Wouldn't it be simpler to bind privoxy to its own ip address, e.g.
192.168.1.2, and use pbr?

ip rule add from 192.168.1.2 lookup 10

ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth1 table 10 # internal network
ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 table 10 # external network
ip route add default via 192.168.1.254 dev eth0

Disclaimer: not tested ;-)
