NAME
       ProxyChains   redirect connections through proxy servers


SYNTAX
       proxychains 

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 (2.0) 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 con 
       nections 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 dont want to pay for eBorder / premeo socks driver :)

       Some cool features:
       * This program can mix different proxy types in the same chain

       like: your_host <  >socks5 <  > http <  > socks4 <  >  http  <  >  tar 
       get_host

       *  Different  chaining  options supported      like:  take random proxy
       from the list.       or :   chain proxies  in  exact  order       or  :
       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:

        ./proxychains.conf

        $(HOME)/.proxychains/proxychains.conf

        /etc/proxychains.conf

       see more in /etc/proxychains.conf


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
