Hey all. I checked the forums and Google for similar problems and I found one here but it still hasn't helped me get around something.
I've been using Kali for about 2 weeks now, and I've been having trouble getting proxychains to work. With most attempts it just shows "ProxyChains-3.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net)" and runs the command immediately, without going through the proxies given. However, when I run proxychains nmap www.mywebpage.com, it shows it going through the proxies - even though they either timeout or are denied, until it connects to 4.2.2.2:53 for DNS check, then it runs.. without masking my IP - Using just TOR it always says it's being denied. Running proxychains elinks cmyip.com doesn't do anything but pull up cmyip.com and shows my real IP. This all works fine on my other box running BackTrack 5 RC3. ****, sorry if this is confusing, I suck at explaining things. I'll post my config here. I've tried everything from using dynamic_chain and strict_chain, to using only the TOR proxy, to using lots of live proxies. I have TOR (and privoxy if it matters) installed and run it with service tor start. Thanks in advance, if you can understand this. If not, I can try again to explain. >.o For your convenience I've cut a lot of the commented stuff from the config file:
Again, any other proxychains <command> fails without even going thro0ugh the chain.

And hi, I'm Enks. Oh if you want the log of the only instance in which this works, here goes: # proxychains nmap www.mysiteblahblah.com ProxyChains-3.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net) Starting Nmap 6.25 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-04-21 05:43 EDT |DNS-request| www.mysiteblahblah.com |D-chain|-<>-127.0.0.1:9050-<>-#.#.#.195:8080-<--denied |D-chain|-<>-127.0.0.1:9050-<>-#.#.#.133:8080-<--denied |D-chain|-<>-127.0.0.1:9050-<><>-4.2.2.2:53-<><>-OK |D-chain|-<>-127.0.0.1:9050-<><>-4.2.2.2:53-<><>-OK |DNS-response| www.mysiteblahblah is #.#.#.78 Nmap scan report for www.mysiteblahblah (#.#.#.78)
