    proxychains ng (new generation) - a preloader which hooks calls to sockets in dynamically linked programs and redirects it through one or more socks/http proxies. continuation of the unmaintained proxychains project. the sf.net page is currently not updated, use releases from github release page instead.

  • Chrome lets you set a proxy but not a username or password but I have a proxy that can only be authenticated with a password. I tried using proxychains-ng but that doesn't work with Chrome https://github.com/rofl0r/proxychains-ng/issues/45.

  • microsocks

  • Some people suggested using https://github.com/rofl0r/microsocks with it but I can't tell how to make them work together.
