Re: [tor-talk] torsocks vs proxychains4



It usually works well, but for instance, when running firefox (or other
browser with it) it may leak your DNS requests, so beware of that.

To avoid this you could edit /etc/resolv.conf to
nameserver 127.0.0.1

and your requests will be resolved through tor.
