Privoxy Frequently Asked Questions: Configuration

3.17. How can I make Privoxy work with other proxies?

This can be done and is often useful to combine the benefits of Privoxy with those of a another proxy, for example to cache content. See the forwarding chapter in the User Manual which describes how to do this. If you intend to use Privoxy with Tor, please also have a look at How do I use Privoxy together with Tor.

Privoxy 3.0.26 User Manual: 7.5. Forwarding

This feature allows routing of HTTP requests through a chain of multiple proxies.

...

7.5.2. forward-socks4, forward-socks4a, forward-socks5 and forward-socks5t

...

Type of value:

target_pattern socks_proxy[:port] http_parent[:port]

Configuration example without HTTP parent:

forward-socks5   /               socks-gw.example.com:1080  .
