Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:3 gk]:
 > Hrm, so you avoid the DNS proxy bypass by adding the proxy for HTTP(S).
 Why not adding it for FTP as well if you are seeing DNS requests while you
 are at it?

 I tried setting an ftp proxy, but the DNS still leaked. I don't know how
 an FTP proxy works, but maybe it doesn't use host names and so the client
 is obliged to resolve the name itself.

 I think my idea in comment:2 might work better and would require
 blackholing the socks proxy only (but I haven't tried it yet). You can
 hold off on this ticket, if you like, while I try it.
