Hello, First things first: AFAIK, just installing privoxy doesn't make it use Tor, it just acts as a regular proxy. Visit [1] to see if you're using Tor or not. In order to enable chaining through Tor you'll have to have a line like forward-socks5 / <ip>:<port> An example line, as well as a documentation for it, is in /etc/privoxy/config, starting at or around line 1238. Also there, you'll find examples on how to exempt your local network(s), as Tor will never be able to reach them. Or, you could install the torbrowser-launcher[2] package, which contains everything preconfigured for browsing.
