Description

With proxychains 4.17, specifying quiet_mode in /etc/proxychains.conf does not silence the [proxychains] DLL init: proxychains-ng 4.17 message. It can only be silenced by the -q command line argument.

Research direction

Start with the quiet_mode setting in /etc/proxychains.conf and compare its behavior with the -q command-line argument. Trace where the [proxychains] DLL init message is emitted and how each option is handled. Done means quiet_mode suppresses that message in the same way as -q.
