Hello!

I’m trying to utilize privoxy and tor together, using tor's stream isolation to get a new circuit per session by passing different credentials per session. I have the recommended config in there:

forward-socks5t   /               127.0.0.1:9050 .

And I'm trying to call through privoxy with:

curl -s -x http://$USER:$PASS@localhost:8118 https://check.torproject.org

But it looks like the username and password aren't forwarded along to tor. Is this possible?

I can't put the username/password it the privoxy config because it changes dynamically per session/app/etc.

Best regards,
Eric
