+    Proxychains is a program that sends your traffic through a series of 

+    open web proxies that you supply before sending it on to your final 

+    destination. <a href="#KeyManagement">Unlike Tor</a>, proxychains 

+    does not encrypt the connections between each proxy. An open proxy 

+    that wanted to monitor your connection can see all the other proxy 

+    servers you wanted to use between itself and your final destination, 

+    as well as the IP address that proxy hop receives traffic from.

+    Because the <a

+    even a misbehaving relay can see the entire path of any Tor user. 

+    </p>

+    <p>

+    While Tor relays are run by volunteers and checked periodically for 

+    suspicious behavior, many open proxies that can be found with a search 

+    engine are worm-compromised machines, misconfigured private proxies 

+    not intended for public use, or honeypots set up to exploit users.
