Hello,
This is not critical for myself. However, it would be for a few friends/relatives I've been helping out. Someone mentioned they were running Linux on a virtual machine hosted by Windows 7. When they run establish a VPN connection on Windows 7 they have firewall rules to block DNS leaks. However, when the Windows 7 host is routing through the VPN and the Linux VM runs Tor, they believe they are experiencing DNS leaks using the TBB. I tried running TBB 3.5 over VPN (Netherlands server) on a Windows 7 machine and went to: http://ipleak.net/ http://dnsleaktext.com and noticed a slew of name servers (6-14) with the Tor Browser. Vidalia 0.2.2.1 displayed the circuit was in the US, Germany & Romania and the name servers were in the US, Sweden, Netherlands and Germany Using Firefox these sites showed the VPN provider name server (Netherlands) only. 1) Would this be typical behavior of the Tor Browser? I noticed on doc/SupportPrograms https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/SupportPrograms it mentioned: "Tor's 0.2.0.x series provides a built-in DNS forwarder, obsoleting TorDNS and dns-proxy-tor". 2) Are the DNS queries going out the Exit Relay only? I scoped out some info on the TorFAQ https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorFAQ#IkeepseeingthesewarningsaboutSOCKSandDNSandinformationleaks.ShouldIworry TorifyHOWTO: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorifyHOWTO 3) I'm not really sure which solution to use (in my case for Windows)? I'm a newbie in this community and not extremely technical but might be able to stumble through it but those end-users are not technical and would need a relatively simple solution. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks lot. -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
