Re: DNS Server question



OK - so if I understand correctly...

If I setup FireFox to use:

Manual Proxy Configuration:
HTTP Proxy: localhost:8118
SSL Proxy: localhost:8118
SOCKS Host: localhost:9050
SOCKS v5

then, this should be routing the DNS queries from FireFox over tor thus
hiding the DNS queries from the ISP from within FireFox... right? or no? :)
