Proxy chains

What is ProxyChains?

ProxyChains is a tool that forces any TCP connection made by any given
application to go through proxies like TOR or any other SOCKS4, SOCKS5
or HTTP proxies. It is an open-source project for GNU/Linux systems.

Download proxy chains for linux

apt-get install proxychains

Go to link and select suitable proxy chain
https://www.proxynova.com/proxy-server-list

There are other sites. Do some searching. Most proxies don’t work

l chosee this
example: 197.254.97.251 80

Open the terminal and type this command

mousepad /etc/proxychains4.conf

in the opened file :

Where it says #dynamic_chain, remove the # sign.
Put # at the beginning of ” strict_chain ”.

example:

then get down to the bottom

We delete the default ip and write the ip and port we choose.

Open the terminal and type this command

proxychains firefox google.com

OR

proxychains nmap 192.168.1.1

OR

etc.

It should be noted that changing the proxy does not make you a ghost.it’s just 1 link in the chain.

Using proxy chains with tor

Download tor first

apt-get install tor

Start the tor service

service tor start

again

mousepad /etc/proxychains4.conf

Where it says #dynamic_chain, remove the # sign.
Put # at the beginning of ” strict_chain ”. (as above)

Then

proxychains firefox google.com

proxychains nmap 192.168.1.1

and etc.

Stop the tor service

service tor stop
