Proxychains is a free & open-source tool that allows us to run any network tool through HTTP(S), socks4, TOR, and socks5 proxy. With the help of proxychains, we can hide your IP addresses on the internet.

As you can see below the image, there are three types of proxychains.
- dynamic_chain
- strict_chain
- random_chain
