You're setting up Tor on Kali Linux from a USB drive, and you've added SOCKS5 to your proxychains.conf. Since you're new to Linux, it might help to double-check the configuration file paths and ensure the USB is properly mounted. If the timeout keeps happening, try restarting Tor or checking network connectivity. Let me know if you need guidance on editing the config or troubleshooting further.
For beginners on Unix, starting with Kali isn't the best choice. Avoid using Tor if your internet service provider is linked to your account details or payment information. The Tails live CD offers a simpler alternative, but keep in mind that Tor has been compromised for some time now—it's essentially ineffective and could draw unwanted attention from the Five Eyes network as suspicious activity.
Verified if Tor is active. As someone using Kali Linux, I need confirmation whether you’re truly comfortable with this setup before proceeding. Kali is designed for experienced penetration testers.
I executed the command "service tor status" and confirmed it was operational.
Open the configuration file and add the following line: forward-socks5 / 127.0.0.1:9050. If behind NAT or router, insert: forward 192.168.*.*/ (replace the numbers with your local IP). Then disable privoxy, tor, and start the services.
