Summary0001766: Tor+Proxychains not working
Description

I have installed tor package and made changes in configuration file of proxychains to dynamic chains.
Added: socks5 127.0.0.1 9050
and started the tor service
then issued the command from terminal : proxychains iceweasel www.duckduckgo.com
iceweasel opens up and gives me the message that "server not found"
this same issue happens for other sites as well.
updated the system, but still the problem persists.
Kindly help.

Steps To Reproduce

For Kali Linux 1.0.9
1) install tor (if not installed) apt-get install tor
2) start tor : service tor start
3) change the config file for proxychains in /etc/proxychains.conf and made following changes:
(i) comment out the strict_chain
(ii) enable the dynamic_chain
(iii) add the ip:port combo as : socks5 127.0.0.1 9050
(save and exit)

4) from the terminal type the command : proxychains iceweasel www.duckduckgo.com
5) the message i get is the error of 'server not found'

Additional Information

the tor service has been made start-stop-start-stop many times, including system restarts, even the browser has been resetted to its default settings, but this is not working.
however, this same procedure works for older version of kali linux.
Please look into this issue.

This seems like a DNS issue on your side, not a bug.
