How to surf web anonymously using tor and proxychains

 To install Tor and proxychains on Linux, you can follow these steps:

1. **Install Tor:**
   - On Debian/Ubuntu-based systems:
     ```
     sudo apt-get update
     sudo apt-get install tor
     ```
   - On Red Hat-based systems:
     ```
     sudo yum install tor
     ```
   - On Arch Linux:
     ```
     sudo pacman -S tor
     ```

2. **Configure Tor (Optional):**
   By default, Tor is configured to run as a client. You may need to modify the configuration file located at `/etc/tor/torrc` if you want to customize the setup. You might want to configure it to run as a relay or bridge, but for basic usage, the default settings are usually sufficient.

3. **Start Tor Service:**
   ```
   sudo systemctl start tor
   ```
   or
   ```
   sudo service tor start
   ```

4. **Install proxychains:**
   - On Debian/Ubuntu-based systems:
     ```
     sudo apt-get install proxychains
     ```
   - On Red Hat-based systems:
     ```
     sudo yum install proxychains
     ```
   - On Arch Linux:
     ```
     sudo pacman -S proxychains-ng
     ```

5. **Configure proxychains:**
   Once proxychains is installed, you need to configure it to use Tor as a proxy. The configuration file is located at `/etc/proxychains.conf`. Open it in a text editor:
   ```
   sudo nano /etc/proxychains.conf
   ```
   Find the line that begins with `socks4` or `socks5`, depending on your Tor configuration, and make sure it's uncommented (i.e., remove the `#` at the beginning of the line). It should look like this:
   ```
   # socks4 127.0.0.1 9050
   ```
   or
   ```
   # socks5 127.0.0.1 9050
   ```
   Uncomment it and save the file.

6. **Test proxychains:**
   You can test proxychains by running a command with it. For example:
   ```
   proxychains curl https://example.com
   ```
   This will make the curl command use Tor as a proxy.

Remember to always use Tor and proxychains responsibly and in accordance with local laws and regulations.
