Route Network Commands Through Proxychains
Network failures can block package installs, repository access, and diagnostics. This skill helps agents retry approved commands through a local proxychains4 proxy.
Supports: Claude Codex Code(CC)

Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "proxychains" from https://skillstore.io/skills/2025emma-proxychains.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/2025emma-proxychains/manifest. Verify the artifact. Stop and obtain explicit user consent before installing or changing files.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it
Using "proxychains". A repository clone fails because the remote host times out.
Expected outcome:
- A short diagnosis that separates DNS failure, proxy service failure, and remote service failure.
- A recommended retry path that asks for confirmation before proxying the command.
- A reminder to use only an approved proxy endpoint.
Using "proxychains". A user needs a proxychains configuration for local development.
Expected outcome:
- A concise configuration plan for a user-level proxychains file.
- Plain-language explanations for chain mode, proxy DNS, timeouts, and proxy list entries.
- Validation steps that avoid sending sensitive data to external services.
Using "proxychains". A team wants to document proxy usage for package installs.
Expected outcome:
- A policy-aware checklist for when proxy retries are allowed.
- A list of commands that require explicit approval before execution.
- Warnings about privileged commands, persistent shell wrappers, and public connectivity tests.
Security Audit
High Riskv7 • 7/4/2026 Open versioned report
The skill is a transparent proxychains helper, not malware, and most static hits are documentation examples or expected user-level proxy configuration. The confirmed risk is that it encourages broad and sometimes automatic proxy routing, including blocked HTTP responses, SOCKS proxy chains, privileged setup commands, and persistent wrappers.

Confirmed security concerns (4)
High
Network reconnaissance
- ❌ HTTP 403/451 blocked access
The skill treats HTTP 403/451 blocked access as a trigger for proxy use. That can turn an access-control response into an automatic bypass attempt.
High
Automatic Proxy Bypass of Blocked Network Access
The skill tells Claude to automatically add proxychains4 after network failures and includes HTTP 403/451 blocked access as a trigger. This can bypass organization or service access controls without a fresh user decision.
The automation rules and trigger list explicitly direct the agent to proxy failed or blocked requests. The risk is intent-level and not limited to one static proxy token.
Medium
Traffic Pattern Hiding and Anonymity Guidance
The setup guide recommends random proxy chains for hiding traffic patterns and high anonymity requirements. That guidance can support evasive network behavior beyond normal troubleshooting.
The cited lines explicitly describe hiding traffic patterns and anonymity as use cases. Legitimate privacy uses exist, so the severity is medium rather than critical.
Medium
Persistent Proxy Shell and Command Wrappers
The references show starting shells and wrapper scripts that route future commands through proxychains. This can make later network activity use a proxy unexpectedly if users copy the examples.
The examples directly launch a proxied shell and create proxy wrapper scripts. They are documented, but the persistence effect is broader than a single command retry.
Capability review items (82)
These are real local capabilities that may be expected for this skill, so they require review but are not counted as confirmed malicious behavior.

Spec Compliance
What You Can Build
Recover Developer Dependency Access
Retry approved package and repository commands through a configured local proxy when direct network access fails.
Diagnose Proxychains Configuration
Check local proxy availability, proxychains configuration files, DNS proxying, and common timeout causes.
Document Controlled Proxy Workflows
Create repeatable guidance for teams that must route specific tooling through an approved proxy endpoint.
Try These Prompts
Diagnose a Failed Download
A curl or wget command failed with a timeout. Check whether proxychains4 is available and suggest a safe retry plan using my approved local proxy.
Set Up Local Proxychains
Help me create a user-level proxychains4 configuration for a local HTTP proxy on 127.0.0.1:9910, and explain what each setting changes.
Review Package Manager Proxy Use
A package manager cannot reach its registry. Compare direct retry, mirror selection, and proxychains4 usage, then recommend the safest option.
Design a Policy-Aware Proxy Workflow
Draft a controlled workflow for routing selected developer commands through proxychains4, including approval points, logging, and rollback steps.
Best Practices
- Ask for explicit user approval before proxying a failed command, especially after a 403 or 451 response.
- Use only organization-approved proxy endpoints and avoid public IP-check services when internal tests are available.
- Keep proxychains configuration user-scoped and document every persistent alias or wrapper script.
Avoid
- Do not use proxychains to bypass access controls, regional restrictions, or service policy decisions.
- Do not run privileged package manager commands through a proxy without explicit user approval.
- Do not create shell startup changes or command wrappers that silently proxy future traffic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this skill provide a proxy server?
No. It assumes the user already has an approved local proxy service, commonly on 127.0.0.1:9910.
Can it proxy every application?
No. Proxychains mainly works with dynamically linked TCP clients and may fail for UDP or static binaries.
Is automatic proxy retry always safe?
No. Proxying blocked requests can violate policy, so the user should approve retries first.
Why does the skill mention SOCKS proxies?
Proxychains supports HTTP, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 entries, but the proxy endpoint must be trusted.
Does it change system configuration?
The included setup script creates a user-level proxychains configuration. Some documentation examples discuss optional shell wrappers.
What should teams review before using it?
Teams should review proxy policy, privileged commands, logging requirements, and approved connectivity test endpoints.
