As I understand it (Library/Privoxy/user-manual/config.html Section 7.5.2) those lines forward all requests from Privoxy through Tor: if you want Privoxy filtering without using Tor in client mode, you have to comment those lines out. Then if at some point you *do* want to use Tor in client mode (still with Privoxy), you have to reinstate them. Wiser heads may need to confirm this... GD Hotmail® is up to 70% faster.
