It seems weird...i have installed Tor,Privoxy and Proxychains on my Ubuntu for an experimental purpose..i managed to install it properly and got proxychain to run and resolve gxxxxe.com proxychains firefox www.gxxxxe.com, today i was exercising on one of the study i made about proxychains i just opened my terminal typed the same thing proxychains firefox www.gxxxxe.com but end up in error.it does nothing it just opened the firefox and says server not found and on the terminal it was like

ProxyChains-3.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net)

thats it a single line. no chaining and all happening, i really puzzled should i start anything before i use proxychain or is that any problem with DNS or the Tor circuit i have been trying to connect is down?

on Terminal 

|DNS-response|: self-repair.mozilla.org does not exist
|DNS-request| support.mozilla.org 
|S-chain|-<>-127.0.0.1:9050-<--timeout
|DNS-response|: support.mozilla.org does not exist
|DNS-request| support.mozilla.org 
|S-chain|-<>-127.0.0.1:9050-<--timeout
|DNS-response|: support.mozilla.org does not exist

My conf :socks5 127.0.0.1 9050 at the end of proxychain config and forward-socks5 / 127.0.0.1:9050 at the end of privoxy config.

  • hey Gia, i saw it was like "use system proxy setting" but it worked yesterday i don't think the problem has to deal with the browser.

  • you might use a proxy-switcher add'on ? Or try to restart Tor, Privoxy and Proxychain.

  • it means when you use your system proxy settings on the browser, you may reach the websites ?

To fix all the DNS issues like that I do recommend you to use a local resolver configured for using Tor as a transport, but serving your system as usual. I'm using ISC Bind, works like a charm. Don't fprget to edit /etc/resolv.conf and so forth.

  • @RichardGeorge just like that nameserver 127.0.0.1 in the first and ONLY nameserver line in it. Actually I'm using one-lined resolv.conf =)
