Yep. That's what I wrote.

As long as you permit it. Currently your Privoxy won't accept any
connections from outside of it's host.

Er, no. Forcing privoxy to listen someone else's IP won't do anyone any
good.
You should either specify *your* IP to listen, or use something like
this (which will listen on any interface):
listen-address 0.0.0.0:8118
I also suggest specifying these:
enable-remote-toggle 0
enable-remote-http-toggle 0
enable-edit-actions 0
You'll hardly need this someone else to modify your privoxy settings at
runtime, or bypassing Tor.
