*boggle* You can press 'g' and then paste (or type) whatever URL you want into the terminal. You are not "trapped" anywhere. Of course, the fact that you are in lynx means half the Web will not WORK, especially your new-fangled "Let's Encrypt" https site using a virtual domain, which is presumably what you are actually trying to use lynx to test. elinks has the same problem. It can't talk to sites like https://paste.debian.net/ I have been told that w3m might not have this problem, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
