Proxychains is a SOCKS proxy chain tool and TCP traffic redirector that forces outgoing network connections from applications into a specified sequence of proxy servers. It functions as a proxy sequence orchestrator, routing TCP network traffic through multiple SOCKS or HTTP proxies to anonymize network paths and bypass firewalls.
The tool includes a remote DNS resolver that performs domain name resolution through a remote proxy to prevent DNS leaks and hide queries. This ensures that network traffic from applications that are not proxy-aware is redirected through the configured intermediaries.
The project provides capabilities for anonymous network tunneling, network traffic routing, and secure proxy chaining to mask origin addresses and bypass restrictive network filters.
