Description

Proxychains is a security and privacy application that allows users to route their internet traffic through a chain of proxy servers, which masks their IP address and location. It is primarily used to circumvent censorship, access geographically restricted content, and hide their online activity from surveillance. Proxychains can be used with a variety of proxy servers, such as the popular Tor, under the SOCKS protocol. It also supports various protocols, such as HTTP and HTTPS, and can be used in conjunction with other applications, such as ssh, telnet, and ftp. Proxychains can be configured to allow only certain types of traffic, such as email, web browsing, and file transfers, as well as block dangerous websites or IP addresses. Additionally, Proxychains can be used to test the security of a network, by allowing users to test their network with a variety of attack vectors.
