NAME

       proxychains4 - redirect connections through proxy servers

SYNOPSIS

       proxychains4 --help
       proxychains4 [ -f configfile.conf ] <program>

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  forces  any  tcp connection made by any given tcp client to follow through proxy (or proxy
       chain). It is a kind of proxifier.

       It acts like sockscap / premeo / eborder driver (intercepts TCP calls).

       This version (v4)  supports  SOCKS4,  SOCKS5  and  HTTP  CONNECT  proxy  servers.   Auth-types:  socks  -
       "user/pass" , http - "basic".

   When to use it?
       1)  When the only way to get "outside" from your LAN is through proxy server.

       2)  When you are behind restrictive firewall which filters outgoing connections to some ports.

       3)  When you want to use two (or more) proxies in chain:
           like: your_host <--> proxy1 <--> proxy2 <--> target_host

       4)  When you want to "proxify" some programs with no proxy support built-in (like telnet).

       5)  When you don't want to pay for eBorder / premeo socks driver :)

   Some cool features:
       •   This program can mix different proxy types in the same chain. For instance:

           your_host <-->socks5 <--> http <--> socks4 <--> http <--> target_host

       •   Different chaining options are supported. For instance:

           •   take random proxy from the list

           •   chain proxies in exact order

           •   chain proxies in dynamic order (smart exclude dead proxies from chain)

       •   You  can  use  it  with  any  TCP client application, even network scanners.  Yes, yes - you can make
           portscan  via  proxy   (or   chained   proxies)   for   example   with   Nmap   scanner   by   fyodor
           (www.insecure.org/nmap).

           proxychains nmap -sT -PO -p 80 -iR  (find some webservers through proxy)

       NOTE: to run suid/sgid programs(like ssh) through proxychains you have to be root

FILES

       proxychains looks for config file in following order:

              file  listed  in  environment  variable  PROXYCHAINS_CONF_FILE  or  provided  as  a -f argument to
              proxychains script or binary.

              ./proxychains.conf

              $(HOME)/.proxychains/proxychains.conf

              /etc/proxychains.conf

       More information is provided in /etc/proxychains.conf file.

EXAMPLES

       To run this program the standard way type:
              proxychains telnet targethost.com

       In this example, it will run telnet through proxy(or chained proxies) specified by proxychains.conf.

       To run this program with custom configuration file:
              proxychains -f /etc/proxychains-other.conf telnet targethost2.com

       In this example, it will use a different configuration file as specified to  connect  to  targethost2.com
       host.
