Public bug reported:

Running this:

`torsocks lynx
'https://c6usaa6obkiahck7rkn2phbffb3strd375pfpxmawuexnmectjizyjad.onion/about'`

results in:

  “Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. … lynx: Can't access
startfile …”

The same malfunction occurrs with other onion sites as well. But note
that running `torsocks w3m <onion site>` has no problem, so it’s a lynx-
specific problem.


Unrelated, but worth noting in case this bug report is seen by the admin of the 
Lynx website:

If you visit the Lynx homepage using a graphical browser over Tor, a
Sucuri blockade denies access. But if you run “torsocks lynx
https://lynx.invisible-island.net/lynx.html” suddenly your Tor IP
becomes acceptible to their access rules. This is a broken security
policy. Tor users should be treated equally regardless of browser. If
Tor is not actually a security threat, then Sucuri should be dumped.
