# Proxychains on Windows There have been times when I wanted to use the microsoft remote desktop application through a socks proxy in Windows. This is mostly because sometimes xfreerdp in linux doesn't play nice with NLA and I don't have creds to run this command to disable it. ``` powershell (Get-WmiObject -class Win32_TSGeneralSetting -Namespace root\cimv2\terminalservices -ComputerName thecomputer -Filter "TerminalName='RDP-tcp'").SetUserAuthenticationRequired(0) ``` But I recently found a way... https://github.com/shunf4/proxychains-windows Download the binary Unzip the package Edit the proxychains.conf at the end to have: ``` socks5 127.0.0.1 1080 ``` In the middle of the file you may notice IP-CIDR lines. These create direct routes for 10.x and 192.x you might want to comment them out. Save the config And open mstsc using proxychains specifying your config ``` proxychains_win32_x64.exe -f proxychains.conf mstsc.exe ```
