Privoxy still available?

Good morning - first thing thank you for your work - much appreciated.

I recently upgraded to 1.8.0 and for some reason I can't get privoxy to install. I had that working up until I upgraded on the weekend.

I am doing:
opkg update
opkg install privoxy
ERROR: No package named privoxy found, try updating your package lists

Is there a particular source I should add for this?

Alternatively - is there another proxy program available?

Thanks!

Following the directions here:
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=52219

I tried adding this line to /etc/opkg.conf:
src/gz barrier_breaker_oldpackages http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_br ... ldpackages

and it found privoxy and started to install - but then it died on dependancy libpcre:
ERROR: Could determine download URL for package libpcre

I could see the package listed here:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_br ... /packages/

So I used wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_br ... ar71xx.ipk

and then opkg install libpcre_8.35-2_ar71xx.ipk followed by opkg install privoxy and everything seems to be fine now (after editting /etc/privoxy/config and /etc/init.d/privoxy start).
