Re: [tor-talk] SOCKS proxy to sit between user and Tor?

["l.m" <ter.one.leeboi@xxxxxxxx>]

Of course turning off remote resolves to use a local resolver (free of
conflicts) also has this downside. Settings persist between tbb launch
so if remote DNS is turned off and a local resolver is down a leak
occurs using the system DNS.

If anything, for the sake of your sanity try to keep everything in the
plugin.

you decide to use another SOCKS proxy
you may encounter another problem. Suppose I bypass the port assigned
to your custom proxy and instead point to the usual tor proxy. This
might occur if a user manually configures the proxy and cannot tell
the difference between the two. Most likely it'll fail and they'll
notice. In a worst case, your blockchain resolves are bypassed and a
leak occurs. 

It also raises the question of whether you really want to have a SOCKS
proxy for both regular firefox and tbb/tor.
