Set a static ip address for the server running Privoxy on your local network and set it as your proxy in your Android settings as shown in the following screenshot.

*Server, the physical hardware*
When people think of servers, they imagine a big machine or a large stack of them making humming noises and furiously serving millions of requests.
A server can also mean a computer program that is continuously running, listening for client requests and serving them. Think Apache, Nginx or Tomcat.

*Apache HTTP server, the software*
When someone says that they have gone *serverless*, what they actually mean is that they are no longer running a software program listening to requests. There should still be a physical computer of some sort serving the requests of the clients.

In the beginning there was FORTRAN.
[Orgzly](http://www.orgzly.com/) is basically an emulation of Emacs Org-mode on the mobile. This means I don’t have to use two kinds of apps for my To-Do lists. I can write my To-Do lists in Emacs and edit them on the go on my mobile. This sounds a lot like Microsoft Word for Windows Mobile, doesn’t it? Well, I was looking for a FOSS alternative. Now the whole problem is syncing my notes. I could have hosted [NextCloud](https://nextcloud.com/) on a Raspberry Pi at my home and set it up with Dynamic DNS and used it to keep these in sync. But that’s a lot of work and needs additional hardware. Instead, I decided to use a peer-to-peer synchronization tool called [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/).

Syncthing is very [easy to use](https://docs.syncthing.net/intro/getting-started.html) and has both desktop and mobile apps. I created a folder called ~/Sync on my laptop and moved my Org-mode lists there. Then, I setup Sycnthing to sync that folder to the mobile device.

Orgzly has a sync feature. I just had to point my Orgzly to use Syncthing’s folder on the mobile device and select “Sync”. Syncthing did its job of getting my notes from desktop to mobile and Orgzly displayed them in Org-mode.
