What is Proxychains?

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.


How to Install & Setup Proxychains

To setup proxychains, you will first need to install the proxychains tool in Kali Linux. For that, follow the below command, which can help you to establish proxychains.

apt-get  install proxychains

As you can see below the image, there are three types of proxychains.

  • dynamic_chain
  • strict_chain
