proxychains
proxychains - a tool that forces any TCP connection made by any given application to follow through proxy like TOR or any other SOCKS4, SOCKS5 or HTTP(S) proxy. Supported auth-types: "user/pass" for SOCKS4/5, "basic" for HTTP. (by haad)

Using LD_PRELOAD to cheat, inject features and investigate programs
Fun fact: proxychains uses LD_PRELOAD [0] to hook the necessary syscalls [1] for setting up a "proxy environment" for the wrapped program, e.g. `connect`, `gethostbyname`, `gethostbyaddr`, etc. Note this also implies that it could be leaky in some cases when applied to a program that uses alternative syscalls to make an external connection.

/etc/proxychains.conf is empty
I assume that https://github.com/haad/proxychains is the project in question. At https://github.com/haad/proxychains/blob/master/src/proxychains.conf you can view the contents of the configuration file and then save it in /etc/proxychains.conf.

Proxychains.conf empty???
That is weird. However, missing configs are usually an easy problem to solve - simply find one online and copy it (once you understand it). Here is the one from the proxy chains repo. Lastly, be careful with Kali, it's definitely not suited to beginners (you're doing the right thing running it in a VM at least).

TOOL: ntlmrelayx2proxychains
ntlmrelayx2proxychains aims to connect the tool of the SecureAuthCorps' impacket suite, ntlmrelayx.py (hereafter referred to as "ntlmrelayx"), along with @byt3bl33d3r's tool, CrackMapExec (hereafter referred to as "CME"), over proxychains, developped by haad.

Setting network proxy on linux desktop
You can go even further with tools like proxychains that let you chain multiple proxies. This is used while setting up tor and comes pre-installed with pentesting distros like Kali and ParrotOS.

Mapping AD
Regarding network shares, I personally tend to use crackmapexec with a list of systems. It won't list the ACLs but it is very good at finding out what a standard domain user could access (if this is what you are after) https://github.com/byt3bl33d3r/CrackMapExec
What are some alternatives?
When comparing proxychains and CrackMapExec you can also consider the following projects:
torsocks - Library to torify application - NOTE: upstream has been moved to https://gitweb.torproject.org/torsocks.git
impacket - Impacket is a collection of Python classes for working with network protocols.
Tor - Tor protects your privacy on the Internet by hiding the connection between your Internet address and the services you use. (This is *not* the official repository.)
BloodHound - Six Degrees of Domain Admin
nipe - An engine to make Tor network your default gateway
Metasploit - Metasploit Framework
