Description

proxychains isn't working when I use dynamic_chain.... Any idea why it fails?


nmap with dynamic proxychains

./proxychains4 -f proxychains4.conf nmap -p 1433 192.168.210.15 -Pn
[proxychains] config file found: proxychains4.conf
[proxychains] preloading ./libproxychains4.so

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported ./proxychains4 command with the shown proxychains4.conf and the two SOCKS5 endpoints, then inspect the dynamic-chain connection path. Compare the timeout and socket-error behavior for 127.0.0.1:1080, 127.0.0.1:1081, and the target; done means the failure has a confirmed cause and a concrete correction or explanation.
