Comment:

 Nothing is leaking. DNS might not be resolving for apps expecting it on
 localhost:5400 but why would that cause a leak?

 Most users rely on Orbot's built in transproxy support. This is enabled by
 granting Orbot root and enabling the transproxy option. If you do this, it
 will turn on transport and dnsport. You do not need to turn on the
 everything or app-by-app options.

 It is two taps to enable this. Any user who has followed Mike's
 instructions is likely capable of tapping twice.

 Orbot now supports custom torrc entries via Orbot Settings menu near the
 bottom. You can set whatever entries you would like there.

 The reason we disabled the ports by default is related to issues with
 Samsung devices and port conflicts. We will reconsider having these ports
 back on by default with an easy option to turn them off for users who
 don't need them.
