Its using systemd as every distribution nowadays.

The system is using Firewalld. Privoxy would load up, I could see it with "ss -tan" but firefox or chromium wouldn't use it unless I used the command "rcprivoxy restart" and I needed to use that command each boot. The only thing I could figure out to do from the internet is those scripts. I'm not familiar with openSUSE. Not every distribution uses systemd. This has made me appreciate those that don't even more.
Edit: I want to make clear that I installed OpenSUSE for them after they tried several other distributions like Manjaro, Fedora, Linux Mint, Debian, & Ubuntu. It was the most stable, newbie friendly, and it just worked. I was left impressed with OpenSUSE because the others failed in some way. I believe it will serve them well. They wanted one that they could manage themselves and OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 has worked beautifully.
