Proxychains to Hide IP

In this method, you change IP address by going the number of proxy as wish as you want. Kali has a proxy file you have to edit your working proxy manually. Proxychain is working by three ways.

Static: by default it is static. In this system is go all proxy. If you there is one dead proxy then your system will not work.

Dynamic: In this way, is a proxy is dead system leave and check all other proxies. Dynamic is much better than static change.

Random: it selects random proxy from given proxies. Different for different URL. In the case of any proxy is dead then it selects another Proxy.

Ok, Let’s see how can you do it.

Open your terminal and type following commands

cd /

[it will change directory from user to root]

nano /etc/proxychains.conf

[it will open /etc/proxychains.conf file] as shown in the screenshot.

Now scroll down go to end here you can add own proxies.

Open google type free socks5 proxies [ keep in mind socksk5 proxy is better than HTTP and socks4]

Here I find the site here is enough number of proxies. To add proxy go to the terminal back again [ proxychains.Conf file] add proxy as shown in the screenshot. The first protocol then proxy after that port. Add proxies as wish you want to add. Here I have added only three and saved the file.

To use proxychains type proxychains before using tool

for example To use firefox type in terminal

proxychains Firefox

or

proxychains firefox google.com

To use proxychains for scanning type

proxychains nmap -f opentechinfo.com

VPN: Although proxy change your ip address, but it does not encrypt your data. VPN fully encrypts your information. Nobody like your isp can see that what you are doing.

How to setup free Vpn

1. ok, for this first of all open vpnbook.com and click on openvpn as show in the screenshot.
2. click to download vpn I recommanded you to chose from 1st or 2nd because other vpn are only good for web browsing will not help in scanning.
   
3. After download extract it and open that folder as shown in the screenshot.
4. Now right click anywhere in the folder and click on open in terminal.
5. Ok, now type openvpn vpnbook-euro1-tcp443.ovpn it will ask you for the username and password.
   
   • Username: vpnbook
   • Password: phu5sh8
6. These username and password are avialable at vpnbook.com . After that presss enter to connect to vpn.

As I told you above VPN is the better way to protect your data. But free VPN is very slow. I have recently check news about free Vpn keep logs [ see what you search on the internet] and leak your information.

Best for black hat hackers or illegal service
