What does journalctl -xe show?
(In reply to Jon Ciesla from comment #1) > What does journalctl -xe show? Thanks for the prompt reply,Jon. Below is the output of journalctl. I must also mention that I just found out privoxy does run with the --no-daemon option... of course I would like it to work as a service (this was excluded from the log below). -- Logs begin at Tue 2016-05-31 21:52:57 EDT, end at Tue 2016-09-13 14:12:23 EDT. -- Sep 11 18:31:45 noname systemd[1]: Starting Privoxy Web Proxy With Advanced Filtering Capabilities...

Sorry for the delay. I tested on f24 x86_64 and it works out of the box, I'm posting this using it. :) I'll see if I can set up a f23 VM.
I set up a f23 32-bit VM. I updated it, installed privoxy, and it works.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
