I think tor website has info about Privoxy. You'll need something like this line in Privoxy config file: forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 . Then in ELinks you will use Privoxy (which in order will use Tor), as follows: Option manager->Protocols->HTTP->Proxy configuration->Host and port number edit its value to be: localhost:8118. 8118 is the default port that Privoxy uses. -- أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) Digital design engineer SySDSoft, Inc.

Thanks. Using privoxy and tor together allows usage with elinks.
