When I try using AnonSurf or Proxychains it gives me errors. When I try using firefox everytime I go to a site it says that it could not find the server.

4.9 Mate

What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)
Debian GTK
Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)
No

List your networking hardware (make, model, firmware version):
Intel Family Controller, Realtek familty controller (VM using LAN)
If there are any similar issues or solutions, link to them below:

If there are any error messages or relevant logs, post them below:

please check
/etc/resolv.conf

It gives me this:

Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)

DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND – YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN

127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver.

run “systemd-resolve --status” to see details about the actual nameservers.

nameserver 208.180.42.68
nameserver 208.180.42.100

try adding google dns
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Still not working. I also ran sudo service tor start. This is the output in the terminal:

I had the same problem. I removed tor and proxychains.
Type this with root acces. ( To get root access type sudo -s or su)
$ apt remove tor
If after that it gives you an error like this
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
tor is already the newest version (0.4.3.5-1).
The following packages will be REMOVED:
anonsurf
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 431 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
(Reading database … 418740 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing anonsurf (2.13.1+parrot0) …
rm: cannot remove ‘/etc/tor/torrc’: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package anonsurf (–remove):

dpkg: too many errors, stopping
Errors were encountered while processing:
anonsurf
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
Scanning application launchers

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Then create the file by typing:
$ touch /etc/tor/torrc
Then execute this command again
$ apt remove tor
Then remove proxychains and make autoremove
$ apt remove proxychains && apt autoremove

Then reinstall them
$ apt install tor && apt install proxychains

After that I suggest you to configure your /etc/proxychains.conf

I suggest you to uncomment dynamic_chain and comment strict_chain
Also make sure proxy_dns is uncommented. And lastly I suggest you to use socks5:
At the end of the file type:
socks5 127.0.0.1 9050 with the same format
Then
$ service tor start
and with non root user
$ proxychains firefox
