Having trouble with Kali Linux proxychains unable to connect? Any solutions?

Hey everyone,

So I’ve been messing around with kali linux proxychains unable to connect, and it’s driving me nuts. I’ve set everything up like the guides say, but no matter what I do, it just won’t connect.

I’ve double-checked the config file (/etc/proxychains.conf), made sure the proxies are active, and even tried different types (socks4, socks5, http). Still nada.

Anyone else run into this issue? Maybe I’m missing something obvious? Like, do I need to tweak the DNS settings or something? Or is it just a case of bad proxies?

Also, if you’ve got any tips or workarounds for kali linux proxychains unable to connect, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance, y’all!

P.S. Sorry if this has been asked before—I did a quick search but couldn’t find anything super helpful.

Hey, I had the same issue with kali linux proxychains unable to connect a while back. Turns out, my proxies were just dead. I used this site called *spys.one* to find fresh proxies, and it worked like a charm.

Also, make sure you’re running the command with `sudo`. Sometimes, permissions can mess things up. If that doesn’t work, try commenting out the `proxy_dns` line in the config file. That fixed it for me. Good luck!

Yo, I feel your pain. kali linux proxychains unable to connect is such a headache. Have you checked if your network is blocking the proxies? Some networks are super strict.

I’d recommend using *proxychains-ng* instead of the default one. It’s more updated and has fewer bugs. You can grab it from GitHub. Also, try using a VPN alongside proxychains—it might bypass any network restrictions. Hope that helps!

Hey! I’ve been there too. kali linux proxychains unable to connect is a common issue, especially with bad proxies. I use *hidemy.name* to test if my proxies are actually working before plugging them into proxychains.

Another thing—make sure your `/etc/proxychains.conf` file has the correct chain type set (like strict_chain or dynamic_chain). Sometimes, that’s the culprit. Also, try running `proxychains curl ifconfig.me` to see if it’s actually routing traffic. Let us know how it goes!

Dude, I had the same problem last week. kali linux proxychains unable to connect drove me insane. I ended up using *shadowsocks* as a workaround. It’s way more reliable for tunneling traffic.

If you’re set on proxychains, though, try this: set `proxy_dns` to `no` in the config file. Sometimes DNS leaks can cause connection issues. Also, make sure your proxies are in the right format (IPort). Hope this helps you out!

Hey, I’ve been using kali linux proxychains for a while, and the unable to connect issue is usually proxy-related. I’d suggest using *free-proxy.cz* to grab some fresh proxies.

Also, check if your system’s DNS is conflicting. You can try setting a custom DNS like 1.1.1.1 in your network settings. And don’t forget to restart proxychains after making changes. Sometimes it’s the little things that get overlooked. Good luck!

Hey y’all, thanks for all the suggestions! I tried switching to *proxychains-ng* and used *spys.one* to grab some fresh proxies. It’s working now, but I’m still having some DNS issues.

I set `proxy_dns` to `no` in the config file, but now some sites won’t resolve. Any tips on how to fix that? Also, I’ll give *shadowsocks* a shot if this keeps acting up. Thanks again, you guys are lifesavers!

Hey, I’ve been there too. kali linux proxychains unable to connect is super frustrating. One thing that worked for me was using *Tor* as a proxy. Just set `socks5 127.0.0.1 9050` in your proxychains.conf file.

Also, make sure your proxies are in the right section of the config file (under [ProxyList]). And yeah, double-check if they’re alive using a tool like *proxycheck.io*. Let us know if you figure it out!
