Proxychains fails but foxyproxy works?
Here's a proxy problem I am trying to understand.
There's a http squid proxy in 192.168.215.189:3128 . No other ports of the specified IP is exposed externally. I created a foxyproxy proxy and used that to successfully browse other ports of the IP (Port 8080 specifically). I used another tool spose.py to port scan the IP through the proxy and it gave me 2 ports back successfully.
But when I try the same with a proxychains proxy, it fails to do so. I configured the proxychains file and added this line to the configuration file http 192.168.215.189 3128 , as it's just one proxy the type of chain should not matter but I have tried each of them from dynamic, strict and random. The proxy_dns is uncommented in the configuration file. When I try to use proxychains to nmap scan the port 8080 (Which I know is there because I can access it from the browser), it says denied and the port comes back as closed .
I have tried to curl the port 8080 through proxychains but it fails to connect after 0 ms.
Can anyone explain why proxychains is failing ?[
