Description
When I use yay with proxychains to install software, it had FTP error. I have rebuilt yay using gcc-go.

The IP of destinations is ftp.gnu.org:21. I don't know why it changed to 127.0.0.1:25603.
About proxychains-ng, I just change ProxyList

So, how to fix it. Thx

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported FTP failure when yay runs through proxychains-ng, using the ProxyList configuration described in the issue. Compare the intended ftp.gnu.org:21 destination with the observed 127.0.0.1:25603 endpoint and inspect the proxychains-ng networking path. Done means the cause is identified and the affected proxychains-ng behavior is corrected or clearly documented.
