This isn't an issue with kali. This is an issue w/ the individual using proxychains. Yes the tool is supported by kali, but the tool is maintained by another. (side note: The tool itself is meant to support, and use your custom set values, one of which you should be very comfortable running. It's why you have test environments.)

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x/2017.1), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
