Use socks host for dns lookups in Firefox
When you use a socks proxy with firefox (with SSH for instance) the dns lookups are done via your default gateway. Which makes the whole thing pointless if you’re trying to be private. This setting makes the dns lookups go out over the tunnel where they can’t be sniffed.
1. go to about:config
2. search for network.proxy.socks_remote_dns
3. Set to true, which will have the proxy server perform DNS lookups.
