Each application needs to be made aware of the proxy. At present, I
believe I am correct in saying that *nix lacks a centralised method of
configuring the system for a proxy (squid in transparent mode with an
upstream proxy is the easiest way, but goes way beyond the scope of this
ML and almost certainly isn't an option here).
Anyway, to get links configured, run links, press ESC, use the right
arrow key to select Setup, press down until Network Options is selected
and press Enter.
You should find it relatively simple from there. Be aware that links
doesn't seem to support authenticating, so if you need to authenticate
with the proxy you're SOL.

Spinning complacently in the darkness, covered and blinded by a blanket
of little lives, false security has lulled the madness of this world
into a slumber. Wake up! An eye is upon you, staring straight down and
keenly through, seeing all that you are and everything that you will
never be. Yes, an eye is upon you, an eye ready to blink. So face
forward, with arms wide open and mind reeling. Your future has
arrived... Are you ready to go?
