PING Frank Cox: your privoxy-squid setup need visible_hostname set in squid.conf to work

Hi,

I used your instructions for how to set up a privoxy-squid interface to
the internet successfully in F10, though modified slightly for my
situation. When I tried to use the F10 configuration files in F11, I
could not get squid to start. It kept saying it wanted the
visible_hostname set. The documentation says it will pick it up from
the hostname output, but it didn't.  Couldn't see a reason, no selinux
problems, just wouldn't do it.

So I added the garbage entry 

visible_hostname errors.squid.info

to the squid.conf file and everything is working fine now.

Just a heads up to you and anyone else using your configuration.
