ProxyChains
- encryptluks2 5y agoFor a more modern client, there is proxychains-ng. However, if I recall even that is sort of outdated and there are now better alternatives.
- boomskats 5y ago> better alternatives Can you recommend any?
- encryptluks2 5y agoI don't recall what I've used, but I think it was something available in the Arch or Alpine repo. I typically try to avoid solutions that operate on the process, because detached processes may not actually use the proxy. Tinyproxy is one of my favorites for this. However, an alternative to proxychains-ng is tsocks. If you're looking for VPN solutions, then vopono is great.

- lolpython 5y agoI used this to tunnel my traffic over SSH in high school. That allowed me to visit blocked websites like Reddit or YouTube. The school IT administrators had already blocked common VPN providers.
- noxvilleza 5y agoYeah same with me in university. They eventually started rate-limiting each SSH connection to ~50kB/sec, so I ran a bunch of separate SSH connections, made them as upstreams on a tinyproxy - and then used proxychains to force apps to use that tinyproxy tunnel (a lot of apps back then didn't allow you to configure a proxy).
- addingnumbers 5y agoIf you're already using SSH as the transport, what differentiates this from openssh's built-in "DynamicForward" SOCKS proxy?
- guilhas 5y agoAnyone using this daily? Could example a use case?
- kevinsundar 5y agoI've used this as a light weight way to send traffic from a cli app through TOR.
- fock 5y agoI use it to patch in network to User-NS-containers with a separate network namespace. Run danted on the host, then socat to a unix-domain-socket, bind mount that and then proxychains-ng.
- drekipus 5y agoWe used this at work to connect into the VPN. It's very handy.
- ncmncm 5y agoIt must work; my ISP blocks access to the URL. (Choices are limited out here.)
