OK, I just updated to v8-3 and have the latest initscripts, too. I tried to shut down 
twice (I invoked sudo systemctl daemon-reexec before the second time), and I still 
cannot power down by clicking on the power off button. The screen goes black, but the 
mouse pointer remains on the black screen and is movable, but nothing further occurs. 
I have to go to a different virtual terminal, log in as root, and run systemctl 
isolate poweroff.target. Then, it powers off.

I don't think this is working, either. I ran systemctl start dnsmasq.service ; 
systemctl start privoxy.service and got no error messages. I opened firefox and was 
able to navigate to a web page, so it seems that privoxy is working, otherwise it 
would block loading pages.

However, dnsmasq does not appear to be working correctly. When I run dig si.com it 
says 30 seconds the first time and 29 seconds every time thereafter and the lights on 
my router flash, meaning it is getting the information from the web. Normally, the 
second time running dig si.com should be 0 seconds and no flashing lights on the 
router.
