Launch One Windows Program Through Proxychains.exe

The Windows project Proxychains.exe can launch a program and hook supported Winsock TCP calls so that its connections use SOCKS5. This is a process wrapper, so another application need not adopt the same proxy setting.

With an existing matching Windows build available, a command using its proxychains.exe alias can look like:

proxychains.exe -f "C:\Proxy\proxychains.conf" "C:\Tools\client.exe"

Keep the associated hook DLL with the wrapper. The project requires a compatible platform and architecture: use the matching x86 or x64 build for the target program.

Starting from the project's supplied configuration, keep one SOCKS5 entry for a single-proxy route:

strict_chain
proxy_dns

[ProxyList]
socks5 127.0.0.1 1080

Replace the endpoint and review the supplied direct-route exceptions. The SOCKS5 proxy list offers remote endpoint candidates for public destinations; the loopback example instead requires a listener on this Windows machine. The example shows the core settings, not the entire distributed file. That file explicitly marks dynamic_chain and random_chain as unsupported; Linux proxychains-ng recipes using those modes are not interchangeable.

The wrapper injects a DLL and hooks selected APIs in the launched process and descendants. Its documented TCP scope does not establish a route for arbitrary UDP traffic or every possible networking implementation.

Validate the particular program and destinations involved. A changed web exit for one request is evidence about that request, not a universal anonymity guarantee for the process.
