I was having trouble finding the answer on youtube, google, or privoxy.org

Most tutorials end at getting privoxy installed and set up.

So I have everything installed and set up. Now I want to block www.apple.com/itunes/ using privoxy. I want to be able to access www.apple.com but do not want access to www.apple.com/itunes.

I am assuming I need to do something in the user.action file?

I'm fairly surprised I did not come across anyone with a similar question here on superuser. Seems like everyone is fine with privoxy's default add block settings.

I hope you have windows. I recommend you download Notepad++ and then make a "Find" search "Find in Files" and specific the configuration files location of privoxy. Then you search for the following :

Blacklist

or

WhiteList

Then in the file that will conclude in the above search, you can add your URL ; try whitelist www.apple.com and blacklist block www.apple.com/itunes .

The reason we do the search as above, is to find the fine that has the URL block list. A text based search inside privoxy config files should reveal the file. The file contents should look like this :

######################################################

Blacklist

######################################################

{ +block }
www.apple.com/itunes

######################################################

Whitelist

######################################################

{ -block }
www.apple.com
