Problem using proxychains

Support
#1

Hey,

I just installed ParrotOS 3.11 and have massive problems using proxychains. I tried to use the default configuration with tor service running. At first, when i use

proxychains firefox

i got an error message ‘libproxychains.so.3’ from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded which i was able to fix using some forum advice with changing an entry in /usr/bin/proxychains

Now the file can be found and when i use

proxychains firefox

it appears to start, but nothing happens. firefox just opens normally, gives a bunch of terminal outputs like it usually does, but after that proxychains does not appear to have any effect. No messages about establishing a chain, no DNS, nothing. Its like i didnt even use the proxychains command at all and my ip and dns are just displayed as normal.

i have tried to play around int he standard proxychains.conf and change socks4 to socks5. I am also sure that tor is running.

Can anybody help?

You must change

export LD_PRELOAD=libproxychains.so.3

to

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libproxychains.so.3

This can be done by directly editing /usr/bin/proxychains with your editor or choice

Hey thank you but as I mentioned i am already past this error. When i start proxychains I get no error at all, but also no effect. Had to switch to kali, its working without issues there

Hi everyone,
I have similar problem with proxychains.

When i start proxychains with : proxychains firefox www.google.com I’m getting following mistake: ProxyChains-3.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net) firefox: run_symlink.c:104: run_symlink: Assertiongetenv(“LD_PRELOAD”) == NULL’ failed.
Aborted`
I don’t know what I should do in this case. I’m new in this community, and on Linux, but I think it isn’t tiny problem. I’m very thankful for every help.
