Forward DNS to Orbot over SOCKS5
See original GitHub issueToday, users need to manually set DNS Proxy
in the app to forward DNS
packets to Orbot’s DNS endpoint. Cumbersome.
Instead, Orbot can handle DNS
over SOCKS5
, and so, use that. Of course let users choose if they’d want to use split DNS and not forward it to Orbot.
Ref #131

Send a relative straight forward pull-request to Orbot (hopefully, got the change right): https://github.com/guardianproject/orbot/pull/705
Let’s see what they’ve got to say about it. In the meanwhile, we can default to forwarding traffic over
localhost:5400
when Orbot is active, I guess?Note that you can set a DNS Proxy (from the DNS Configure page) to forward traffic to local Orbot DNS port.
We should also proxy DoH over Orbot’s SOCKS5 port (DoHoT), ref: https://github.com/alecmuffett/dohot/blob/master/INSTALL.md
