Re: Tor Button



Basically if i am connected to a proxy over an encrypted vpn. What i understand is that any browsing i do, the dns resolves will still leak info. Is there a way i can combine this proxy service with polipo or privoxy? Polipo would be better as i can use the Tor bundle and just change the porxy settings...
 
I hope someone does help in this...

No, preventing DNS leaking is up to the protocol used to talk with the proxy.
You can, however, use tor button with other proxies and get the extra
features provided by the extension (session isolation, cookies management
and so on). Quite odd but it should work :)
