Sorry this isn't as much a question as an answer (sort of).
Alot of people complain about an error message like

|S-chain|-<>-proxy:8080-<><>-4.2.2.2:53-<-denied
or
|S-chain|-<>-proxy:8080-<><>-target:80-<-denied

I did some technical reading, much of which didn't make sense but basically if you use a HTTPS proxy instead of HTTP then it will/should work.

Don't change your conf file to https just keep it as http but make sure the proxy is advertised as a https one.
http 192.168.89.3 8080

this worked using proxychains with firefox for me but I havn't tried any other applications.

I hope this might help anyone.
