#TIL that if you add this to #Elinks 's configuration file:
set connection.async_dns = 0
And start it with `torify elinks`, you will be able to browse .onion sites in #Tor with it, without the need to chain a SOCKS-to-HTTP proxy like Privoxy.
I'm not sure how this is possible (I was told many times that torsocks doesn't do onion resolution), or even how secure this is (i.e. is everything really routed through Tor?), but it works for a quick surf around the network, so I'm sharin' it!
@kzimmermann Ooh cool, I've been wanting something more minimal than TOR Browser for viewing onion sites.
@kzimmermann@fosstodon.org@th4lia absolutely. Ever since I learned the #privoxy chaining trick, I've almost exclusively used elinks to browse Tor (where you'd better never use Javascript anyway), but it requires setting up a new service and having a new user running, which in themselves add complexity or bloat.
This config trick simplifies everything, to the point of ridicule. Enjoy!
