Description
ProxyChains NG is based on ProxyChains. ProxyChains NG hooks network-related (TCP only) libc functions in dynamically linked programs via a preloaded DSO (dynamic shared object) and redirects the connections through one or more SOCKS4a/5 or HTTP proxies. Since Proxy Chains NG relies on the dynamic linker, statically linked binaries are not supported.
Compatible with all RHEL-based distributions, including CentOS, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, etc.
