Proxychains - wget cannot work

Question

I configured ProxyChains to use 127.0.0.1:1080 as the only socks server. All DNS queries are proxied through the specified server.

I can use Firefox correctly with ProxyChains, but there is a problem with wget. Whenever I use proxychains wget , it first tries to connect to my university proxy and then tries to connect to my local proxy.

The output from the proxychains wget www.google.com command is as follows:

 ProxyChains-3.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net) --2010-11-26 22:14:38-- http://www.google.com/ Resolving **********... |DNS-request| ********** |D-chain|-<>-127.0.0.1:1080-<><>-4.2.2.2:53-<><>-OK |DNS-response|: ********** is not exist failed: Unknown error. wget: unable to resolve host address `**********' 

********** above represents my university proxy hostname.

Answer 1

My problem was resolved after it became root ("sudo sh") and ran the same command.

Launched the proxychains sudo wget google.com team.

Answer 2

You can try to determine your proxy address with a shell environment variable. The wget manual section contains brief configuration information for the proxy.

Answer 3

in the file /usr/lib/proxychains3/proxyresolv

change 4.2.2.2 - 8.8.8.8

or use env PROXYRESOLV_DNS

You can also make proxychains not a proxy DNS query,

in proxychains.conf comment on the proxy_dns parameter
