  1. Use

    sudo apt-get install privoxy

    to install privoxy. After you installed it successfully you will have a look at http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/quickstart.html#QUICKSTART-AD-BLOCKING where you are introduced using privoxy for ad blocking. /etc/privoxy is where all the configuration is stored. Furthermore you can view and edit your configuration here: http://config.privoxy.org/show-status
