proxychain unable to resolve ip address












1















I have my proxychains configured as



strict_chain
proxy_dns
http 172.16.20.2 3128


because I can access internet through 172.16.20.2:3128. But running the proxychains gives me the following error



root@kali:~# proxychains apt-get update
ProxyChains-3.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net)
0% [Working]|DNS-request| http.kali.org
0% [Connecting to http.kali.org]|S-chain|-<>-172.16.20.2:3128-<><>-4.2.2.2:53-<--denied
|DNS-response|: http.kali.org does not exist
Ign:1 http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling InRelease
0% [Working]^C


So, what's wrong? I suspect nothing is wrong with my proxychains because it runs on tor but not on 172.16.20.2:3128. 172.16.20.2:3128 runs fine on my browser so what prevents it from running on proxychains?

          Fairly certain that you will want to comment out "strict_chain" and then remove the comment on "dynamic_chain".
          Like so..



          # proxychains.conf  VER 4

          # HTTP, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 tunneling proxifier with DNS.

          # The option below identifies how the ProxyList is treated.
          # only one option should be uncommented at time,
          # otherwise the last appearing option will be accepted

          dynamic_chain

          #Dynamic - Each connection will be done via chained proxies
          # all proxies chained in the order as they appear in the list
          # at least one proxy must be online to play in chain
          # (dead proxies are skipped)
          # otherwise EINTR is returned to the app

          #strict_chain

          # Strict - Each connection will be done via chained proxies
          # all proxies chained in the order as they appear in the list
          # all proxies must be online to play in chain
