Description

Does this new generation proxychains do something with environment variables. It seems that some of the programs that I am running with proxychains-ng and which read environment variables are no longer working because proxychains-ng wouldn't let it read the env variables.

Though I never faced this problem with proxychains 3.1

Research direction

Start by reproducing the environment-variable behavior with proxychains-ng and compare it with proxychains 3.1, using a program that reads environment variables. Trace where proxychains-ng affects that program's execution and identify whether the variables are being blocked or changed. Done means the affected programs can read the expected environment variables without breaking proxying.
