Summary : Redirect connection through proxy servers
Description :
ProxyChains NG is based on ProxyChains.
ProxyChains NG hooks network-related (TCP only) libc functions in dynamically
linked programs via a preloaded DSO (dynamic shared object) and redirects the
connections through one or more SOCKS4a/5 or HTTP proxies.
Since Proxy Chains NG relies on the dynamic linker, statically linked binaries
are not supported.
Adjust ~/.proxychains/proxychains.conf for your Proxy and use ProxyChains NG
with
