As I learned more about dns and proxy, I'd like to withdraw this feature request for the following reasons:
Remote dns probably requires application support, so it should not be proper to make it system wide. Socks5 supports UDP, which functions for DNS proxy, if the proxy also supports it well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1628490 Title: system-wide remote dns for network proxy is needed Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The kind of remote dns that firefox has (or other browsers have). Firefox remote dns setting: https://proxyradar.com/img/kb/ff_setup_proxy.png For proficient users, they could choose proper iptables rules to redirect all udp-port-53 traffic to some sophisticated socksifier software, then use the socksifier to carry on the traffic to system network proxy. But for less experienced users, theses steps seem insurmountable. That's why I (and perhaps some others) think we need this feature on Ubuntu. And it would be better if it's possible to exclude some local ip addresses as firefox does. With all that said, I can fully understand if final decision is made that this feature should not be put on the priority list.
