 https://sourceforge.net/p/ijbswa/support-requests/1661/ is a bugreport
 that apparantly should be reported here rather than to Privoxy.

 "Privoxy fails to startup since it tries to launch before my machine has
 an IP. Not sure if this is a bug or user error but maybe it should be in
 the FAQ?

 2014-07-08 08:42:26.960 00000110 Fatal error: can't bind to
 192.168.1.2:8118: Can't assign requested address

 This is Privoxy from MacPorts."


 'Thanks for the report, but "Privoxy from MacPorts" likely is launched
 with an OS-X-specific mechanism (launchd?), in which case the problem
 should be reported to the MacPorts people. In general Privoxy shouldn't be
 started before the addresses it's supposed to listen on (in your case
 192.168.1.2) are available.

 Changing the listen-address to "0.0.0.0:8118" may be a workaround, but
 whether it'll allows clients to reach Privoxy at addresses that weren't
 available (yet) when Privoxy was started depends on the operating system
 and you may want to use ACLs to control which clients are served by
 Privoxy.'
