Note: * s/those options remains same/those options which mentioned above remains same/ * s/all remain same/all that were mentioned above remain same/ Received from Bry8 Star, on 2013-03-15 3:15 AM: > Hi, > when i setup socks5 proxy (without torbirdy plugin) in Thunderbird, > then these config options are set: > > network.proxy.socks="127.0.0.1" > network.proxy.socks_port="9050" > network.proxy.type="1" > network.proxy.socks_version="5" > network.proxy.socks_remote_dns=true > > and i also manually set few other config params/options, that are > related to make this specific thunderbird anonymous friendly. > > with those thunderbird works fine. > > And, after installing Torbirdy plugin, those options remains same. > > But when i disabled Torbirdy, then: > except for below config option, all remain same: > network.proxy.socks_remote_dns=false > > And because of this, Thunderbird starts to use local DNS resolver on > user's local computer, instead of using remote dns via Socks5 proxy ! > > Thus, a disabled Torbirdy itself is cause of DNS leaks. > > Luckily i have firewall in place, which previously pre-set to > not-allow any traffic from Thunderbird toward any where else, only > connection allowed for Thunderbird, is toward the ip address > 127.0.0.1 on port 9050.
