Using Proxychains

Proxychains forces any application to route its traffic through configured proxies, without modifying each program individually.

1. Installation

apt install proxychains

2. Back Up Configuration

cp /etc/proxychains.conf /etc/proxychains.conf.backup

3. Browse via Tor

The default proxy in the config file is Tor (socks4 127.0.0.1 9050).

service tor start
service tor status
proxychains firefox https://www.cual-es-mi-ip.net/

4. Use a Custom External Proxy

Get proxies at: hidemy.name/es/proxy-list/

Edit /etc/proxychains.conf — [ProxyList] section:

# Comment out Tor:
# socks4  127.0.0.1 9050

# Add your proxy:
socks5  PROXY_IP  PORT

service tor stop
proxychains firefox https://www.cual-es-mi-ip.net/
