Hello guys, Iam Mr.Ethical Yt and welcome to my blog post the ultimate guide to install and set up Proxychains in Termux in your Android without the need of rooting your device. Proxychains is an awesome tool to route your network traffic through chains of proxies, which gives you more anonymity and can help bypass various restrictions on the network. So let's go through this guide - it will take you through step-by-step so you understand what you are doing and can troubleshoot common issues.
Interpretation and Use of Proxychains:
Proxychains simply is a SOCKS and HTTP preloader proxy fue; thus every TCP connection any app does by default goes through proxies such as Tor. It is precious in security testing, anonymity, and slipping through censorships. But again, it should be understood: Proxychains is not the perfect anonymity tool, and proper configurations and understanding of its limitations are important.
A Complete Guide to Installation and Setup:
Of course, the first step is to acquire Termux from F-Droid. If you have installed playstore version uninstall it and install it from F-Droid.This way, you will not be put into problems because the Play Store version is outdated. F-Droid actually gets the latest, most stable version. So with Termux open, You have to update and upgrade Termux repositories. This ensures you have the most recent packages, thereby avoiding incompatibility issues.apt update && apt upgrade -ySo 'these arguments -y' are for automatic confirmations.
Installing Tor for Anonymity:
Tor is the bedrock of anonymity, when combined with Proxychains. Install it using:
apt-get install tor -y
Therefore, it creates a network of relays, encrypting and routing your traffic via several servers, making tracing difficult.
Proxychains-ng Installation:
Proxychains-ng is the latest version of Proxychains and provides all the benefits of utilizing Proxychains but with increased stability. Install it with:
apt-get install proxychains-ng -y.Configuring Proxychains to Work for Tor:
The first thing to do is go into the Proxychains configuration's home directory:
cd $PREFIX/etc
Then edit the proxychains.conf file using a text editor like nano:
nano proxychains.conf.Chain Type Specification:
Uncomment dynamic_chain by removing the '#' that precedes it. This chain type uses proxies in the order they appear in the configuration file, skipping dead proxies. Comment out strict_chain by adding a # to its beginning. This chain type requires all proxies to be alive and functioning.
Using the SOCKS5 Proxy:
Scroll to the end of the file and add the following line underneath the existing socks4 127.0.0.1 9050 line:
socks5 127.0.0.1 9050
This means that Proxychains will go for Tor's SOCKS5 proxy.
Saving and Exiting:
In nano, press CTRL + S to save and CTRL + X to exit.
Giving Service to Tor:
Start the Tor service:
service tor start
Keep this Tor session running.
Then use the command proxychains4 with commands what will interact with server like
For example if you use hydra use proxychains4 command with hydra command
Also use proxychains4 command when open browser
