proxychains - cannot get wget working

Question

I have configured ProxyChains to use 127.0.0.1:1080 as the only socks server. All the DNS requests are proxied through the above server.

I am able to use Firefox with ProxyChains properly, but there is some issue with wget. Whenever I use proxychains wget it first tries to connect to my university's proxy server and then it tries to connect to my local proxy server.

The output of the command proxychains wget www.google.com is as follows:

ProxyChains-3.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net)
--2010-11-26 22:14:38--  http://www.google.com/
Resolving **********... |DNS-request| **********
|D-chain|-<>-127.0.0.1:1080-<><>-4.2.2.2:53-<><>-OK
|DNS-response|: ********** is not exist
failed: Unknown error.
wget: unable to resolve host address `**********'

********** above represents my university's proxy server host name.

Answer 1

in file /usr/lib/proxychains3/proxyresolv

change 4.2.2.2 to 8.8.8.8

or use env PROXYRESOLV_DNS

also you can make proxychains doesn't proxy DNS request,

in proxychains.conf comment the proxy_dns setting
