--- Begin Message ---Package: tor Version: 0.2.3.25-1~~squeeze+1 Severity: wishlist Tor DNS currently has a crippling limitation of being unable to resolve MX queries. This limitation is severe, because there is no workaround. Although this report is technically a "wishlist" request, it probably should be treated as a defect. The torsocks package cannot compensate for this limitation, because torsocks depends entirely on tordns. Old versions of torsocks were able to disable tordns, so that clients at least had the option perform MX queries by other* means. * (other means could be deliberate but acceptible leaks, or by using ttdnsd and pdnsd packages -- but these options are essentially blocked) -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages tor depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libevent-1.4-2 1.4.13-stable-1 An asynchronous event notification ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4squeeze14 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-23.2squeeze1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages tor recommends: ii logrotate 3.7.8-6 Log rotation utility ii tor-geoipdb 0.2.3.25-1~~squeeze+1 GeoIP database for Tor ii torsocks 1.0~epsilon+dfsg1-1 use socks-friendly applications wi Versions of packages tor suggests: pn apparmor-utils <none> (no description available) ii mixmaster 3.0.0-4 Anonymous remailer client and serv ii privoxy 3.0.16-1 Privacy enhancing HTTP Proxy ii socat 1.7.1.3-1 multipurpose relay for bidirection ii tor-arm 1.4.5.0-1~squeeze terminal status monitor for tor pn xul-ext-torbutton <none> (no description available)

You can tunnel DNS requests through tor, but that's not the same. This limitation is known, and I agree that it's a shortcoming. Nevertheless, keeping this issue active in the Debian BTS is unlikely to change the state of things. Thus, I'm closing this issue here. -- | .''`. ** Debian ** Peter Palfrader | : :' : The universal https://www.palfrader.org/ | `. `' Operating System | `- https://www.debian.org/
