Question: proxychains mount- and ping-commands and UDP-Protocols through socks5/http-Proxy

Author: RichardBeisserCreated Jul 20, 2020Updated May 4, 2026

Hello,

is it possible to use proxychains with mount-command or ping-command? Can I use proxychains for UDP-Protocolls like ntp for sync time, or RTP for Voip?

If yes, how?

Thanks.

Usecase: I want to sync date/time on my rPI. I also want to mount some webdav-Drives. For connecting to internet i am using a android-smartphone an tethering. Because the phone uses a VPN, Tethering-Traffic dont go through VPN (general problem of android). So i have to use a socksproxy-Server-App to bring the tethering-traffic though the VPN.
