Hi, Current devel branch state wrt. arbitrary DNS queries support¹ is: everything but .onion / .exit is resolved using ttdnsd.
[1] https://tails.boum.org/todo/support_arbitrary_dns_queries/ I implemented this feature this way a few months ago because of Tor bug #3369; we've had this bug fixed in the Tor 0.2.2.x branch. Resolving mostly everything using Google DNS servers worries me a bit as it gives that corporation the power to censor virtually every Internet resource it want for Tails users. What we really want instead is: query Tor resolver first, fallback to ttdnsd if the former fails. This is possible using Tor 0.2.2.x. I'm usually pretty reluctant to install into Tails software that is officially marked as experimental by upstream, but in the present case, I happen to have been running the beta, then the RC for a while, and have had no problem with it. Well, actually I've found it to be running a bit more reliably than the current (0.2.1.x) stable branch. Any differing or concurring experience report from others? Proposal: install Tor 0.2.2.x RC in the devel branch, meant to prepare Tails 0.8, and fix that annoying DNS configuration in there (I prepared last part in commit 849e922 of feature/support_arbitrary_dns_queries Git branch, built a Tails image from it, and tested it with Tor 0.2.2 RC. Seems to work nicely.) What do you think?
