ProxyChains-NG ver 4.17 README
=============================

  ProxyChains is a UNIX program, that hooks network-related libc functions
  in DYNAMICALLY LINKED programs via a preloaded DLL (dlsym(), LD_PRELOAD)
  and redirects the connections through SOCKS4a/5 or HTTP proxies.
  It supports TCP only (no UDP/ICMP etc).

  The way it works is basically a HACK; so it is possible that it doesn't
  work with your program, especially when it's a script, or starts
  numerous processes like background daemons or uses dlopen() to load
  "modules" (bug in glibc dynlinker).
  It should work with simple compiled (C/C++) dynamically linked programs
  though.

  If your program doesn't work with proxychains, consider using an
  iptables based solution instead; this is much more robust.

  Supported Platforms: Linux, BSD, Mac, Haiku.


*********** ATTENTION ***********

  this program can be used to circumvent censorship.
  doing so can be VERY DANGEROUS in certain countries.

  ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT PROXYCHAINS WORKS AS EXPECTED
  BEFORE USING IT FOR ANYTHING SERIOUS.

  this involves both the program and the proxy that you're going to
  use.

  for example, you can connect to some "what is my ip" service
  like ifconfig.me to make sure that it's not using your real ip.

  ONLY USE PROXYCHAINS IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

  THE AUTHORS AND MAINTAINERS OF PROXYCHAINS DO NOT TAKE ANY
  RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ABUSE OR MISUSE OF THIS SOFTWARE AND
  THE RESULTING CONSEQUENCES.

*** Installation ***

  # needs a working C compiler, preferably gcc
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
  make
  [optional] sudo make install
  [optional] sudo make install-config (installs proxychains.conf)

  if you dont install, you can use proxychains from the build directory
  like this: ./proxychains4 -f src/proxychains.conf telnet google.com 80
