To install and configure proxychains, follow these steps: 1. Install proxychains using the command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt install proxychains`. 2. Edit the configuration file with: `sudo nano /etc/proxychains.conf` and add your SOCKS proxy address at the end, e.g., `socks5 127.0.0.1 1080`. 3. Save and exit the editor (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X). Key configuration options include: - Enable quiet mode to suppress detailed connection information. - Choose between `strict_chain` (all proxies must be online) and `dynamic_chain` (can skip dead proxies). - Consider uncommenting `proxydns` if you encounter DNS resolution issues, though it's generally recommended to keep it commented. - Set timeout settings for TCP read and connect. ProxyList format: each proxy should be listed as `type host port [user pass]`. Finally, run your desired script command with `proxychains` prefixed.

Install proxychains: sudo apt update && sudo apt install proxychains
Edit the configuration file: sudo nano /etc/proxychains.conf, add your SOCKS proxy address at the end of the file, for example: socks5 127.0.0.1 1080 (modify according to your proxy configuration)
Save and exit the editor (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X).

Here is the sample code:

# proxychains.conf  VER 3.1
# HTTP, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 tunneling proxifier with DNS.

# Enable silent mode - suppress detailed connection information output [1,6](@ref)
quiet_mode

# Proxy chaining mode [1,4](@ref)
# strict_chain requires all proxies to be online, dynamic_chain can skip failed proxies [1](@ref)
strict_chain

# Disable proxy DNS to avoid resolution issues [1](@ref)
# If you encounter DNS resolution issues, you can try uncommenting proxydns, but it is usually recommended to keep it commented [1](@ref)
# proxydns

# Timeout settings [1,4](@ref)
tcp_read_time_out 15000
tcp_connect_time_out 8000

# ProxyList format: type host port [user pass] [1,4](@ref)
[ProxyList]
# Configure each proxy in the format type ip port [user pass] on each line [1,4](@ref)
socks5 your IP port username password

Finally, execute the command: proxychains the script command you need to access, paste it afterwards.
