Indeed, however neither program's purpose is to 'plug dns leaks'. They simply feed what connection [dns] requests they receive on towards Tor. If the user's application this side of the proxy doesn't honor it's own proxy/socks config for all requests, that's leaky, and neither privoxy/polipo can do anything about it. If you want to be safe from whatever random app fires [or you fire] up, and all their various requests... run in/behind/under some form of network sandbox that catches all traffic and shoves it through Tor or sinks it. *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
