy filtering list, and the (HTTPS Everywhere](https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere) website redirection plugin into a single piece of software to run on your FreedomBox. Combining these different plugins into software for your FreedomBox means that you can use them with almost any browser or mobile device using a standard web proxy connection.
Are they talking about Squid when they, "standard web proxy?" It seems quite a vague way to explain what's going on. Any insight here is appreciated.
Anyway, this seems like a more sophisticated approach since I last looked the freedomboax wiki. This looks promising.
When they say "standard web proxy" they mean anyone can utilize the box's services by configuring the proxy setting in their browser. Its a "standard web proxy" in the sense that no additional configuration is needed beyond customizing the web proxy setting which is a standard feature in any browser.
